detached from such a situation. We intentionally developed activities thatchallenge students’ thoughts and beliefs, so they connect their actions as students to their lives asworking professionals.We first examine ethics on a global scale by considering engineers’ roles in promoting globalhealth and wellbeing through sustainability. Students learn about green design andmanufacturing strategies through assigned readings, a video on cradle-to-cradle design, andgameplay. Students play the In the Loop ® board game, which teaches players about the finiteresources necessary for devices such as LCD screens, MRI machines, and wind turbines [1].Throughout the game, players develop strategies to manage limited resources using circulareconomies.

In literature theyhave been shown to be an essential tool for (1) reflection, (2) documentation of the designprocess, (3) historical archive, (4) course grade, (5) incidental writing tool, and (6) instantassessment of course for instructor. The use of design notebooks as indicators of studentparticipation in team activities has been investigated.1 It was demonstrated that design notebooksare a good indicator of teamwork practices. Design notebooks have also been used to trackstudents’ cognitive patterns in engineering design.2 Well formulated design notebooks have been shown to have pedagogical and cognitivebenefits 3. To reap these benefits however, it is very important to teach the students how tocomplete an effective design

Home schooling is a growing trend in the United States and it is estimated thattwo million American children are home schooled each year with this number increasing by 15-20% per year1. The students’ progress in this program was measured through specific reflectionquestions, as well as observations and reflections by the TWT facilitators and the cooperatinghome school representative and the parents of the home schooled students.The Toying With TechnologySM ProgramThe Toying With TechnologySM Program at Iowa State University has been reported on manytimes in the literature2-7.

Based on their learning preference questionnaires, students were placed in diverseteams of three to four with the intention of generating a sense of community and promotingcreative thinking. Each mini-project was comprised of both open-ended and well-defined non-trivial analytical questions that addressed contemporary energy-related challenges. Teams werealso expected to reflect on energy options for the future and interpret the United NationsSustainable Development Goals. To promote accountability and critical evaluation, teams peer-reviewed one another’s mini-projects. This study uses data from participant questionnaires (n = 77) to analyze the efficacy ofusing mini

In particular, smooth and flat,reflective features such as the touchscreen are especially challenging to capture digitally from thephysical object.Our initial method for creating high fidelity scans was 3D scanning (Figure 6a). Scanning can beused to create life-sized 3D models that include realistic colors and textures. However, thescanner we had access to, the Sense 2 from 3D Systems, struggled to retain tracking on the flatsurfaces of the tablet components. The resolution produced by the scanner was also lacking.When 3D scanning was unsuccessful, we pivoted to photogrammetry.

It requires that we be aware of any constraints that limit our ability to practice these inclusive principles and to reflect on how we can improve the overall learning experience for ALL students. a.

Newly enrolled doctoral candidates were asked to explain ‘why a PhD’ usingLEGO® pieces to help them express beyond words, with constructions, through similes andmetaphors. The use of LEGO® was intentional for two reasons: it gave them a visual andkinesthetic outlet for enhancing and deepening their reflections and message; and it put themat ease, in ‘play mode’, which allowed them to access aspects of their psyche not typicallyexploited in technical conversations. They constructed stories, created characters, andproduced metaphors to channel and express what their motivations, drives and purpose were.The most common types of metaphors used were visual, ontological and spatially related.Their

They also examine case studies of (successful and unsuccessful) biomedical device design,learn about healthcare innovation systems, and reflect on key challenges and best practices forbiomedical engineering design.Over 3 consecutive semesters, our students have developed a variety

Additionally, one graduate student,not responsible for an example video, also performed an assessment of the videos. Finally, thestudents were required to provide guided self-reflections on their communication skills after theyhad completed their videos and performed and received peer reviews. It has been wellestablished that having students reflect on their own learning can enhance the learning process[6].
