Baxter Magolda’s prior interview protocol11. Interviewquestions were asked to introduce different topics, such as role of learners, role ofadvisors/professors, etc. The advantage of this protocol was that it provided a scope of topicwithout framing the response. Sample questions are shown as follows: -Now, think about yourself as a learner in the classroom, in a research group, or in a project team. What role do you play, what method do you use, to make learning more effective for you? -As you think about your instructors, professors, advisor(s), what role do you think they have played that made you learn effectively?Data AnalysisAll sixteen interviews were transcribed. After the transcription, transcripts were revised where

of sustainability, based on the above responses, is presented in this paper.The framework introduces students to the various conceptual tools that they will use to understand theenvironmental consequences of different inputs that go into manufacturing. Then these identified concepts areproperly distributed within the various courses on manufacturing science, manufacturing operations, andmanufacturing design. The framework is deliberately kept open so that schools that are so interested canfurther adjust the structure to develop a curriculum that is better suited to their available resources.

and practitioners. In order to improve its globalcompetitiveness, the United States must grow its science, technology, engineering andmathematics (STEM) workforce. Although the engineering sector has grown in past years, in2012, engineers comprised only 1.2% of the U. S. workforce.18 The U. S. Department of Laborforecasts growth in workforce needs among all of the major engineering disciplines (chemical,civil, electrical, industrial and mechanical); however, the projected demand for civil engineers isfar greater compared to the other disciplines (Table 1). 19 This is largely due to the need for civilengineers to address issues related to the country’s aging infrastructure and to the design anddevelopment of new infrastructure needed to

For example, a student might first learn aboutdata converters as a freshman, and interface A/D and D/A converter ICs with a simple digitalcircuit in an introductory digital systems class. As a sophomore, (s)he might use operationalamplifiers and comparators to construct some basic A/D and D/A circuit topologies (e.g. flashand single-slope converters) in a laboratory course. Later, as a junior (s)he might build a current-summing D/A converter using MOS and bipolar transistors. In each case, the CubeSat programwould provide a pedagogical framework as the student learns about data converters in a “topdown” manner, with relevant documentation serving to reinforce the presentation in
