The experiential workplace for usis where students are working when on an internship or participating in a cooperative educationprogram.Engineering experiential education programs, such as cooperative education and internships,present the best place to directly observe and measure students developing and demonstratingcompetencies while engaged in the practice of engineering at the professional level.Measurements made by employers of student competencies present the best opportunity forfeedback and curricular change with a cycle time that can address rapidly changing employerneeds and expectations.

Specifically, she focuses on divergent and convergent thinking processes in design innovations, including investigations of concept generation and development, exploring problem spaces to identify real needs and innovation opportunities, and approaches to integrate social and cultural elements of design contexts into design decisions.Colleen M.
