(p20)between the two groups16.As stated, the goal of this study was to make a first step in developing a derivative instrument fortracking student growth, beginning with first-year students. The authors attempted to minimizemodifications to the EAO component of the instrument to test the underlying assumptions,structures, and constructs as faithfully as possible. However, it was necessary to makemodifications to some instrument items to better align them to the experiences of students. Themodifications generally re-situated items away from business and professionally drivenexperiences to project and academic focused experiences and situations. This does present somerisk in aligning results from the original EAO instrument with the modified

Spinoza’s call for caution. Reason became a tool in the grip of evil. Here in the United States, President Truman either was unaware or ignored the pleas of O.C.Brewster, a talented engineer, who as a condition for working on the Manhattan Project hadreceived written assurance from Franklin Roosevelt that a demonstration nuclear bomb would bedropped first—as a warning—before actual use against a city. A petition18 from Leo Szilard,physicist, signed by 70 colleagues, had recommended a hold on atomic weaponry, but this wasignored by Secretary of War Henry Stimson, who said: “I think the bomb instead constitutesmerely a first step in a new control by man over the forces of nature too revolutionary anddangerous to fit into old concepts.” In fact

This, in turn, increases the potential for generating adesign solution that best meets a problem’s given constraints.The importance of ideation within the engineering design process is recognized equally in bothacademic and industrial settings9. The collaborative nature of engineering design is also well-established,9 with individuals of different personalities, technical backgrounds, and levels ofexperience coming together to meet shared design objectives. Following this real-world practice,engineering educators routinely put students in design teams to complete both simple andcomplex projects. However, in many cases, they do not consider the cognitive diversity amongthe students in

The expert panel reviewed items using a modifiedDelphi-process, while student input and performance on the existing concept inventory wereused to validate outcomes from the expert panel. Results generally concurred that topics relatedto fluid statics, pressure measurement, conservation of mass, Bernoulli’s equation, andconservation of momentum were important for civil engineers. In contrast, compressible flowand boundary effects were generally classified as

To this end,the use of rubrics can be very worthwhile for both the students and the instructor. As Spurlin hasindicated and modeled, the use of carefully crafted rubrics can be a useful way to demonstratethat students have met the criterion whether the communication is through either written or oralform3. In addition, the use of a carefully crafted rubric can help reduce the overall time neededto grade a

To start class, Wylie would ask theclass about each comic, “What is this author’s message?”, “How do you know?”, “Why is itfunny? Or why is it not funny?”. She was surprised at the variety of interpretations, whichthankfully made for interesting discussions and even debates about a cartoon’s meaning.

project products yielded similar findings: students who spent more effort onproblem scoping (i.e., gathering and synthesizing information to better understand a problem ordesign idea) tended to score higher in terms of client satisfaction [14]. These findings suggestboth the importance of problem scoping and the need for some focus on problem scoping inundergraduate education.While problem scoping is often associated with the beginning of a design process, problemscoping can occur throughout the design process. Several researchers have described design as aprocess where designer’s problem space (i.e., set of ideas about and understanding of theproblem) and solution space (i.e., the set of possible solutions and details about the possiblesolutions

In all, we intend from the findings of this study to generate a set of principles thatteachers can consider when they are creating learning environments in which their studentsengage in engineering. Teachers might engage students in socially-situated activities that aresimilar in purpose to those of engineers. Within this context, they can provide their students withdevelopmentally-appropriate genres that are similar to those engineers read; and they can modelfor their students how to evaluate those genres like engineers evaluate texts. On a pragmaticlevel, ultimately, we also intend for this project to result in instructional materials, including setsof texts for students and guiding teachers’ materials (e.g., discussion prompts) that might
