Each of these themes is an aspect of how the participants have constructed theirunderstanding of and managing uncertainty in design.Theme 1: Managing uncertainty can be learned, but none learned to do so in schoolA common conclusion from the participants is that the ability to manage uncertainty in designcan be learned. This was most succinctly stated by Stephen who responded to a question aboutwhether he approaches projects the same way at the beginning of his career versus where he wasnow by simply stating “No. Again it’s a learned experience.” The participants explained thatthere were five main

Consequently in these settings, only asurface level understanding of their value is realized [2]. Many engineering students do not know how toapproach large complex systems due to their exposure to idealistic examples [3]. Additionally, they notcapable of providing critical multi-disciplinary integration of their designs due to the isolated nature oftopics in the classroom [4] [5].

A contextualized learning approach [4-5] inengineering education has been shown to improve student motivation, confidence, andconceptual understanding in a variety of studies [e.g. 6-7].To meet this “design gap” in our curriculum and to address the need for human-centeredcontextualized design experience for our students, we developed an upper-level elective courseentitled

In this stage, individuals claim a contextual and relativisticview in different areas of life in addition to one’s study or one’s pursuit of knowledge. By takinga contextual constructivist view, individuals carefully go through factors and examine relatedinformation in decision-making processes. Individuals confirm their commitments to carefullythought-through values, careers, relationships, and personal identity while recognizing thelimitation of reasoning, and thus assuming major responsibilities in different areas of life.Since the first proposal of Perry’s model, subsequent

Another Cohort faculty similarly noted: In my classes now, I emphasize how important the actual learning is and what they're going to take on, what they're going to take from this into their future careers. I’m thinking about if the students are actually transforming and learning a lot throughout the class, rather than just getting through it. (Faculty member C1-C)We now hear the faculty using the terminology and patterns of the Engineering Learningframework.

Further details may be provided perrequest.DIYers can be turned into professionals by helping them understand that after graduation, real-world projects require much more rigor and attention to detail than the simple experiments thatare typically meant to show concepts. The student who can adapt to the demands of thecommercial world will be much better off when starting a career. We believe these labs showthat bridging the gap is doable.References[1] For example, see the following web sites: https://www.quora.com/Why-is-Arduino-so-popular https://makezine.com/2011/02/10/why-the-arduino-won-and-why-its-here-to-stay/ https

I think it would be better to get the students involved rather than watch a TA run the test.”Comments of this type have been appearing since the beginning of the survey and also on theinitial voice of the student focus groups. However, the number of these comments has decreasedover time. A concerted department wide effort has been made to increase the hands on nature ofall lab courses. Some experiments are easier to make

As stated by Feisel and Rosa[4], a typical goal of a laboratory course is to relate theory and practice. They also mention theadded benefit of students interacting with physical systems, which can be useful in a successfulengineering career where the theory must be applied. If done well, laboratories can assist inhands on skills, problem solving, and analytical thinking [5]. While

They proposedoing so by asking traditional technical questions in ways that require students to interrogatepotential circumstances of problems they are given in class [13]. This can be done in ways thatdo not forfeit the technical requirements demanded of an engineer, but rather complementlearning in the classroom to better mirror (and prepare students for) the socio-technical worknecessary for acting as Engineering Changemakers or, simply, for successful careers inengineering.This paper details the first iteration of a module to incorporate
