In addition to studentand alumni stories of team writing, engineering faculty were interviewed to learn more abouthow they approach collaborative and communication-based projects and how consider diversity,equity, and inclusion in their teaching. The goal was to connect the ways that instructors framethese collaborative projects and to surface how implicit biases may emerge and impact students.The findings reported here focus on
University. The University of East Anglia has been delivering a ‘Rotation PhD’in which students visit different labs in 10-week long research mini-projects, directed bydifferent supervisors and trained in different techniques. The ‘Integrated PhD’ at theUniversity of Southampton has offered 3 laboratory rotation projects after which the studentis awarded an MRes (Master of Research) and they then spend 3 more years deepening theirexpertise towards a PhD degree. These approaches have been successful over the years anddemonstrate an appetite for very varied, skills-training focused programs that provide theresearcher with broader knowledge and varied competencies that prepare them foremployment. However, these programs are typically found in
opportunities for students to learn how to design in the most authenticcontext possible with many of the constraints of the university setting removed (viz. constraintson time, material resources, and opportunities for multi-disciplinary problems).CEWIL Canada – a national body to promote the use of Work-integrated learning (WIL) ineducational settings – defines work-integrated learning as “a form of curricular experientialeducation that formally integrates a student’s academic studies with quality experiences within aworkplace or practice setting… [involving] an academic institution, a host organization, and astudent” [3]. WIL approaches include: community and industry research and projects,apprenticeships, co-operative education, entrepreneurship

Especially notable is the work at the Universityof Maryland with freshmen,1 which was recently recognized by Boeing as one of the top four educationalefforts in the country. EXCEL and SYNTHESIS research has focused primarily on incorporating design in thefreshman year. SUCCEED has focused on integrating design throughout curricula. In the first year of funding, theCenter for Engineering Practice sponsored approximately 10 early-design projects. At the end of the secondyear, these projects were grouped together into a team called the Early Design Megaproject. The purpose ofthe

challenges. This REU site focuses on networking research for drone swarms in the ageof AI. The first cohort of seven undergraduate students were recruited to participate in a ten-weeksummer program to perform networking research for drone swarms under the guidance of facultyand research mentors. In this paper, a couple of drone swarm projects were briefly summarized.By the end of the summer program, students was surveyed about their undergraduate researchexperiences. A couple of months after students were back to their home institutions, a couple ofstudents were interviewed about the impact of their undergraduate research experiences on theircontinued learning. The faculty who helped to supervise the undergraduate students at the REUalso were

In 2019, Dr. Kerzmann joined the Me- chanical Engineering and Material Science (MEMS) department at the University of Pittsburgh. He is the advising coordinator and associate professor in the MEMS department, where he positively engages with numerous mechanical engineering advisees, teaches courses in mechanical engineering and sustainability, and conducts research in energy systems. Throughout his career, Dr. Kerzmann has advised over eighty student projects, some of which have won regional and international awards. A recent project team won
in understanding the advanced concepts and theories. Therefore, it is necessaryto let the students have equal chances to practice via hands-on projects. The internet of things (IoT)has been integrated into the robotics classes in the Department of Mechanical EngineeringTechnology (MET). The basic idea is to use the internet to implement IoT-based projects thatcombine wireless sensor networks, online learning management systems, and remote-controltechniques to realize the learners' remote collaboration and immersive feeling. In an IoT-basedproject, a robot spider is taken to show the implementing procedures. This project combinedseveral cutting-edge techniques, including vision-based simultaneous localization and mappingand object detection

Thetripartite mentoring relationship between us formed as part of a National Science FoundationResearch Initiation in Engineering Formation (NSF RIEF) project. We grounded our work in thecognitive apprenticeship model of mentoring and theory of social capital, asking the question:How do mentors and mentees perceive shared experiences? Over the course of 16 months, wecollected data in the form of reflective journal entries and transcripts from individual and jointinterviews, combining these with other documentation such as emails and text messages. Weanalyzed these data by identifying three critical incidents over the course of the relationship todate and comparing each of our

at a university in Indiana. This summer, the MODEL developed from thispilot was adapted and replicated at two other universities. Over 50 students (high school andcollege) participated in the three regions in the Midwest in a community engaged internshipexperience during the summer of 2022. Students worked on project teams of 4-6 students on acommunity-identified project for 8 weeks. Local high school teachers managed projects andcommunity partners served as technical mentors as students completed their paid internship,which culminated with a formal presentation and product to their community partner. The largerresearch effort uses mixed-methods data collection, including surveys and interviews, to examinea variety of outcomes, including
implementation of a board gameintended to simulate conversations that may occur in design-based projects. One of thechallenging tasks for a design group is learning how to collaborate and argue in a constructiveand productive way. This paper provides an overview of simulations and games used to assistpedagogy as well as efforts at improving teamwork in design courses and utilizes thisinformation to discuss the development and initial implementation of a pedagogical board game,"Teaming Tribulations." This game is intended to simulate the arguments that might occur withina design team discussion in a lighthearted and friendly atmosphere. In Teaming Tribulations,students are asked to create a quick design in response to a simple prompt. They then share
criteria or constraints in an engineering problem or multipledimensions of sustainability). Accordingly, some researchers have used time spent on tasks inrelation to performance on tasks as indicators of cognitive flexibility. Another definition is the“selective use of knowledge to adaptively fit the needs of understanding and decision-making ofa particular situation” [1, p. 548]. The latter definition seems appropriate for describing cognitiveflexibility in engineering problem-solving but does not seem to be fully captured by existingmeasures of time spent on task and performance.Guided by CFT, the main goals of our NSF EEC project were to improve students’ abilities toapply sustainable engineering concepts across different problem contexts or

The basic objective of knowledge-buildingsubjects is to gradually develop discipline specific knowledge while knowledge-integrationsubjects focused more on students’ all-round abilities and workplace skill development.The Mechanical Engineering programme in HKPolyU-ME admits students to its BEng(Hons)in Mechanical Engineering programme through 2 major routes; (1) direct admission to year 1based on Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) results (4 years in theuniversity – HKDSE intake) and (2) the Senior Year
