Bio-inspired Design Using C-K TheoryIntroductionThe engineer of 2020 is expected to not only offer technical ingenuity but also adapt to acontinuously evolving environment. The ability to operate outside the narrow limits of onediscipline and be ethically grounded in solving the complex problems of the future will also beneeded. To address the competencies of the future engineer, undergraduate education must trainstudents to not only solve engineering challenges that transcend disciplinary boundaries, but alsocommunicate, transfer knowledge, and collaborate across technical and non-technical boundaries.One approach to train engineers in these competencies is teaching biomimicry or bio-inspireddesign in an engineering curriculum, which offers

A long-term design project that integrates knowledge from multiple courses strengthens student knowledge retention. 2. A large-scale design project requiring tools from many courses improves student problem-solving and design skills.By integrating five semesters of the mechanical engineering curriculum into a cohesive whole,this project has the potential to transform the way undergraduate education is delivered. Beforeand after testing is being conducted to assess: a) Change in retention between courses and b)Change in student problem-solving and design skills.The centerpiece of the hybrid powertrain is the planetary gearset, which combines

Broad-scaleresearch on faculty incorporation of diversity-oriented activities into the curriculum has foundthat even when faculty believe that diversity in a classroom leads to better learning outcomes,belief doesn’t necessarily translate into teaching practices that include diversity-orientedmaterials [4]. However, departmental support is important in integrating diversity into thecurriculum, as faculty who believed their departments emphasized the importance of diversity intheir field and supported the integration of diversity-related content into their courses were morelikely to do so [4], and were more likely to be

Given the reason for at-risk status at the University ofPortland, the STEP Retention Program is primarily designed to help students catch upacademically with the traditional cohort that is on track to graduate in four years. This emphasison academic integration is based on the hypothesis that at an institution such as the University ofPortland (private with a high financial need student body and financial aid limited to eightsemesters), persistence in the major is primarily driven by the perceived ability to graduate infour years.In addition to the main focus on

The model town, dubbed“Disasterville”, includes buildings made of blocks, toy cars, and figurines of people. Studentscannot directly see the town; Disasterville is hidden from them by an intervening “mountainrange” (a plastic tarp over some chairs). Students must fly their UAV over

While both myRIO and microcontrollers are embeddedplatforms, they are applied in quite different contexts. The myRIO is a packaged embeddedsystem that uses a graphical programming language that does not require students to know howto program in a traditional language. Microcontrollers require users to know how to program andhow to do more detailed hardware integration. As a result of these distinctions, they are useddifferently in projects and their targeted audiences are unique. The myRIO is a second-generation version of the CRIO, which was

IntroductionWhat role should mathematics play in an engineering student’s education? A typical engineeringundergraduate takes a five-semester course sequence of Calculus I, Calculus II, Calculus III,Linear Algebra and Differential equations (henceforth known as the calculus sequence). Thissequence forms a rigid prerequisite structure for many engineering curricula. A single failinggrade in one of these prerequisite courses can prevent a student from being able to progress intotheir engineering curriculum. Students may have to substantially delay graduation

The framework upon which projectactivities were built is the Qualifying Qualitative Research Quality (Q3) framework pioneered byWalther, et al. [20]. This framework presents qualitative research quality as an essential andcontext-sensitive consideration in every aspect of a study’s design, rather than as a series ofspecific strategies that can be added to a research design to increase quality [20, 21].
