Students then practice applying these concepts within a seriesof mini-projects.Data CollectionData was collected during one of the lab sessions in early November. By this point in thesemester, the students had exposed to the aircraft design process for 11 weeks and had completedthree individual design projects. The lab was designed to serve as a summative experience for thestudents to revisit the design process and begin to explore a new topic. The lab session design isdescribed in detail in previous work17.The focus of this paper is on the artifacts developed during the initial framing

The SCALE-UP (Student-Centered Active-Learning Environment with Upside-DownPedagogies) project has paved the way for active learning classrooms and is the basis for the"flipped" classroom model, where the majority of content is delivered outside the classroom, andclassroom time is used for active-learning activities, and often, group work. The SCALE-UPmodel has been shown to result in increased academic performance and student satisfaction(Beichner and Saul 2003).The School of Engineering (SOE) has placed a high priority on supporting pedagogical shifts tostudent-centered, evidence-based practices across its undergraduate curricula through itsEngaged Learning Initiative (ELI).

Students involved in the CAR research projects have access to ancillary services,facilities and support staff. Besides gaining laboratory experience, students working at the CARreceive credit towards a degree and/or compensation. In addition, students gain authorship injournal articles, attend scientific conferences to present their results, and participate in a numberof outreach efforts.

For thepurposes of this paper, it is sufficient to note that the program relies heavily on Project BasedLearning and Work Integrated Learning.Engineering Integrated Standards and the CSU Engineering Course Design ProcessThe goal of the CSU course design process is to ensure that students receive integrated,coherent learning experiences that contribute towards their personal, academic andprofessional learning and development. Course design begins with selecting a course teamthat includes Course Directors, academic staff and Educational Designers to ensure anappropriate range of disciplinary

In this section, we will show how the primaryskill sets from Arreola et al.'s "Meta-Profession" project [12] are orthogonal to and illustratesome of the available sources of faculty mentoring and faculty development programs across themultiple hats faculty wear. Part of our choice of the Meta-Profession project is rooted in itsorigins: the concept grew out of the need to define the role of teaching in a comprehensivefaculty evaluation program [13]. As such, the skills sets described below are formed for use asmentoring/development prompts, a part of faculty evaluation, and a means to supporting
support teams to transition the concepts into the marketplace (NSF, I-Corps, 2012).I-Corps Sites share the principles of the I-Corps Curriculum and the teams at each site aremodeled after the composition of I-Corps Teams (NSF, I-Corps, 2012). Start-ups founded byparticipants are the main vehicle for commercialization activities, and the projects will beprepared for business formation.NSF recognizes that the transitioning of technologies out of an academic laboratory requires skillsets and knowledge that differ from those necessary for basic research. NSF’s I-Corps programwill develop entrepreneurial skills and knowledge in the new generation of scientists andengineers. An innovative ecosystem will develop if NSF’s past, current, and future
