” and shares progress in the four essential areas needed todevelop a culture of doing engineering. It also provides insights on lessons learned.IntroductionIn 2017, the Mechanical Engineering Department at Seattle University was awarded a NationalScience Foundation grant to revolutionize the department. The department’s proposal centers oncreating a program where students can develop a strong identity with their chosen profession.The project leverages the department’s small size and close ties with industry to create a cultureof “Engineering with Engineers.” The first two sections of this paper provide an overview of theproject. This overview is taken from the NSF Grantees Poster paper presented at the 2018 ASEEAnnual Conference [1]. The

Less than a handful of these studies have exploredgames’ appeal, efficacy or UG performance as a function of gender. For example, Joiner et al.,[19] who studied a population of 138 ME UGs (15/138 female) found that there was nodifference in “motivation towards engineering” (4.2 + 0.5, pre- and post-survey results) or in“perceived engineering competence” (3.4 + 0.7, pre-survey to 3.3 + 0.4, post-survey) after videogame use for

To meet market demands, organizationshave capitalized on teamwork, as it is ideally suited to spurring innovation and creativity, as wellas generating and sharing knowledge [2].

For these reasons,engineering programs have worked to incorporate cornerstone and capstone

Seal force is the integrity of the sealing quality of the rubber stoppers that cap thepharmaceutical drug vials. The usual process of testing it is by performing a compressive test. The entire prototypingwas accomplished in various phases. Project 2 was an independent undertaking that was conducted over a period of2 semesters during which the student-faculty team conceived and developed an idea for marketing a low-costmechanical testing equipment. The idea was to build a tensile, compressive tester using off the shelf component,keeping the selling price below $2500 per

Theinstructor provided the students with a Matlab code that was designed to facilitate applyingSentiment Analysis to tweets. For example, the code can be used to (1) identify tweets thatcontain one or more specific keywords and (2) create a histogram of words used in these tweets,in order to identify recurring themes in tweets that mention the keyword(s). The final deliverablefor the project was a report in which students detailed how they used the Matlab code to answer anumber of open-ended questions, as well as an introductory section in which students discussedthe importance and applications

Because engineering research demands aworkforce whose interdisciplinary academic training extends from a sub-atomistic understandingof fundamental science to a broad understanding of complex systems and processes, mostresearch training programs focus on knowledge and skills either specific to the field of research,or on the process of performing research in general, giving students basic competencies in theability to perform research [1].

Functional modeling proceduresare often taught in undergraduate design classes as a part of reverse engineering or as an earlystep in creating new designs. However, there is no accepted means of assessing whether studentsunderstand the underlying concepts when applying these procedures, and indeed there is no agreed-upon articulation of

This intervention had been tested inprogramming for a few hours of instruction and found effective. The current project expandsupon that work.The overarching research questions for this project are as follows: 1. How do subgoal-labeled worked examples affect learning through an entire introductory programming course? 2. How can formative assessments that are subgoal labeled impact student learning?In order to answer these questions

The intent was to showhow computing and engineering professionals could make a positive difference in the lives ofothers, even if limited to working from behind a computer screen. However, the project waslargely self-directed by the students, as each team picked the subject for a provided grade leveland then wrote a software application for it.
