activity utilized the students’ newly gained knowledge ofthe campus and the GPS mapping tools (and their limitations), to develop a creative map graphic.Lab Period: •   Submit project report, from activity in the first two weeks •   Each team to hold a brainstorming session to discuss and select the route/graphic to be walked and recorded for presentation. Each team to also develop a safety plan, for approval before setting out. Particularly challenging for walking the route, was that the GPS signal would often be lost whilst indoors so that the mapped route would have jumps, and degrade the graphic quality. Another challenge for students was maintaining the correct path whilst walking. Both of these challenges

the large project, which I only dislike because it is a different type of learning than I’m used to. Even though it is difficult, I appreciate that I’m being pushed outside of my comfort zone. I would change the process just a little to be more structured at the beginning and have a place with examples of how and [sic] experiment should be planned and run. It was challenging because we had to trouble-shoot on our own, we had to figure out how fix the issues on our own, and I think that was the most challenging. This is not like anything we have experienced in any of our classes. Usually if there is a problem, somebody tells you how to fix it. Here we had to figure things out on our own

Advancing Engineering Education through Technology Driven Teaching InnovationsAbstractWith the proliferation of technologies that are able to overcome the obstacles of time and space,it is inevitable that change would transform and reshape the traditional ways of doing things. Inhigher education, the impact of educational technologies and their potential to enhance theteaching and learning experiences as well as improve learning outcomes is yet to be felt in anytangible way. This is mainly attributed to the lack of motivation by faculty to utilize newtechnologies in their classrooms. To further motivate faculty to introduce and integrate digitaltechnologies into the classroom as teaching aids, a comprehensive plan was

In addition, a graduatestudent in human-centered design was present in each of the classes as well as in planningsessions with the instructors to observe and offer additional support. As the course also aimed toget students to engage in cross-disciplinary discussions, it was critical to offer a variety ofperspectives and areas of expertise. As such, the instructors created a list of guest speakers toperiodically visit class. These guests included representation from industry (strategy planning,user experience, design, marketing) as well as other departments (industrial design, business,library science).To help move through the design process
