cooperative, project-based integrative and interdisciplinary learning. Although aproposed AB program in engineering was neither successful nor sustained, this institutionalsensibility is still reflected in WPI practices at the course level (e.g. [13]) as well as larger-scaleinitiatives.Since the late-1960s moment at which boundary-transgressing programs like the WPI Plan andLafayette College’s AB in Engineering (which later became a program in Engineering Studies)curriculum were launched, disciplinary boundaries have remained strong, sometimes even beingfortified on campuses. Integrative activities flourished only on the margins of traditionaldisciplines, rarely offered much institutional nourishment or light (e.g. [7]). Even at HarveyMudd, the

. Mike’s research concerns how people think and learning, and specifically how technology can enhance the way people think and learn. His NSF-funded project, GEEWIS (http://www.geewis.uconn.edu/), focused on streaming real-time water quality pond data via the Internet and providing support for the integration of this authentic data into secondary and higher education science classrooms. His approach features the analysis of log files, ”dribble files,” that maintain time-stamped listing of navigation choices and lag time. This approach has been applied to hypertext reading (Spencer Foundation grant), videodisc-based prob- lem solving (Jasper project), and online navigation (Jason project). Recent work concerns playful
exercise. In addition to this theinstitute has invested significantly in simulations and software, which are hosted on the cloudand made accessible to all WILP students supplementing their practical experience. Theinstitute has also built physical labs hosting equipment that students can remotely access andwork with, while monitoring the process, via cameras mounted around the physical labequipment.Every program requires the students to undertake a capstone project from their place of workin the final semester, which is mentored by their organization supervisor and a faculty expert.This is periodically reviewed, assessed and graded. It is a required course for all theprograms.Assessments: The institute follows continuous assessment policy, which

Thisresult indicates that the lecture or case study should highlight the importance of ethical and socialresponsibility in engineering, particularly concerning sustainability and sustainable productdesign. Capstone project/machine design course is another excellent course to reinforce whatstudents learn at the entry level to solve real-world problems, enabling them to think holisticallyand consider the broader implications of their work.

Students’ projects fall into two categories:(1) a service learning type project which must in some way improve the quality of life of othersand involves a minimum of 15 hours of actual service; and (2) a guided, extensive visit of ananimal rescue society farm in which students confront animals typically used in biomedicalresearch projects and reflect on the entire experience.IntroductionBiomedical engineering is the application of engineering principles and techniques to medicine.It combines expertise in engineering with expertise in medicine and human biology to

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI): Helping women and underrepresented minorities feel identified and one with the program was at the heart of our RED project. The initial report from the project’s external evaluator revealed that some female students (anonymized) felt excluded and diminished, occasionally by faculty and staff and sometimes by classmates. Therefore, the program undertook several actions to address DEI in the four areas of change [2]-[6].4.

We went to the lab and we just finished it.” I got so mad and I went to the professor and said, “He doesn’t—just share those projects, because I have to get a grade, too.” He said, “You chose him as a leader, so you have to go take care of it.” I sent him a few e-mails and asked him, “Okay, you should just give me more tasks, you have to just make—” I don’t know; he just never did. For the second semester of capstone I got B, because our professor said, “I didn’t see you doing those electrical engineering things,” and I said

Industry Fellows is a form ofindustry/academia collaboration providing direct engagement of an industry professional withinthe classroom throughout a semester. This direct engagement has the benefit of bringingacademic instruction and state-of-the-art industry practices into closer alignment [1].The goal of this paper is to extend the Industry Fellows model from application in face-to-facedelivery into online delivery for distance education.

In this paper, we sought to quantify changes in studentcreativity that resulted from participation in a mechanical engineering course targeted atintegrating engineering, technology, and the arts. The course was team taught by instructors frommechanical engineering and art. The art instructor introduced origami principles and techniquesas a means for students to optimize engineering structures. Through a course project, engineeringstudent teams interacted with art students to perform structural analysis on an origami-based artinstallation, which was the capstone project of the art instructor’s undergraduate origami course.Three engineering student teams extended

biggest challenge was the issues faced with the hardware and software together. There was a repeatedissue of the soil moisture sensor generating incorrect readings, and not just working “backwards,” butworking in strange ways all together. The problem that caused this was loose wiring. To fix this, wireswere glued together where needed, and taped down to the Arduino Uno case so they would not comeloose again.Knowledge and experience on selecting and using appropriate sensors for plants development that weregained in this senior design capstone project led the authors and undergraduate students to be recentlyinvolved in a major USDA grant award titled “Design and Development of a Handheld InfraredThermography Device for Nondestructive Rapid

have access to industry practitioners with the appropriate expertise to meet theirpractical course-support needs (e.g., site visits, guest lectures, and mentors for capstone projects).Researchers [20,21,22] have also argued that knowledge is distributed among people and theirCoP and that learning occurs by connecting with the CoP to aggregate information from thecommunity and participate in meaningful activities with the community.Despite the perceived benefits of integrating academia and practice, the education communitystill experiences marginal and unequal access to the CoP. Access is usually achieved via one-on-one contacts and relationships, leaving institutions or instructors, and consequentially students,without such connections or
