The courseformat in our department is flexible and usually involves readings, peer teaching evaluations, andclass discussion.

Several students reported that functioning as part of a team was a learningexperience on its own that prompted them to reflect on their own contribution to the prototypedesign and development and compare their share against that of the other team members. In anattempt to solve team-conflict and self-regulate, the students embraced soft skills: for somesharing equal amount of work was effective; for others, establishing individual member roles andaccountability was critical. Having learned to trust, the students tended to more frequentlydiscuss and review the content of the learning modules with their team members

student groups,” itfalls short of this claim. Beyond the vignette's loose interpretation of “real classroomexperiences,” the vignette allows for a shallow interpretation of the concepts of “funds ofknowledge" and "place-based education.” Moll et al (1992) describe “funds of knowledge” ascultural knowledge and aspects of a student's home life that students bring to classroom. Toclaim that this is present anywhere in this vignette seems to miss the mark. So then, what difference does it make whether Rick introduced the concept of “crushedcans” or not? Beyond the ethics of research, this case study matters because the entire argumentfor the relevance and importance of the “crushed can” metaphor rests on Rick himselfintroducing the concept. If

Getting students to appreciate the real-world societalrelevance as an integral part of design is often challenging. The World Energy Exercise, whichintegrates an interactive and state-of-the-art computer simulation with a role-playing exercise,opens a social and active learning pathway, which helps students connect their engineeringdesigns with real-world societal relevance. The exercise enables students to control variousenergy related policy levers that impact global climate change. One lever in

continuously interacting with thedifferent social and material aspects of their surroundings such that each mutually constitutes theother. For a community of practice to function, members need to mutually generate andappropriate a shared repertoire of ideas, commitments, values, ethics and memories. Thiscorresponds to earlier observations by Brown et. al14 that learning communities are “bound byintricate, socially constructed webs of belief, which are essential to understanding what they do”(p.33). The co-generation of these shared practices and purposes motivates members to developand use various resources such as tools, documents, routines, expectations, vocabulary or othersymbol systems. As these resources are continuously shared back and forth

Engineering Curriculum Abstract In addition to providing the technical expertise required to solve 21st century problems, theengineers of 2020 will be expected to adapt to a continuously evolving environment while oper-ating outside the limits of their discipline and remaining ethically grounded. Their undergraduatetraining must therefore be designed to nurture engineers to transcend traditional disciplinaryboundaries, and to communicate, transfer knowledge, and collaborate across technical and non-technical boundaries. One approach to this challenge is to incorporate biomimicry or bio-inspireddesign into the engineering curriculum.
