backgrounds.” Additionally, Hora et al’s recent investigationof online internships suggests that remote interns are more likely to be upper- or middle-class,and those internships are more likely to be unpaid [14].The benefits of participation in internships or co-ops accrue both to students (in educationaloutcomes and personal development) and to institutions. Internships help build studentcapabilities and skills for capstone projects, and provide hands-on experience that may resonateespecially well with students who learn best experientially [15], [16]. Additionally, internshipsmay bolster student and mentor motivation, as well as the formation of an engineering identityfor participating students and student retention [2], [17]–[19]. Institutions
andcomplex problems,” can be achieved through educational practices, such as first-year seminars,learning communities, E-Portfolios, service learning courses, internships and capstone projects(7). Barriers that exist for integrative learning in higher education today often point to afragmented undergraduate curriculum (collections of independent classes in general education,specialized study, and electives) and the organization of knowledge into distinct and separatecolleges and departments, “even though scholarship, learning, and life have no such artificialboundaries” (p. 16) (7). Learning communities, capstone experiences, and service learningprojects can transcend these barriers by organizing around interdisciplinary themes, linkingcross
professional development skillsgoing forward.” In this module, students had the opportunity to investigate their own interests, todevelop their CVs, and to prototype a Compelling Academic Problem plan (which describes theirproposed major courses and a capstone project), as well as ample time for reflection.Finally, module 5, following spring break, provided space (across several two-week segments)for faculty and students to prototype new courses, to test existing ideas, and to get to know eachother in reading groups. Faculty used this time as an opportunity to work with students, forinstance, to develop the transition to major experience, to co-design a new arts core course and arevision to the Logic & Limitations core course, as well as to run
World Prosthetics, dedicated to creating low-cost prostheticand assistive devices [14]. It is an integral component of the recently implementeddevelopment engineering doctoral courses at UC-Berkeley [15]. Finally, the capstone course ofthe software engineering program at Lappeenranta University in Finland incorporates thedesign process structure [16]. In all cases, use of the design process has resulted in increasedstudent engagement. However, a closer look at these examples and others suggests that thedesign process is most commonly found in advanced undergraduate or graduate courses with asmall enrollment. Given this, we wondered to what extent the design process is transferable tointroductory courses that enroll close to two hundred students
decisions as we flipped our multi-sectionsophomore project-based design engineering course, Mechanical Engineering (ME 270). Ourcourse is part of the mechanical engineering department’s critical design course chain, whichalso includes a course on introduction to engineering graphics and two senior capstone designcourses (Mechanical Systems and Multidisciplinary). These critical design courses are “chained”together through prerequisites. ME 270 serves as the initial exposure to the application ofengineering design tools and methodologies, which are shared across the chain.In ME 270 students work in permanent design teams tasked with the creation of micro-economykits (projects) resulting in a working design prototype that promotes sustainability and
]. However, it isn’t clear exactly which part of multi-facetedmentoring and support programs results in this increase. Washington suggests mentorshipprograms develop and increase students’ social community, defined with attributes such asstudents’ connectedness, resilience, communities of practice, social capital, and satisfactionwhich all contribute to retention [10]. Career or industry mentoring programs are typically setup to provide undergraduatestudents workforce preparedness, soft-skill development, and/or career exploration [15,16].While many capstone or senior-design courses integrate industry connections, the industrymentor role typically looks more like a "client” or “advisor” role for the academic project[17,18].

learning.IntroductionIt has long been recognized that engineers need strong communication skills in addition to strongtechnical skills.1, 2 Engineers typically take a sequence of composition and rhetoric courses dur-ing the freshmen year. These courses are followed by other writing experiences more technical innature, including formal reports in laboratory courses and writing associated with the capstone de-sign experience. Many creative attempts have been made to improve writing frequency and qualityin academic programs. One example is the PITCH (Project to Integrate Technical Communica-tion Habits) initiative at the University of New Haven.3 The goal is to develop communicationskills (written, oral, and visual) and professional habits in engineering students

This collaboration began in the spring of 2003 with the laboratory for theMaterials Science course and now exists in the senior capstone design courses.For the Materials Science with Laboratory course, a supplemental COM course was offered inparallel to the lab in order to help students write and edit their lab reports. This served as aneffective means to help the students turn in better reports and also helped the faculty learn how tocollaborate between departments.

An example, “Fire Station Red” was namedto commemorate the capstone design project, designing a new campus fire station and “WallkillRaspberry Wheat” was named in honor of the Hydro course rafting trip on the Wallkill River.Other names have capitalize on engineering concepts, “Poisson’s Porter—Good in Every Way”or “Direct Stiffness Stout—Strong Enough to make you a Flexible Member”.

To address this issue, the participant’scompany implemented a six-month training program for recently graduated engineers. In terms of the mechanical engineering curriculum, the participant recommendedstructured capstone projects that ensure every group member becomes proficient in all phasesof the design process. For example, the participant noted that for hardware design projects,every student in a group must be involved in preliminary material search and documentation,creation of CAD drawings, alternative design production, and selection of the most cost-effective fabrication method for hardware

The seniors spend the yearworking on projects for external sponsors, and the writing is intended for such audiences.Reflections have also been used in the senior year to continue building on their writingknowledge and to prepare them for writing beyond the university.Literature ReviewReflection has long

’ perceptions of these notebooks.Types of engineering notebooksA brief review of the literature reveals that engineering notebooks can take many formsand be used for many purposes. For example, Tillema and Smith (2000)24 identified threedistinct types: 1. A dossier is a notebook or portfolio that is completed at the end of a project or course to “collect mandated documentation on performance. In this case, the portfolio construction is not necessarily based on a learning orientation” (p. 194)24. 2. A learning portfolio is a living document used to evaluate learning over the course of the project or semester. 3. A reflective portfolio is also a living document, in which the author records his or her
