. Julie P Martin, Clemson University Julie P. Martin, Ph.D. is an associate professor of Engineering and Science Education at Clemson Univer- sity. Her research agenda has focused on diversity and inclusion in engineering education. In particular, her NSF-funded CAREER work has investigated how social relations—operationalized as social capi- tal—influence student academic decisions and success, especially for underrepresented and underserved students. Her CAREER research supports the need for continued proactive outreach, educational and support systems that have the potential to form ”resource-rich” networks in which students receive infor- mation and resources in routine exchanges.

To provide the best learning experience for our students and totake advantage of the MakerSpace (a new facility that was recently set up in SCUPI), the idea ofa SCUPI Derby, which was modeled after the well-known US Boy Scouts’ Pinewood Derby [1],was assigned to our students as the final project. What is different from the Pinewood Derby isthat the model car of our project would be made from 3D printing instead of elaborating on apinewood block. To prepare our students for this challenging task, SolidWorks has been used asthe main design tool. Not only the concept of concurrent engineering was introduced in the earlystage of the class, but also the technology

At the end of term, they produce an elevator pitch video andconduct a technical design review (TDR). The final lesson about responding to a failed pitch canhelp students move forward using the critiques from their TDR and video pitch.The contributions of this paper include (1) illustration of active learning exercises developed forteam-based, in-class activities to support the online content, and (2) development
