merits of the Doctor of Engineering in Engineering degree,and its purpose in training engineers to become professional managers in a technical field.Program HistoryThe Doctor of Engineering degree program was created in the mid-1980’s as the college’s firstprofessional doctoral degree. It went through administrative revisions in the late 1980’s to becomethe program it is today. There were very few professional doctoral programs in the country at thattime. Most of the interest in professional degrees was at the master’s level. It is important to note,as well, that the title of the degree does not have the same meaning at all institutions and in allcountries. Some use the Doctor of Engineering title for a research-based engineering

provides some information to explain thesituation, generalization of the data needs more study and over a longer period of time. In addition,some confounding factors such as evaluation methods and the skills of the teaching professors shouldbe carefully investigated. The next stages of this study will include the comparison of grades in othercourses taken in the department and outside for both groups. In addition, categorizing the transferringof students based on their previous major may reveal more correlations.ReferencesAustin, A. M., & Gustafson, L. (2006).

project they proposed) if and only if a team is selected for that project. However, if their project isn’t selected, that student will then be assigned to another project using their list of choices. This is necessary since it’s not uncommon for the most popular project to have more than twice as many 1st choices as the maximum team size and thus there is an increased chance that the student(s) who proposed the project will not be assigned to that team.Data is gathered with a student interest survey given using Canvas, a learning managementsystem. A minimum of five questions are asked requesting the student to choose their first,second, third, etc. choice. Additional questions can be asked if certain projects require

As an alternative and/or supplement, asynchronous labs have been developed [4] toallow for the hands-on experience while maintaining the flexibility and low-cost of doing soexternal to a traditional lab.However, instruction through longer-term projects, which span multiple lab sessions versusindividual labs, is quite advantageous because it is similar to how the engineering professionfunctions in industry [5].

balls.Engineering design in scientific inquiryThe class was oriented towards developing a scientific model; our task was to explain, or model,the energy in the Gaussian Gun system. As instructor, there was no explicit requirement thatstudents produce any artifact or engage in design as part of the work. That is, our focus as a classwas in developing a scientific explanation. The design was emergent from this, rather than arequirement in itself for the course.Based on the above work that the students did, we pose the following questions regarding designin scientific inquiry: 1. For each group, how did their particular design challenges emerge? 2. What role did their designed artifact(s) play in their inquiry? 3. In what ways did their design mirror
