For each scenario, the authors provided the teams with a mission document thatdefined the problem and established objectives for the scenario. In all scenarios, the objectivewas to maximize net income for the firm. As the course progressed, the scenarios became morecomplex with added decision-making variables. Figure 2. The Simulation Learning ProcessWith the mission clearly defined, the student teams we required to develop a business plan thatincluded a projection of net income for the company during the simulation, which lasted for onesimulated

after spending 6-years as an Assistant Professor of Mechanical En- gineering at the University of Louisville (UofL). Bohm’s research examines the intersection of 3 distinct areas, engineering design, engineering education, and big data. Currently, Bohm has an active NSF grant under the Division of Undergraduate Education to examine the effects of systems modeling paradigms with respect to design outcomes and systems thinking and understanding. While at UofL, Bohm was primarily responsible for overseeing the Mechanical Engineering Department’s capstone design program. Prior to his position at UofL, Bohm was a visiting researcher at Oregon State University (OSU) after completing his PhD at the Missouri University of

dramatically, 96% were aware of the benefit of interdisciplinary capstone projects, butonly 56% incorporated them in engineering classes[9]. If educators are aware of superior teachingpractices, supported by experimental evidence, why are these practices not standard in engineeringprograms?In an additional survey by Besterfield-Sacre et al. faculty, department chairs, and deans wereindependently surveyed and asked in open-ended fashion to identify opportunities for facultyprofessional development and rewards, to improve the incorporation rate of identified student-centered instructional practices [10]. The researchers then grouped the responses into the formatof the Four Categories of Change Strategies model [18]. Interestingly, numerous responses

diversity education into first year is an obviousimmediately achievable goal, with many programs already incorporating some elements atpresent. Another obvious place to include a deep dive in diversity would be in courses on ethicsand professionalism, or in co-op and capstone experiences. Here lessons about diversity can bereadily applied in workplace contexts, and future employers can readily build on educationaloutcomes in industry training settings. Finally, we must seriously consider how to build diversityeducation into the engineering core courses. One easily implementable way to do this would beto identify and highlight achievers in the field who are members of diverse groups. Studentscould do this as an assignment initially, and profiles

hearing what [they] had to say and interacting with people’s opinions that differed from my own such as theirs. I recognize this is a major hindrance and flaw in myself, as I believe one of the great problems of our world today is not listening and hearing what others have to say, which often differ than our own opinions. By the end of our class, I gained a new respect for [named student] and [their] viewpoints. I believe that the T-Group has helped me to become a significantly more effective leader, in that I’m attempting to more fully consider everyone’s needs and working styles as the project goes on. It is nice to know that I can be influenced in positive ways like that. That could also explain why I have influence in the

affordances.My reactions. I enjoyed seeing what the students had chosen, and appreciated having 25readings with which to help them explore the field. I also really enjoyed having the studentscurate the readings and then reading what they choose--this helped me get up to date withreadings in my field and read in areas that are not my personal interest.1b. The student’s story.​ In this section, I (the student) share thoughts I documented about why Ihad chosen the papers that I chose. This reflection highlights my curation process – I mainlypicked papers that piqued my interest based on the subject. I connect the title of one paper to myexperiences as an undergraduate student on a senior capstone team. I connect the subject ofanother paper to my research
