minors. o Technology Leadership and Communication: one graduate studentThe goals for this project were twofold: to design and configure a real-time DSP platform for themusic effects system and to provide an experiential learning environment where students couldapply best practices in engineering design. The students concentrated on the technical goals: • Choose a few common D.J. music effects to focus upon and develop algorithms for the effects • Select a real-time Digital Signal Processing (DSP) platform to implement the effects. (Three sample evaluation boards were purchased before the beginning of the summer for the students to test, but in the end, none of these were used. The students found a better solution

focused consideration ofproblem identification and definition, and the potential impact of a successful solution.In addition to being better able to meet the needs of students, this new cornerstone course is nowmore attractive to faculty, who are encouraged to draw on their own research and experience inselecting a theme for their students. Although the EIC approach, like problem-based learning, designintegration and other techniques for linking theory and practice, is intended to counter theabstraction of technical knowledge and skills advocated by the ‘engineering science’ model ofengineering education, context integration is seen as a potentially more comprehensive and unifyingapproach.IntroductionIn response to dramatic changes in the
department’s initial course design: “The senior project is intended to be a culminating scholastic effort or capstone experience. The objectives are to refine skills in communication, research and information retrieval, critical analysis and criticism, and to demonstrate technical competence in each student’s area of study. The senior project is evidence of potential for outstanding performance at the advanced level and is characterized by experimental, theoretical, or developmental work leading to meaningful results presented as a final paper and oral report at the end of the semester.” 5This definition was created as a baseline for gathering attitudinal data concerning senior projectperceptions from three

However, research on the effect of engineering education onthe development of empathy is virtually nonexistent, and even studies linking empathy toinnovation outcomes are rare. This study takes a first step towards evidence-based practice bydemonstrating that graduate students’ self-reported empathy (as measured by perspective takingtendencies) as well as their innovation self-efficacy (as measured by confidence in design

To providethis breadth of expertise, BME programs typically include coursework in cell and molecularbiology, physiology, biomaterials, bioinstrumentation (including signals and systems, circuits,and biomedical imaging analysis), biomechanics, transport phenomena, and
graduate teaching assistants. Since 2000, LabWrite materials havebeen piloted in institutions ranging from Research I universities to community colleges. Ourexperiences and research have demonstrated the importance of lab reports in undergraduateeducation but have also pointed up the difficulties in successfully integrating lab reports backinto courses.IntroductionCommunicating scientific, engineering, and technical knowledge with clarity and understandingis a critical skill all future engineers need to have. To be able to do so is a literacy benchmarkinstructors strive to have all undergraduate and graduate engineering students meet. Perhaps themost important means for developing this literacy is the writing of lab reports. However, labreports
relationship is different [7]. A healthy ecosystem, in our framework, is one inwhich everyone is valued and supported according to their own individual needs. These needsare greatly impacted by systems of social oppression, which disproportionately affect ourstudents. We also recognize that these systems of oppression are active within the universityitself, and even within our own classrooms. To build STEM educational systems that prioritizeequity and justice, we require the development of the critical consciousness [see 8] necessary forfaculty to begin to understand how systems of oppression are reproduced, albeit oftenunintentionally, within their own classrooms. To this end, the Eco-STEM project has developedCommunities of Practice for faculty and

Integrating cost projectionsthroughout the phases of project development are critical for the construction team to achieve acompleted project within the realm of the Owner’s budget.Integrating Cost Projection into Architectural Design Instruction Design requires thought and skill, but the ability of designing within budgetary restraints is astrategic successful outcome for a design professional and should be taught to students accord-ingly.

deliverables:(1) a “research sequence” consisting of a rhetorical analysis, an annotated bibliography, and aliterature review, (2) a humanities assignment in which students explore the impact oftechnology on societal needs, and (3) laboratory and design reports stemming from the projects.In many cases, there are two grades associated with a design project- one for the report and onefor the “technical merit” of the design itself. For example, when a project on wind turbine design[6] was introduced into the course, 20% of the course grade was based upon how muchelectricity a student team’s turbine generated, and another 20% was based upon the final designreport associated with the project. (The other 60% was primarily based upon other major

There are two well-known modelsfor incorporating research experiences in a program: Undergraduate Research Experiences(UREs) and Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) [3]. UREs representthe apprentice model. They feature individual students in faculty research laboratories andprovide the opportunity for one-on-one mentoring. On the other hand, CUREs are embedded intothe curriculum and are available

Engineering Education, 2007 Developing Cognitive, Affective, Behavioral Work Sampling Methodologies to Assess Student Learning OutcomesAbstractIn this study, we develop and validate a work sampling methodology to assess processes thatengineers usually engage in (i.e., working in teams, conducting design work, addressing ethicalissues). To obtain in-depth measures for these process oriented student learning outcomes, 100percent behavioral observation is typically used, but which is time consuming and expensive.Work sampling is a common industry practice used to observe physical activities, as it minimizestime to collect data, yet provides statistically similar results relative to 100% behavioralobservation.
