theirengineering identity formation. Students believed that engineers were individuals who had highlevels of technical competence and engaged in creative, real-world problem-solving. Studentsdiscussed how they struggled to see design thinking as a means to identifying as an engineerbecause, in their experiences, design thinking had not been clearly connected to otherengineering elements and creating creative real-world solutions. One student believed that thenewly integrated design thinking elements were “distracting” to the current curriculum: The reason why I so strongly feel that the design thinking component is distracting, from the lab or the course, is because everything that helped me grow as an engineer was already in place and

While educators are expected to beresponsible for developing ‘discovery, reasoning, and implementation skills’; theresearch community needs to focus on critically answering the question ‘how do youteach people to think entrepreneurially or develop an entrepreneurial mindset?’ [13]. Thefundamental step for determining effective pedagogical approaches and assessingengineering entrepreneurship education is building a coherent understanding ofentrepreneurial

Designatedby the U.S. Department of Education (DoEd) as a promising and practical strategy to increasepost-secondary success, PLTL is a model of instruction for introductory STEM courses thatintroduces a peer-led workshop as an integral part of the course. In PLTL, a student who waspreviously successful in the course is recruited to lead students in weekly workshops to problemsolve and discuss course content. PLTL is known for its ability to help minority students succeed[14, 15, 16]. As a Signature Practice, PLTL is used in introductory CS courses [17, 18, 19].CAHSI’s Fellow-Net [7] is a powerful strategy to

Upon placement of the fan blade on the motor(M1), and closure of the slide switch (S1), the fan spins and the lamp (L1) turns on. The light helpsprotect the motor from getting the full voltage when the slide switch is closed. A part of the voltagefrom the battery source drops across the lamp and the rest drops across the motor. The participantsremove the fan and notice how the lamp gets dimmer when the motor does not have to spin the fanblade. The parallel circuit using the lamp and fan is shown in Figure 14. In this connection, the lampdoes not change the current to the motor (M1). The motor starts a little faster than in the

On the contrary, the integrative orientation implies a personal involvement or desireto connect with the community that speaks the language, get access to its culture or evenbecome a member of the group. The former distinction is not supposed to be taken as amutually exclusive dichotomy since there is an element of instrumentality in the integrativeorientation [21] [22].

complicatedproblem of the two, a natural question to ask is why anyone would bother solving thesimpler problem analytically. This leads to a discussion of what information is availablefrom the analytical solution versus what is available from the numerical solution, theadvantages of an analytical solution, and under what circumstances one would seek anumerical solution. Finally, it leads to a point that is seldom appreciated when the threemain topics of this course are taught in a non-integrated manner - that the analyticalsolution of a simpler case can serve as a limiting case check of the numerical solution ofa more complex case. As simulations become more and more complex, students areencouraged to find ways to check their simulation results with
