This new teaching approach can improve the effectiveness ofengineering education. Introducing new teaching approaches is always a challenging task andhas been explored using various tactics, and the detailed work is published in the peer reviewedjournals and proceedings8-13. For experiential energy innovation team project, we selectedmagnetism and its application to generate electricity via an innovative approach.

engineering student’s education in managing uncertainty in designdecisions. Our proposition is that while engineering education has advocated designmethodologies that indirectly address uncertainty and teamwork, such as the human-centereddesign approach [12, 13] and project-based service learning [14, 15], we may find a more directapproach to design, uncertainty, and teamwork outside of the engineering discipline.Research Methodology and Description of DataWe employ constructivism as the theoretical framework to explore our research question.Typically in constructivism, we consider the foundational questions “How have the people in thissetting constructed reality?

In addition,each professor selects his/her own topic and adds specific student learning outcomes to thecommon outcomes that are related to his/her area of disciplinary expertise. The sections of thecourse that serve as the foundation for the work presented in this paper are taught by facultymembers in chemical engineering, civil engineering, and mechanical engineering.The authors are motivated by a desire to understand how the different approaches faculty used inthis introductory course impact student learning.

Ultimately, the larger studyseeks to understand the impact various decisions made regarding FYE have on community andidentity development as student move through multiple pathways. The baseline survey will guidethe development of future aspects of this project while providing insights about FYE students’communities and views of themselves.IntroductionOver the last several years, there have been calls for changes to engineering education in order toensure that

Moore et al. reported on some of the challenges that students andinstructors encounter when using blank engineering notebooks, including confusion about whatshould go in the notebook, uncertainty about the purpose for keeping a design notebook, notseeing the value in careful documentation of design work, and a reluctance to engage inreflection of their design process [5]. The structured engineering design notebook described inthis paper can help support students as they build expertise in

A subjective rubric has beenreplaced with a transparent, straightforward, binary check sheet rubric.Another signature assignment in the course is a team-based design challenge. Evaluation ofstudent performance was difficult and subjective. Through continuous improvement built onstudent feedback we developed a transparent method of evaluating the design challenge.
