Research points to several contributing factors which play arole in improving student learning during engineering design experiences, including the impactof active, project-based, and hands-on learning methodologies, and the development of a sense ofcommunity and a peer support network23, 43-45. Cooperative learning approaches that are hands-on and interactive are particularly appealing to underrepresented students 46-49. First-yearengineering design was highlighted as one of six key areas in engineering education innovationat the 2011 ASEE Annual Conference 50. Pioneered in the 1990’s and implemented in severalNSF

WhenEC 2000 abandoned credit-hour bean counting, the language shifted to require “adequateattention and time” for general education subjects (while retaining numerical requirements of ayear for fundamental science and math courses and a year and a half of engineering content).Nevertheless, regardless of whether one casts EC 2000’s advancements for liberal education ofengineers as meager, incremental, or transformative, there is no doubt that the current proposedchanges, by omitting the requirement of “adequate attention and time” for educational breadth,drops the floor on well-rounded education of engineers. This change threatens to send thecountry back not just 20 years to the 1990s before EC 2000, but more than

Similar to theevaluative frameworks, we found that all of the socially situated activities we identified wereused by engineers from both disciplines. For example, these activities include troubleshootingroot cause(s) of failure and multimodal communication as shown in Figure 2.In discerning relationships between the three layers of literacy practices (i.e., genres,frameworks, and socially situated activities) shown in Figure 2, we noticed two things.

(Seppet al. 2015; Kim, Campbell, et al., 2019) due in part to the efforts of the Consortium to PromoteReflection in Engineering Education (CPREE, see www.cpree.uw.edu). In the context ofreflecting on experiences broadly, reflection has been defined as “an intentional and dialecticalthinking process where an individual revisits features of an experience with which he/she isaware and uses one or more lenses in order to assign meaning(s) to the experience that can guidefuture action (and thus future experience)” (Turns et al. 2014). This definition is consistent withour conception of skills and habits needed by reflective engineers, though we think it importantto emphasize extending the temporal view to include not only the past, but also the

These activities are heavily dependent on the student(s) developing a mathematicalalgorithm or a mathematical approach to solve the given problem. In order to understand how atask could elicit design thinking, we began to review literature on design thinking and collectedstudio problems from the industrial design program at the college. Studio problems are used tointroduce concepts, vocabulary, and skills applicable to continued study in a variety of visualdisciplines.

gratifying to find that the traditional gender gap inretention is not apparent among Rowan students. Rather, the patterns of gender differences inretention are more like what Huang & Peng11 found for all science and engineering (S&E)students, that is, females having better retention rates and earlier degree completion than males.As explanation for why female students seemed to do better in terms of program switching anddegree completion among S&E students, they suggested that “a very stringent selectionmechanism might be at work in S&E program entry.

. Ultimately, the survey was administeredin five classes, resulting in a sample size of 137 students representing all departments. Thisconstituted approximately 10 per cent of the undergraduate student engineering population. Thenumber of participants and their departmental affiliations are represented in Table 1.For the interviews, we selected eight faculty,1 using a maximum variation sampling strategy.2Maximum variation sampling involves purposively picking a wide range of variation on thedimension(s) of interest. It helps to identify important common patterns that cut acrossvariations. Since our research interest was to identify commonly shared standards in writtenengineering, we used departments as the basic criterion to identify variation. Of the

Since all of the agents beginfrom the same starting point, the nest, they are each able to share meaningful goal locationinformation with the others. More importantly, the goal location information is improved eachtime the next robot in succession discovers the goal location. This is due to the fact that everyrobot sends a message to the rest of the group when it discovers the goal location, thus anyimprovements to the original goal location data are passed on.

In this stage, students areprompted to specify (give a rudimentary definition for) an ethical principle that they identified inthe previous stage. This formulated a more formal procedure for ethical reasoning, based onBeever and Brightman’s [48] Reflexive Principlism approach. Moreover, this procedure ofoperationalizing an ethical principle as students gather sociotechnical knowledge about a casecan set the stage for rational discourse [49].4.4. Small group
