understanding of the procedures and objectives. Inorder to keep students as engaged as possible, the labs are designed to only take ~ 1.5 – 2 hours,with efficiency increased by using prelab assignments to ensure that appropriate planning hasbeen completed prior to attending. In addition, a lab notebook is required to document allexercises with an emphasis on data integrity, and ethics of recording and presentation. Althoughanalysis associated with most lab exercises is done within the lab group, the analysis from fourexercises is done individually. Combined with individual effort from the lecture portion of thecourse, 50% of the grade is individual while 50% is team based. This helps to ensure thatstudents are not simply carried by their teammates.1

However,introducing these concepts in their first semester prepares students for future courses, and helpsthem understand that engineering is not just problem sets and robotics.Background: The College and the CourseEngineers often do not arrive at college with an appreciation for the importance of professionalresearch and communication skills [1]. These skills are necessary not only for their successfulundergraduate career, but also for a successful engineering career. Engineering students areoften unaware of the number of reports and presentations they will be expected to deliver, or theamount of
education has been mainly focused onproblems that are open-ended in nature (e.g. design problems) or enabling skills more broadly(i.e. ethics, communication). For an open-ended problem, multiple viable and correct solutionsexist. Students’ writings, portfolios, or design-based projects, laboratories, or fourth-yearcapstone projects are areas in which outcomes-based research has been extensively investigated[9]–[12].Most of the work done on closed-ended problem solving is related to aiding students with self-regulation and building their problem-solving capability, rather than aiding the feedback process.Examples of the former include models of problem-solving in engineering and informationprocessing [13]–[17]. These models provide guiding

To improve six-year graduation rates and retention to degree, thecalculated option is to focus recruiting efforts on students from low-poverty high schools andminimize enrollment by students from high-poverty high schools. This would cause harm to thepopulations we are most interested in helping in this study and we stress that these results shouldnot be used to support such a decision. Rather, these results should be used to to help stakeholdersunderstand the impact of systemic inequities on individuals so that those inequities can

senior year, recenttrends emerged to weave PBL in the first year and throughout the curriculum in semester-long projects.Students are being introduced to design methods, team dynamics and ethics in parallel with the analysis-focused courses (Dym et al., 2005). However, the systematic integration of design and analysis in coursesis still lacking (Carberry & McKenna, 2014). Some of the outstanding research questions about PBL asproposed by Dym et al. (2005) include: “What are the best proportions of problems, projects, teamwork,technology, and reality for a given state of student development,” and “how do the proportions changewith regard to the context of different engineering disciplines and institutional missions?” (p. 112).There are some

During both semesters a number of university-level deadlines wereimposed that included completing individual chapters such as the introductory, literature reviews,etc. as well as monthly progress reports and contingency plans. During the second (final) semester,students needed to submit close-to-final drafts of their honors thesis to the Division of StudentAffairs for critique and feedback.

New courses such as “Robotics,” “Nanotechnology,” “The Futureof Science and Technology” (including an ethics component), and a variety of courses insustainable technology and ecology have all opened up new ways of thinking aboutdesign and its applications. But the course that best exemplifies all of our educationalaims in the new science curriculum is “Nature’s Design,” the focus of this paper.Using biology as a method to teach design, engineering and/or architecture is anincreasing trend. In 2005, a paper2 written by Dennis Dollens, architect and educator atthe Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, looked at examples of incorporatingbiomimetic concepts and theory into the teaching of architecture and industrial design.

quitecommon that their work experience has been limited to fast food or customer service. Studentsoften feel that this is of no value and that they have nothing to offer. What we emphasize is thatwhile these positions do not involve technical proficiency, they are opportunities to describe the‘soft skills’ that engineers often lack. Even the most generic ‘Burger Land’ job may require suchskills as communication, team work, integrity, trustworthiness, leadership, or work ethic. Thestudents simply need to emphasize the aspects of the job that demonstrated them on the resume.This experience is usually placed in the lower half of the resume, following the engineeringrelated items such as education, technical skills, coursework, projects or any

Most four year engineering programs include acornerstone design course in the first year which introduces students to the breadth ofengineering design topics. Students obtain more in-depth knowledge in their second and thirdyear, in particular related to engineering analysis. Although analysis is a relevant part of thedesign process, when asked to
