Through this survey we determine which students would besuccessful in leading their teams and projects. We also take feedback from the studentsthemselves. If the students request a person to lead them and they meet all of our requirements,they are often promoted to that position.By the end of the course, students are expected to learn the following outcomes: • Will be able to define design requirements, • develop a work plan and objectives to complete their project, • will use engineering principles to design, build, test a product, • will develop communication skills, written and oral, to effectively

One of them became a Navy SEAL...he was like ‘you could be a great officer, but there's a higher calling for you’, and I... it was true, I really felt a greater calling, for me, my skill set, to do engineering and EWB related things just because of the engineering....Karl’s post-college military service did not go as planned.

We havealso used modeling to demonstrate how students could have benefited from modeling to realizethat their answers to the assignment were not aligned with their ethical responsibility.Furthermore, while we have used the attribute of reliability and the topic of valuing life as anexample, we have also discussed the possible effectiveness of modeling to operationalize ethicalresponsibility to support decision-making for other engineering decisions.We plan future work to test how previous, traditional ethical training factors in the

The traditional emphasis on developing students with theoretical andanalytical skills, and the heavy load of engineering science and mathematics courses during thefirst two years of college leads many students to concentrate more on academic performanceand not realize the importance of developing professional skills.Over the past 30 years, there have been notable curriculum shifts in engineering education tomeet the needs of industry and the standards of ABET Accreditation. According to generalcriterion #5, “students are prepared to enter the practice of engineering through a curriculumthat includes a culminating major design experience” [4].

examined Fall 2018 late-semesterreflections (n=4 women, n=6 men) that asked students to respond to a prompt asking: An underlying theme of the Engineering Projects classes is the opportunity to broaden and develop your skillset in engineering design and communication. During your first reflections, you described a design skill that you would like to work on during this class, how you would develop that skill, and your experiences/plan to incorporate this skill in your product development. For this last reflection, please go back to your original reflections and write about your progress this semester. Think about your personal skill development in manufacturing, electronics, programming and/or

You are encouraged to seek other opportunities for funding to support you in your efforts. Moreover, this project would be considered a success if a plan for mass production is prepared (or stated) by project completion. 2.5. Project EvaluationThough projects may be different in thrust and goals, all projects are required to follow asystematic process that is graded as such. The teams follow a systematic design process wherebythey develop requirements, generate concepts, perform concept analysis/justification, performexperiments/testing, and recommend a final solution.

technology nowadays,writing on a Tablet with a quality stylus could feel akin to their paper-and-pen counterpart. Formost problem-based STEM content, high quality screencast videos perceived as most useful bystudents depended not only on thorough planning of the recorded content, but upon careful post-editing with callouts. Of course, any awkward pauses, misspoken words, or other unwantedportions should be removed to craft a focused video that uses students’ time efficiently andsustains their retention. Furthermore, it is important to stress that rich annotations created byinstructors during pre- and post-editing can help grab students’ attention, significantly enhancevideo quality, result in deep impact, and make it a more fun experience.

The codes included “experiences that shape identity,” “road of trialsin engineering,” “stories of values, knowledge, skills, practices and norms in engineering,”“stories of bias, prejudice and stereotype,” “recommendations for makerspaces,” “pathways toengineering” and “aspirations, goals, desires or plans.” These deductive codes developed as aprovisional “start list” served as the first-cycle coding [39].Though all of the codes proved useful in establishing meaning, two of the codes became thefocal points for understanding unique aspects of these students’ experiences in makerspaces:stories of values

The assessment involves twocohorts: control and intervention groups. The authors are currently collecting data for the controlgroup. Once the VR module is fully developed, relevant data will be collected and analyzed withrespect to the control group. The assessment instruments involve self-report surveys andknowledge tests
