The second category of project based teaching/learning tools is represented by courses offeredlater in the curriculum, such as senior/capstone design, directed and independent study courses.These courses allow students to work individually or in groups on a particular project where theycan apply some of the skills acquired in classrooms to solve a particular problem. Similar to thefirst category, the emphasis in these courses is on the design process and application of skillsrather than targeting a specific one and deepening its understanding and improving its masteryby the student. The third category encompasses extra-curricular project-based learning activities in the formof national

the engineering profession, cultivating an innovative spirit from an early age can be aformidable task. Project Lead The Way (PLTW), a program dedicated to transformative STEMteaching for K-12 students, focuses on skills relevant to innovation and entrepreneurship such asproblem-solving and critical thinking. The PLTW program, however, has a limited focus on thehumanities which is presumed to turn women and minoritized populations away from STEM [2].In university-level engineering programs, with the heavy technical curricular demands, inclusionof coursework dedicated to innovation and creativity may not always be perceived as logisticallypossible.

Forthe latter two aspects, defined in this work as the group dynamic, the most important factors forbuilding a sense of community are group pro-activity, cohesiveness, and attitude.IntroductionThe emerging call for future engineers with global-citizen mindsets asks for a re-evaluation ofcurrent educational experiences provided in higher education. In the U.S., participation in study-abroad programs for students majoring in engineering has increased more than 50% over the pastdecade [1].

. However, resources are limited for assessing students’ abilitiesto consider design from a broad perspective and to account for a design’s impact on itsstakeholders. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a rubric to assess how students perceiveand integrate stakeholders into the design of a complex system. Following a description of therubric and its development, this paper describes results from the initial application and evaluationof the rubric by a panel of faculty, graduate students, and research scientists, as they used therubric to assess aircraft design projects. This initial evaluation demonstrated the strengths of therubric (particularly with regards to validity) and how the reliability of the ratings among raterswas sensitive to the

America has become indifferent to energy issues and continues to pay the higherprices without much thought. This paper will begin by examining the state of the general publicconcerning energy and its lack of energy literacy. Most people have not begun to understand thecomplex nature of the energy challenge. Poor energy literacy led the authors to submit aproposal to a local foundation in 2006 to develop an “Energy Room” at the Mayborn Museum onthe Baylor University campus. The Mayborn Museum is a facility that “provides a widespectrum of learning opportunities to engage all types of visitors.” Baylor Universityengineering students worked on several projects

In thisresearch, third and fourth year undergraduate mechanical engineering students were guidedthrough the process of designing learning aid prototypes to be used in general engineeringeducation. Students were encouraged to use advanced technologies such as 3D printing and virtualsimulation to realize their concepts. This project assisted students in identifying their own andtypical misconceptions and devise tools which corrected those cognitive errors. A series of self-evaluation methods were used to identify the student’s perception of their decision-making skilllevels. Over the multiple categories of design decision-making skills

Although the process is practiced in manydifferent ways, depending on, for instance, company size and customer requirements, there aremany common elements. These need to be covered by University teaching to prepare studentsfor jobs in industry. This paper considers how students can be supported to make open, creativeand well informed decisions in several stages of the product development process.A teaching approach suitable for the product development process is described and investigated.The pedagogic context of the approach is project based learning in small student groups withshort regular meetings with an instructor for consultation and supervision

Another way to provide communication instruction in the technical classroomarises when student projects are sponsored by industry. Here, the industrial sponsor receiveswritten and oral reports and suggests modifications to the students based on experience with thenorms of communication in a particular field 6,7,8. Unfortunately, these approaches to communication instruction do not solve theintegration problem so much as they reproduce it. When technical students are sent to consultwith writing center tutors, for example, that tutor may be placed at an information disadvantageand may deliver writing instructions that are colored

basis. A common example of thisformat in the engineering curriculum is the assignment of teams to Capstone Design Projects [6],[7], [8]. Common issues include team formation, mentoring, feedback and evaluation,milestones, assessment, leadership, individual accountability, and team dysfunction.In contrast to larger team projects, the Problem Solving Studio (PSS) implemented at GeorgiaTech and Emory University [9], [10] has students working in pairs to solve “well-structured butsomewhat complex” problems during class time. A similar approach is found in “Process-Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning” (POGIL) [11], [12]. POGIL also uses instructor facilitatedteaming during class times.
