The reason for introduction of the debates was not to improve overall course grades,which were in the 83% to 85% overall for those two semesters, but in the hopes of improvingstudent participation, motivation for learning the materials, and understanding

After development, students use the remainder ofthe semester to examine peer-reviewed literature in order to find other methods for ranking andselecting projects, to design new or novel approaches to project selection, and to modify thesimulation model to better reflect real-world operating environments. Students then use thesimulation model to perform experiments and test hypotheses related to research objectives theydefine.Of course

To accomplish this, it has chosen a method which lies mid-way between the twoextremes found in typical engineering curricula, namely self-learning and explicit courseinstruction. In the selected model, the cost to a specific course, or academic term, is small, andthe distributed nature of the modules (once per term for the first three years of the program)enhances their impact by keeping teamwork always “front of mind” for students.Upon reflection, the success of the team’s initiative can be largely attributed to the team’scharacteristics as a well-functioning team, made up of people with complementary expertisewhich covers the broad spectrum required to teach teamwork skills to engineering students whilenavigating significant and varied

Theambassador role aligns career-related motivations, resonance with messages contained in theNational Academy of Engineering’s Changing the Conversation report, beliefs about the missionof the EAN, and plans for fulfilling the Network’s mission.

, a student will typicallyexperience a new project and team although occasionally, projects and teams may be continuedfrom a previous semester. In design, students are assessed on their ability to complete the designprocess and develop a solution that meets specifications. In addition to three design credits,students enroll in three professionalism credits. In professionalism, students are assessed on allthe aspects of the design project that are not design (e.g., communicating with the client,conducting a personal review, reflecting on the design process, working in teams, andunderstanding engineering ethics). Furthermore, each student enrolls in a one-credit seminarcourse where they learn and practice design and professionalism
