Paper ID #42857Assessing Design Thinking Mindset: Using Factor Analysis to ReexamineInstrument ValidityDr. Andrew Jackson, University of Georgia Andrew Jackson is an Assistant Professor of Workforce Education at the University of Georgia. His teaching and research interests are to support design-based learning and teaching in technology and engineering contexts. His past work has bridged cutting-edge soft robotics research to develop and evaluate novel design experiences in K-12 education, followed students’ self-regulation and trajectories while designing, and produced new instruments for assessing design decision-making
guides to assist the States in thedevelopment of technical education programs. The guide for Electronics Technology wasextensively used to design new electronics programs at the post-secondary level [1]. The statedgoal of the curricula proposed by the guide was to produce competent technicians that couldwork with engineers and scientists: doing research and development work or serving as customer(field) service, operations (manufacturing), and communications technicians. As already stated,although forty years has past and incredible technological change has occurred in the field, littlechange has occurred in the typical curriculum leading to a degree in the electronics area. Evenwith the addition of new technical subject matter into the typical

withinthe course. This aspect of the research represents an area for a deeper exploration to answer thequestion – what are the appropriate forms and levels of design experience for undergraduates indifferent engineering disciplines?With respect to possible pedagogical change, the systems mapping exercise surfacedopportunities for adaptations to the class in the mind of the instructor as well. One that stood outfrom the discussion was the recognition that some of the activities necessary to perform analysiswere not consistent with practice. In practice, an engineer would not be limited to researchingjournal articles – which the instructor said can, at times, feel like a “treasure hunt, not anengineering exercise” – to find a necessary equation or

Session 2547 Combining Computer Analysis and Physical Testing in a Finite Element Analysis Course William E. Howard, Thomas J. Labus, and Vincent C. Prantil Milwaukee School of EngineeringAbstractFinite element analysis (FEA) has become an essential tool in the product design process ofmany companies. A course in FEA is required in a large number of mechanical engineering andmechanical engineering technology curricula. Most FEA courses necessarily include somebalance of theory and practical use of a commercial FEA program. In a course recentlydeveloped at Milwaukee

Students are cohorted in three primarySTEM courses, math, chemistry, and engineering, as well as a two-credit hour learning strategiescourse that focuses on building skills around being an effective learner and STEM student.Entangled Learning was used as the pedagogical framework guiding the design of the learningstrategies course, and the course aims to enhance students’ self-regulatory behaviors, learningskills and strategies, and habits of mind. Among other assignments, student learning is assessedthrough a series of learning journal assignments, including an extensive set of exam wrapperactivities, which will be the subject of this paper.This paper will present a focused exploration of the exam wrapper
phenomenon in a waythat would otherwise be impossible [16]. These benefits, combined with the relatively low costof implementing a VR framework, make VR scanning electron microscopy an effectivealternative to a real SEM laboratory.With this in mind, a team of researchers and students (including the authors) at Utah ValleyUniversity (UVU) investigated VR as a strategy for familiarizing students with the SEM, astrategy we hope will be disseminated to additional colleges and universities to better prepare thenext generation of nanotechnology engineers. Using VR hardware, the team designed a VR labincorporating a SEM for use in training students and faculty. The complete VR lab includes fourdifferent rooms containing essential tools used in

This program incorporated scholarship fundsand structural supports to help students successfully navigate their engineering undergraduatedegree program. These supports were chosen with specific target populations in mind, namelylow-income, first-generation, mathematically underprepared, and minority students. The projectteam chose to employ personas in an attempt to create a rubric that allowed for the holistic,subjective, “I know it when I see it” style of selecting students who showed a need for thescholarship program while having a shared vision of what “it” is. This paper presents the methoddeveloped to create this rubric using personas and the experience of the

PerspectiveThe faculty member had straight-forward goals, centered around the student learning skills andconcepts, both soft and technical, that are seldom fully developed in a typical engineering course.The overall goal, in the mind of the faculty member, was not to entirely recreate an existingsecurity design but rather to give foundational understanding to the student and allow the studentto grow as an engineer. The student grew in their understanding of cybersecurity, digital hardwareengineering, research methods, and more. As such, the project was a success. As with manyprojects, time and resources were limited, but despite that, the results, from the supervisor’s view,were positive.5 Recommendations from the Student5.1 Recommendations for
