As the project advances, research papers on project activities and assessments will be submitted for presentation at conferences such as ASEE & ITiCSE. These conferences will provide venues for obtaining additional input and accomplishing broader community building. In 2014, a journal paper was also successfully published in the ASEE – Computers in Education journal.

A person who process data with their senses is referred to as a Sensors(S) and a person who sees where data is going in the future are called an iNtuitor (N). TheSensor versus iNtuitor category is an interesting area of study when it comes to engineeringeducation, because professors are historically intuitors while most engineering students aresensors49. The third category for MBTI preference describes the manner in which a personevaluates information. Those who tend to use a logical cause and effect strategy, Thinkers (T),differ from those who use a hierarchy based on values or the manner in which an idea iscommunicated, Feelers (F). The final

average by requiring its aircraft suppliers to design forthe variability observed among its pilots [3].While variability across humans is now acknowledged in aerospace engineering, other sources ofvariability are still mistreated. The standard practice in aerospace design is to quantify certainmaterial properties in terms of sample averages [5], a practice that has been in-use since at leastthe 1960’s [6]. This practice similarly ignores sources of variability, and exposes aircraftpassengers to elevated levels of risk.Figure 1. A rod with uniform cross-section, loaded in uniaxial tension. This image is relevant tothe example problem in this section, and was used to illustrate the rod design scenario consideredin Q7 for Study 1.To illustrate the

Participants are asked a series of follow up questions after these card sorts. Afterdiscussing the practices emphasized in the engineering context(s) in which they engaged,participants are asked to sort through the deck once again to identify the top practices theypersonally deem to be most important in addressing a complex problem in their field. In addition,participants are asked to reflect on the extent to which the valued aspects of engineering work

In addition, the student(s) should be able to implement assembly design modifications rela-tively quickly or test several designs during the course of the semester. The only fabricated com-ponent of this CNC machine is the modular block itself. All other components can be readilypurchased in bulk from a retailor thus reducing the cost for organizations that plan to use this inthe classroom. The remainder of this section discusses the design, development and manufactureof the modular block.The modular block (figure 3 a-f) is designed as a two-part symmetric clamshell. Each part iscomprised of an internal face (figure 3 a-c) and an external face (figure 3 d-f). The internal faceof the

Furthermore, most instruction on sustainability, as reported in the literature, appears tofocus on teaching the engineering student to be an engineer who practices sustainabledevelopment rather than a consumer who has a role in sustainable practice. In part, thisemphasis on the engineer's role in sustainability is a result of the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET)'s mandate that engineering undergraduates complete theirdegrees having achieved student outcome (c): “...an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability

problem solvers from poor ones by their awareness of which strategies theyhave used and their knowledge of where they are in their thinking relative to the final solution[18].Such criticisms have led some to back away from the “teaching problem solving” approachemerging from the 1970’s [19–21]. In fact, Schön went as far to argue that there is no such thingas problem solving in the engineering profession as “no engineer has ever been given a problemto solve.” Schön’s contention is the value of engineers’ work is not found in their problemsolving abilities. Rather, the essential facet of engineers’ work is found in their “problemsetting.” Engineers make sense of a given messy world from which many factors need to beconsidered, organized, and

TypeThe Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is similar to Felder-Silverman Learning Style, but islinked to personality preferences as shown in Table 2. MBTI includes four categories of how anindividual processes and evaluates information.29 The first category describes how a personinteracts with his or her environment. People who take initiative and gain energy frominteractions are known as Extroverts (E). Introverts (I), on the other hand prefer more of arelatively passive role and gain energy internally. The second category describes how a personprocesses information. People who process data with their senses are referred to as Sensors (S),and a person who sees where data is going in the future is called an iNtuitor (N). The Sensorversus

graduating each year is shownin Figure 7. Over the four-year period presented, the graduation rate is fairly steady.Student Scholar DataAn additional source of data came from members of the STEM Scholars Program (SSP). Membersof the program were required to fill activity reports detailing their time use and academic progress(attendance, grades, etc.) The reports contained weekly data and were submitted monthly viaemail. In addition, students filled reports describing how they spent their stipend from grant. Themonthly data was complied, analyzed, translated to semester data, and reported to the S-STEMScholarship Reporting Site (www.s-stem.org).Key findings from the activity reports [5] include:• A common theme related to financial aspects of the

A summative reviewassessed this program's impact on student's professional abilities for global employment. TheGlobal Perspective Inventory [20] and Engineering Global Preparedness Index were used tocreate a survey (e.g., the belief that one can make a difference through engineering problem-solving). The evaluator used a Likert scale to poll students before and after IRES. The surveytool examined research skills and global perspective inventory professional skills.

The only concern at this time is Element E since it is a high cost program and we have notfound a permanent source of funding. We are evaluating if Element F can substitute for ElementE and how to strengthen the social and professional integration components in the remainingElements. Given the home locations for many of the at-risk students (e.g., Guam), Element Emay be the only way that they can catch-up academically.ReferencesJones, S., Naegele, Z., and VanDeGrift, T. (2014).
