They seemed to have an implicit model for what creativity was (namely, aninternal cognitive act) and how it should be taught (using a traditional didactic approach), butthey felt they lacked the content of what should be conveyed within that model of creativityeducation. In other words, creativity was like statics or circuits, with a handful of orientingprinciples and problem-solving protocols that could be identified, conveyed discretely, practiced,mastered, cumulated, and ultimately integrated with other engineering analytic skills. What Ipresented about what made PDI students creative and successful problem solvers bothmisaligned with what my engineering peers

Beginning inthe fall of 2016, in response to needs for increased support for the development of professionaland communication skills, a co-instructor in the field of technical communication was added tothe course series. For the past two years, the co-instructors (one in technical design and projectmanagement and the other specializing in professional communications and writtendocumentation) have worked together to develop an integrated curriculum that appliestransformative learning pedagogies and evidence-based best practices to support student success.Before coming into the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (EECS

ResultsEach of the four stated goals was achieved to some degree. A survey was given to bothparticipants and volunteers. The survey in winter 2017 had a 95% response rate. The survey inspring 2017 had a very low response rate (~10%) because we tried waiting until the subsequentterm to see how reaction results were affected by the increase in time and the perspective itbrings. The low response rate was an unintended side effect of this delay. Survey results aresummarized in Table 1.Indirect measures indicate that the students and volunteers believe that ECE Design Daysallowed participants to integrate knowledge from across their curriculum. The ECE Design Daysvolunteers consisted of upper-year students, faculty, and staff. The student participants

The goal of the program is to develop the next generation ofinterdisciplinary scientists poised to make significant advances in materials discovery andenergy-related materials design. Twelve faculty members from 6 departments (Materials Scienceand Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering andComputer Science, Physics, and Chemistry) encompass the project team. Student participants areselected from these six disciplines. The program aims to train 80+ graduates in the five years ofthe program [2, 3].The curriculum

In particular, improvements instudent performance in engineering courses has been linked to the integration of an activelearning environment into the classroom [3], [4], [5]. This is well documented and it should notbe surprising that an active learning approach is especially beneficial for engineering students.One of the primary means of
