), and habitual curiosity, a drive to understand how things workand how to make them work better3. Thinking patterns derived from effectual logic canstrengthen an entrepreneurial mindset by helping students leverage current knowledge resourcesand move through uncertainty by developing connections with other people and information inthe pursuit of value creation10. Common learning outcomes that demonstrate entrepreneurialknowledge include opportunity recognition, design iteration and prototyping, projectmanagement, strategic and financial planning, communication and presentation, leadership andethics3.Maker MovementThe Maker Movement in education is broadly characterized by three components – making as aset of activities, makerspaces as
graduates to meet evolving demands of the buildingsector and societal expectations for the built environment.The entire process included three critical phases, aided by strong industry consultation: - Validation of need for architectural engineers - Definition of skills and competencies - Rubric design & curriculum mappingOver the course of the program’s development, industry input and engagement was sought andsecured through surveys, interviews, and half-day workshops. The end state was thedevelopment of an Industry Advisory Panel, whose members are now fully engaged in thecurriculum content and delivery, with scheduled plans on collaborative projects, site visits, andinternships. Historically, industry engagement in engineering

At Purdue, Benhart also leads the Healthcare Construction Management program and works with the first ASHE (American Society of Healthcare Engineering) student chapter. His position allows him to further develop construction education in the built environment and be an in- dustry advocate for the next generation of builders. He is also very involved in field supervision training programs, both at Purdue and on the national level. He focuses on the sustainability of our industry by mentoring the retiring baby boomers with new foremen
the lab facilities for machining,joining and 3D printing are available to the students, although few students carry fabrication attheir own facilities.Course Learning Objectives (CLOs): The CLOs for this course are listed as follows. 1. Creative thinking in design: Students will be able to brainstorm and think creatively both individually and collectively as a group, to achieve alternate design solutions. 2. Teamwork and communication skills: Students will be able to form and work in teams to effectively communicate their ideas and design alternatives in written and oral formats. 3. Project planning and management: Student will be able to use project-planning tools to plan tasks, timing and coordinate design activities
as planned. The participants listen to the leaders andto the best of their abilities, follow the instructions. The idea is that the leaders explain the rulesclearly, show how to use the equipment as necessary, and lead the game. One crucial task of theteam in this step is to inspire students to find alternative solutions and try these solutions in thesystem. The student team leaders need to observe and record patterns of behavior, changes in thesystems, results, and outcomes.Step 3. Debrief the HODA.The student team is responsible for leading the debriefing part at the end of the activity. Studentsshare their observations, thoughts, and comments about the game.

We present a series of case studies and focus groups from our college toillustrate the benefits afforded by a balanced view of the curriculum. For instance, multipleconcentrations can be compared based on how spread they are across the curriculum and howmany inter-concentration dependencies they have. Mismatches between curriculum designers’expectations and students’ pathways through the curriculum can also be identified, such ascurricular violations, where a course is taken very close to or before its own prerequisites.

chats asked exactly where the noise was located, he was ableto identify areas where loud spaces (such as the bathrooms, elevators, and group study rooms)abut quiet zones as the most problematic spaces [6]. Drexel University aimed to solve noise andbehavior issues in the library by installing a Courtesy Clerk, a full time staff member whomaintains a “safe, pleasant, and courteous atmosphere in the library” [7]. Most academic libraries with noise issues are also facing space and design challenges.One of the more common problems occurred as libraries shifted to function primarily as studyspaces, or were rebranded as “learning commons,” with open floor plans and fewer—ornonexistent—book stacks [8].

reasonable level of familiarity with a concept. At this level, the engineer is familiar with an idea, but lacks the knowledge to specify and procure solutions without additional expertise. For example, an engineer might recognize that a particular architectural plan poses significant construction difficulties without having the expertise to devise improved construction or design alternatives. Level 2 (Understanding) implies a thorough mental grasp and comprehension of a concept or topic. Understanding typically requires more than abstract knowledge. For example, an engineer with an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility should be able to identify and to

ASEE Annual Conference 2018Introduction:Research Data Management (RDM) is an important competency that is beneficial for graduateand undergraduate students across the disciplines. Not only are many funding agencies requiringa Data Management Plan (DMP) for new grant proposals [1,2,3,4], there is also a shift towarddata driven research, data driven analyses, data visualization and new distributed computationalsystems that use “big data”. One piece of data management is metadata and the problems thatinsufficient or bad
others.IntroductionAs four-year colleges and universities, as well as publicly funded libraries and privatecompanies, continue creating or expanding their makerspaces, community colleges have begunthis process as well. Two very big differences however, are that community colleges typicallyhave extremely limited funding and their students and faculty are often very different comparedto those at universities.Because of the differences inherent to community colleges, the limited information that isavailable for reference may not be directly applicable to those in the community colleges whoare considering or planning the creation of a makerspace. While more papers related touniversity makerspaces are getting published compared to just five years ago, there is

component is to prepare the Scholars for successful acquisition of an internship and eventually a full-time position. It also provides the Scholars with an opportunity to begin establishing a network, understand the components of a high- quality resume and online professional profile, and evaluate internship opportunities. By participating in this activity prior to entering college, the Scholars are expected to be able to start planning a career path during their first year. A total of three one-hour sessions are scheduled during the two-week program, and are facilitated by professional staff from the university career center. 3.2.

microcontroller,breadboard, wires, and some commonly used sensors. Supplemental common materials andsensors were available upon request. Students used their stipend to order all other materials, butrestrictions such as deadlines for orders were put on the purchases. The students were tasked with writing a report to describe their semester plan for theirproject with a schedule, cost estimates, and initial design ideas as an initial deliverable for theproject. While this report is completed by the third week of class and a lot of their initial plan issubject to change, it acted as an initial layout of their project.

Grintner Report, the applied,practical approach to engineering education that nurtured young innovators was replaced by amore theoretical approach6. This theoretical approach was fitting for a time when engineeringcorporations were large and sought workers to simply execute their plans. However, society isnow characterized by organizations that generate wealth from the innovations of their workers7.Indeed, employers seek graduates that can apply their knowledge, have the ability to innovate,can communicate effectively, work in teams and understand contexts and constraints8,9, all skillstypically addressed by entrepreneurship education. Such skills also prepare students to start theirown companies based on their own innovations10, which also serves
