Academic integrity, engineering ethics, data analysis, teambuilding, and the engineering design process were also covered. There was a laboratorycomponent to the course, which included exercises from a variety of engineering disciplines. Theinverted classroom model was applied to each course component. The theoretical framework forthe inverted classroom approach is based on Bloom’s taxonomy. Each

. Page 24.1228.2Layout of the Innovation CanvasThe IC (Figure 1) is arranged in four quadrants surrounding a central theme of Value. Creatingvalue is the primary objective of most design projects or ventures; therefore it takes “centerstage” on the IC. The “value proposition” is a statement that describes how something of valueis provided to customers/stakeholders (i.e. describing the need that the proposed solution is goingto meet) and is often a primary measure of success. It should be noted that the concept of valuehas a very broad meaning and includes financial, societal, cultural, environmental, sustainability,and ethical valuations. The Value component of the IC is critical for design students as it putstheir work in perspective – they

The research projects of the undergraduate students covered a diversity of topicsrelated to diabetes, including metabolic engineering, biomaterials, biosensors, medical imagingand tissue engineering. In addition to conducting research, students participated in weeklyseminars on topics related to diabetes (basic research, clinical treatment public health andpolicy), weekly ethics seminars, and off-campus tours of research and clinical facilities. Theseactivities were designed to expose students to the broad health implications of the disease and theimportance of research related to the treatment and potential cures for this disease and itscomplications

The primary purpose of these groups is to support research and, to a lesserdegree, teaching activities. However, we characterize the group studied in this work as aResearch and Practice Group. This distinction is made to emphasize the fact that this group alsosupports activities that prepare students to practice engineering. In this way, the group alsoensures student success by building upon the tenets of the Relational Leadership Model5:purpose, inclusion, empowerment, ethics, and process.Further, the development of a research and practice group facilitates

A set of Program Educational Objectives was also developed by theadvisory board and was integrated into the CS program and queued for assessment. The originalCS program was not compliant with ABET Criterion for curriculum; it lacked math and sciencecomponents. It took about a year to revise the curriculum and took it through appropriateuniversity committees for approvals. The revisions consisted of development and addition of alecture and lab course in Scientific Problem Solving as well as courses in Linear Algebra,Probability and Statistics, Computer Ethics, and

learning through fixed amounts of lab time in social interaction with staff and lab partners. There was not the development budget nor the inclination to use autograding as a kind of “intelligent personal tutor15,16” whereby a student works many hours being guided through programmed instruction until mastery of a skill is detected. Nevertheless, it was easy to come up with questions that would require far more time than the students thought they had for the course. In conventional instruction limiting the assigned work is also a way to avoid overloading the amount of grading effort for the staff, but with autograding this is not the case. The “retry until success” work ethic also may require more time than

First, it is clear that bridge program students who did not improve theiroriginal math placement tend to not get a grade of C or better in their first attempt inCollege Algebra, as over the four years only 1 of 7 students accomplished that.
