Paper ID #19305Systematically Integrating Liberal Education in a Transdisciplinary DesignStudio EnvironmentDr. Marisa Exter, Purdue University Marisa Exter is an Assistant Professor of Learning Design and Technology in the College of Education at Purdue University. Dr. Exter’s research aims to provide recommendations to improve or enhance university-level design and technology programs (such as Instructional Design, Computer Science, and Engineering). Some of her previous research has focused on software designers’ formal and non-formal educational experiences and use of precedent materials, and experienced instructional

senior year, encountered mostly non-open-ended problems, with predominantly pre-defined, closed-form solution sets. Even more challenging for the industrial engineering population is thatthey tend to crave order, processes, lists, and procedures, either by self-selection into the major or throughinculcation. Once they arrive at capstone, they are commissioned to solve problems that don’t have anexplicit algorithm, list, or established process to solve them.Due to the real-world nature of senior capstone, in effect the students receive a blank sheet of paper,hearing “go figure out what the problem is –and solve it”. In addition to this, there are some sponsorswho may not respond very quickly, or change their minds, or receive the initial data and

This study explored the extent to which acombination of activities developed with the learning and developmental needs of earlyelementary ELLs in mind. We integrated routines for academic conversations into hands-onliteracy and engineering-centered inquiry activities. The analysis revealed significant results withlow to moderate effect sizes. These results provide preliminary evidence of the impact of

Forinstance, in such research conducted in an elementary school, we see how students are able toidentify and frame engineering problems in their own school that affect the students, and alsothat even young students can make predictions and plan testing of their prototypes when they aredesigning with contexts they understand in mind [76].
