All four majors at this institution require students totake a first-year projects course; across the many sections of the course, some of these projectsmay be service-learning (S-L), others are community contextualized, and some are purelytechnical exercises (like a Rube Goldberg machine).26 Additional introductory courses to themajor required in the first semester for architectural, civil, and environmental engineeringstudents contain an emphasis

than 45 minutes long) are at a disadvantagewhen incorporating hands-on projects. It takes time to distribute materials at the beginning ofeach class and then clean up materials at the end of the bell. Longer bell schedules or blockschedules are generally preferable for project-based work. For some teachers, the barrier of time seems insurmountable. Others embrace this new wayof teaching, even after their time in the program comes to an end and they are no longer requiredto teach using challenge-based learning and engineering design. What makes the difference? Two factors emerge as teachers weigh the cost-benefit analysis to this new way of teaching.First, the selection of academic standard(s) to be addressed by the units, as well as
a coherent grouping of similar ways of experiencing thephenomenon among (typically) more than one individual.For Zoltowski et al.’s study, analysis of the data yielded seven qualitatively different ways inwhich the students experienced human-centered design (categories) within the context of“designing for others”. An overview of the categories of description is given in Table 1. Table 1.

Sustainability Links were used to assess the connections and interrelatednessbetween the three dimensions of sustainability. Students’ examples of sustainability links were judgedon three criteria, including “concept” = discussion of a topic(s) in relation to a single sustainabilitypillar, “crosslink” = discussion of a topic(s) in relation to two sustainability pillars, and “interdepen-dency” discussion of a topic(s) in relation to all three sustainability pillars

However, non-academic information is not provided, which may include Pell eligibility,work-study status, financial aid, or health records. Though each student is unique and hersuccess results from many factors, and we recognize that these factors play a role in determiningthe student’s academic path, the advisers deliberately consider only academic preparation indeveloping their advising model, for which initial data and results are presented in this paper.First-Year CurriculumFirst
entrepreneurial mindset.IntroductionTechnical skillset alone is not sufficient for engineering students to address the societalchallenges. According to the 2015 National Academy of Engineering (NAE)’s report Educate toInnovate1, the development of critical thinking skills as well as an innovative and entrepreneurialmindset is equally important. In order to meet the needs of the global economy, besidesemphasizing technical skills, engineering curriculum should incorporate content and activitiesthat promote the entrepreneurial mindset and the best time to start this is during the freshmanyear. This, however, is not the same as teaching entrepreneurship or preparing entrepreneurs.According to Kriewall and Mekemson2, “an entrepreneurial minded engineer (i.e

In traditional electronics courses, teaching low-pass filters at this point do nottypically use the concept of transfer function and convolution to derive the low-pass relationshipbetween the input and the output of the filter. By incorporating Signals and Systems into the KImodule, we were able to allow the students to systematically and rigorously derive the input-output relationship of the low-pass filter using the concepts of impulse response and convolutionto gain a better understanding of its circuit behavior. Table 2 lists a number of key concepts used in the first KI and the course(s) the key conceptsare taught

This is a verysmall amount of time for a project with a huge impact for everyone on campus.Participants were given only four guiding questions to start the conversations. 1. What does the classroom of the future look like? 2. What technologies must it have? 3. What teaching strategies are technology dependent? 4. Which room(s) on campus should we upgrade first?All participants were given free range to elaborate on these questions or make other commentsand suggestions they felt were essential to the conversation.In the fall of 2016, the prototype classroom of the future had been designed based on thisfeedback and was made available for scheduling university courses

Curriculum for Innovative Design,” sponsored by the Ministry of Science and Technology (formerly National Science Council), Taiwan, under Grant no. NSC 102-‐2511-‐S-‐002-‐011-‐MY3. Teachers engaging in interdisciplinary curriculum are often freed from isolation, allowed toactively take on multiple roles in teaching,10 and supported in reconstructing their roles andviews on their profession.6 On the other hand, some kind of mechanism—either institutionalor social—also needs to be in place in order to foster interdisciplinary cooperation amongteachers in the long run.8 In December 2013, three university teachers from civil engineering (CE), building andplanning (B&P), and futures studies (FS) embarked on a 3-year

A 100-watt lightbulb uses 3.6 x 105 J in one hour (so a joule is pretty small in the grand scale of energy), so we typically work with kJ = 1000 J. Another commonly used unit of energy is the calorie (cal), originally defined as the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1°C but is now defined as 4.184 J (exactly) so a calorie is about
