However, they did identify strongly with thearticle, which they saw as relevant (one of the article’s protagonists was a just out of collegeengineer, pitted against the narrow minded senior engineer and other managers).For the final project, students engaged in mock debate/town meeting. Students were assignedroles in OurTown, Connecticut (townspeople, business investors, government regulators,municipal officials) and were required to research the pros and cons of augmenting OurTown’snearly full landfill with a batch incinerator.

thesedemonstrations are clearly beneficial, as they serve to both break the monotony of an endlessstream of theory and equations, and to tie symbols to real-world phenomena, solidifying theirmeaning in the minds of pupils.5Hands-on laboratory work is highly regarded as a method for reinforcing learning by exposing Page 22.1648.2students to real-world applications and interactions.

Model proposed here incorporates the ideasof constructivism, operational definitions, process-improvement, and CMM-based maturitylevels and applies them to process teaching.While researching constructivism, the work of Harlan Mills 10 on the mathematical aspects ofbox structures came to mind. Box structures are the fundamental objects used for analysis anddesign of information systems in the box structure methodology. They are formally,(mathematically), defined, and I teach them in my graduate software engineering class on formalsoftware specification methods. There is nothing about box structures that is inherently relatedto CMM, or process teaching or learning, or constructivism. But I found it useful to depict myprocess-based model using

Their studyled them to conclude “the environment and factors that impede creativity in engineering are farmore profound and dominant in the engineering education than they are in sciences educationand naturally far more than those in liberal arts education.” 19 The most important maxim, andone worth noting, is that designers must keep an open mind. It is easy to be blinded by currentparadigms, and without an open mind it is difficult to see the next great idea.One student approached the author of this paper after the class was chided for poorly formeddesign

This further demonstrates the need to not overuse student engagementtechniques such as PBL [2], suggesting a balanced pedagogy approach should be taken.Looking at the examples and trends presented the questions are: 1. How does this translate to engineering technology? 2. How does this translate to a regional campus that historically has a large population offirst-generation students and commuter students?These are a couple of the many questions that come to mind when starting to look at theliterature when considering designing a FYET

We wonder whether it is seemingly“right” that students are forced to “leave” and be something else separate from being engineersrather than being able to bring their holistic selves into engineering. Our work will explore andaddress the above claims and concerns amongst our broader participant pool. We hope to create ahypothesis about engineering undergraduate students' involvement in engineering-adjacentactivities, furthering our understanding of how these activities affect their motivations.AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to acknowledge the contributions of

It is then assumed that a faculty member is expected to demonstrate her or his ability in the competencies proposed by the model. Specifically, CDIO Standards 9 and 10 address the issue of faculty training for the development of these competencies.[4]. With this in mind, the current research seeks to answer the question, do the faculties of engineering schools need to improve and update their knowledge, skills and attitudes in order to demonstrate their ability to guarantee the learning process of students under the requirements of engineering education standards such as CDIO or ABET

One implication is that a team of engineering technology students workingon a project is more likely than a team of engineering students to identify multiple approaches toa task or problem. Given the profile of the engineering students, they are more likely to be like-minded in problem solving and learning. There is a growing body of literature (see for exampleLeonard and Strauss14) that suggests organizations benefit when individuals are comfortable andcompetent at working with diversity in problem solving

It is a commonphilosophy among management courses, that conflicts occur in the beginning of the formation of ateam as members stumble around to find their niche and challenge each other’s knowledge andauthority. However, it is important to understand that conflict is normal and necessary to create aninnovative group of engineers.
