Bio-inspired Design Using C-K TheoryIntroductionThe engineer of 2020 is expected to not only offer technical ingenuity but also adapt to acontinuously evolving environment. The ability to operate outside the narrow limits of onediscipline and be ethically grounded in solving the complex problems of the future will also beneeded. To address the competencies of the future engineer, undergraduate education must trainstudents to not only solve engineering challenges that transcend disciplinary boundaries, but alsocommunicate, transfer knowledge, and collaborate across technical and non-technical boundaries.One approach to train engineers in these competencies is teaching biomimicry or bio-inspireddesign in an engineering curriculum, which offers

During the first term the Pods were expected to meet a 2-5 times to agree on their ownmethods of achieving the four Pod goals. While the student designers developed materials andexamples of activities and practices that were likely to achieve the goals, none were specificallyrequired.

studied ethical decision-making in engineering students. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Impact of Flexible Classroom Spaces on Instructor Pedagogy and Student BehaviorIntroductionThe use of active learning techniques, such as asking students to respond to multiple-choice“clicker” questions or to work together with their peers to solve a problem in class, has beenshown to benefit students by improving their retention of information, conceptual understanding,self-esteem, and attitudes about their program of study [1], [2], [3]. However, many barriers stillremain to the implementation of active learning, including insufficient training for instructors, alack

This affects the individual experiences ofteam members, influences the quality of their solutions, and affects their ability to ethically andresponsibly solve complex problems. Student’s diversity compass affects team interactions and,ultimately, the climate of engineering for underrepresented groups.ConclusionsThe two main research questions we asked initially in this project were 1) What are individualstudent’s perceptions of diversity? and 2) What are student’s perceptions of working on diverseteams? We found many different ways first-year students at a large public land grant institutionunderstand and perceive diversity. We

Even though it may take them more time, they are determined to succeed because of all the professional skills they learned through real life: ethical hard work attitude, resourcefulness, perseverance, and grit. After discussion within the project team and with the program officer, the team put together a mechanism of renewing scholarship from year to year and a selection rubric. As a built-in accountability measure, all scholars need to apply for the scholarship and go through the same selection process each year. Once selected, the scholars receiving the scholarship are required to maintain their GPA at 3.0 or higher for the courses they are taking. When
