It is this general first-year environmentthat is of interest to us and that inspired this study.Our experiences with undergraduate general engineering education led us to identify computerprogramming tasks as a crucial component in one’s identity as an engineer and in deciding how toparticipate in group projects. Anecdotaly we have observed that students who do not believe theyhave strong programming skills do not believe they can contribute to programming aspects of aproject. As a result, the programming falls on the group member who identifies as a strongprogrammer. This is despite

Organizations recognize the importance for employees tounderstand how to work effectively with others, but also express that new employees do notbring adequate teaming skills to the workplace (S.

Despite calls to promote teamwork as “an indispensable quality forengineering”(Lingard & Barkataki, 2011) engineering schools have been generally slow indeveloping pedagogies that successfully promote collaborative behaviors. Several initiativeshave been done in engineering education -like project-based learning and team-basedlearning to try to promote teamwork skills (Felder & Brent, 2009; Prince, 2004). However

usefuland effective means of making learning targets clear to students, while providing teachers with anefficient and objective means of conducting evaluations of student work. Their value to studentsand teachers of engineering design is evidenced by the many examples of rubrics addressing thisaspect of engineering available online. One single site alone, http://www.rcampus.com/indexrubric.cfm, turns up hundreds under the key phrase “engineering design process”. The belief in the capacity of a rubric to provide a common language and set of expectationshas recently informed a promising new practice—the shared use of an engineering design processrubric by students engaged in innovative projects and practicing professionals and college facultywho
Novel Collaboration between Engineering and Geosciences to Design a Green Power Station for Field Camp: A Case StudyAbstractOne of the Department of Systems Engineering’s capstone projects was to design a portablesustainable power generation unit to support the Department of Earth Sciences’ Geology FieldCamp. The team of electrical and mechanical engineering students worked with the faculty ofEarth Sciences to develop specifications. The design had to fit within the existing trailer withoutmajor modifications to the trailer. The final design housed the battery pack in a tongue-mountedbox on the trailer with water proof outlets to charge devices. Four solar panels were connectedthrough keyed connectors to the box to work
Johns Hopkins University Department of Biomedical EngineeringFreshmen enrolled in Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University start their academiccareer with “Modeling and Design”, a two-credit course developed to immerse our freshmen intorealistic challenges on day one. Rather than introduce our students to biomedical engineeringthrough lectures, freshmen learn by working in teams of five on modeling and design projectsduring their first semester. The freshmen projects are open ended, providing students with theopportunity to brainstorm many possible solutions, design their own experimental protocols,perform those experiments in lab, and present the results collectively as a team. These projectsincorporate written reports, oral

Coursesmulti-disciplinary integration of their designs due to the isolated nature of topics in the classroom(Andersen et al. 2007; ASCE 2008). For students to become more multidisciplinary in nature, studentsneed to learn how real project teams interact and how they coordinate designs while maintainingtechnical execution. This combination of skills remains an area of study within engineering educationthat still is in need of further development and refinement for different majors (McNair et al. 2011).In looking at Tomek’s (2011) work, it was paramount to distill in the students the understanding ofroles, responsibilities, and the integration of the various disciplines.
