distinguishes expert from novice engineers. Forexample, first-year engineering students who spent more time selecting among alternativesproduced design solutions of higher quality in think-aloud design tasks [12]. Efficient designersfrequently looped through various design stages—gathering information, developing prototypes,and implementation, instead of using a linear process [13].In sum, evaluating among alternatives is integral to engineering design decisions. Thus, wefollow Atman et al. [12] and conceptualize design decision as opting for an idea or solutionamong alternatives, after a period of brainstorming ideas, modeling solutions, analyzingfeasibility, and evaluation. Researchers have used verbal protocol analysis to study the differentphases

benefits students directly by allowing them to focus on an up-and-coming area, i.e., UASthat may be included in resume building and future projects related to UASs. We also outline afoundation for a regional UAS student competition to be housed at RIT’s existing outdoor UASnetted closure facility and, in the future, a student UAS related conference. In particular, weconsider the development of a final capstone requirement for the new proposed UAS relateddual-listed course for mandatory participation in the proposed UAS student competition andstudent conference as part of the curriculum enhancement effort. A new lecture for presentationto RIT’s graduate seminar series was developed in the topic of commercial applications andsocietal benefits of
theirmethodology. The difference between the two approaches is that the PjBL covers a broaderscope and may include several problems. In addition, PjBL focuses on the final product byapplying or integrating previous knowledge while the emphasis of PBL is on the acquisition ofnew knowledge [3].Currently universities are utilizing entrepreneurial-minded learning (EML) as well. ThroughEML students get to solve a problem in a fashion that creates value, which helps to createengineers to make an impact in the workplace [4, 5]. EML course modulus can be created byincorporating behavioral or complementary skills into student-centered pedagogy. Examples ofsuch skills are demonstrating constant curiosity, exploring a contrarian view of acceptedsolutions, assessing
: Programming, Teacher Experiences, and Student Outcomes in a Partner Hub Abstract The K12 InVenture Prize program has been creating the next generation of engineers andentrepreneurs through invention education since 2013. Its key components include teacherprofessional development, a semi-structured curriculum, an online platform for students toreceive periodic feedback on their inventions, and a culminating state competition event at theGeorgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). The program is actively trying to reach more rural areas by engaging urban and small-town hubs located within rural counties. A total of 35 schools, 55 teachers, and over 200 studentsfrom a new hub were

The engineering curriculums have an untappedpotential to help in achieving these goals.There are limited studies available in the literature on the effectiveness of service learningpedagogy particularly in engineering courses and programs [3]. Warren (2012) [8] analyzed 11research studies on the effectiveness of service learning in improving learning in a variety of fields,including communication, English, sociology, psychology, political science, and pharmacy. Thesestudies utilized a wide variety of tools to measure student learning. The results indicated thatregardless of measurement tools, service learning improved student learning. This type of study iseven more
technology that has been under increased research scrutiny is VR. VRprovides learners with a sense of spatial presence and immersion that is incomparable to othermedia [7], [8]. For example, Thorsteinsson and Shavinina found that immersing students in VRexperiences aligned with the class’s textbook increased their conceptual and experientialknowledge [9]. The benefits of including VR in a classroom go beyond the cognitive dimensionto benefit the emotional as well. The implementation of VR in the classroom environment is stillin its early stages and often analyzed through case-by-case research. Further research needs to beperformed to evaluate its benefits in an engineering curriculum. With this research opportunity, the authors of this

changes to the department curriculum and course structures,departmental interactions and community-building efforts, departmental mentoring efforts,student recruitment, department recruiting efforts, and departmental partnerships withcommunity colleges.Due to the overlapping nature of the individual program goals and the department’s efforts tocreate broad change, adhering to the Program Evaluation Standards of utility, feasibility,propriety, and accuracy (Yarbrough et al., 2011) necessitated taking a comprehensive evaluationapproach. This approach would enable an understanding of not just individual programs, but alsoallow us to gain an understanding of the ways in which the department was, and was not,changing as a whole.Researchers have noted

But what are the conditions for establishing CEP inengineering schools? And how can we explain the different ways in which CEP programsthrive? From the perspective of the social systems theory, there is an interplay in the dimensionsof constraints (structural coercion), free choices, and contingencies, allowing actors a set ofoptions

elements of electronic product design and production for an OPD.Electronic products and systems are ubiquitous. From an electric pencil sharpener to the firecontrol system on a Trident nuclear powered submarine, these products utilize electricalcomponents packaged in a mechanical assembly. During product or system operation, there isinput from a human, robot or another product or system, causing a desirable output from theproduct or system to a human, robot or another product or system. The input data, both analogand/or digital, are processed, and the resultant output is some form of work – electrical,mechanical or both (the path integral of a force over a distance) – e.g., a useful pencil point iscreated, or a missile is fired at a target.

equivalent content for all students and may lack a substantive researchcomponent that fits well with information literacy instruction. Finally, many engineeringprograms are hesitant to integrate a substantive information literacy component into an alreadyoversaturated first-year curriculum. As a result, many of the in-person ILI programs described inthe literature take the form of large, generic orientation sessions presented in a lecture hall [16].The assessments of these training programs often rely on multiple-choice assessments, whichwhile scaling effectively, cannot provide insights into student achievement of higher level skills[17]. In order to gain more nuanced understandings of student learning, the literature suggestsdesigning authentic
mergedstudio art and computer-aided engineering. This course was intended to meet Loyola’s core(general education) requirements in the fine arts area, while also satisfying an “engineeringelective” requirement for any engineering students who chose to take the course.Different approaches for integrating art and engineering in an educational setting have beendescribed by several investigators. Some incorporated modules or projects into existing art orengineering courses [1-4] or labs [5,6]. Others developed new courses that combined thedisciplines in particular ways [7-12]. Still others conducted studies outside of courses [13] ormodified entire curricula [14]. The aims and methods associated with these efforts were quitevaried. For example, Benson and

Students completed pre/post surveys regardingprior makerspace experience, their first-year makerspace experience, engineering identity, andgeneral engineering skills. The survey results of students who participated in the maker-sectionsof the course are compared with survey results of a

A host of examples can be cited showing that many scientists develop passion inmusic, such as Einstein, Planck and Bose. Medical doctors spend pastime in painting; mathematicians andphysicists, like Bertrand Russell and Werner Heisenberg, are good writers; and wartime heroes, such asSimon Bolivar and Winston Churchill, are prolific authors. These artistic faculties are worth integrating inengineering education and in engineering practice.Arts and Aesthetics in Engineering PracticePracticing engineers in design firms are often criticized for not making much room for the artistic and theaesthetic
