Giventhe potential for strong impact on engineering students’ experiences, and faculty resourcelimitations, we sought to elucidate if some behaviors have a higher potential for impact thanothers, and if so, which faculty behaviors may best contribute to building faculty-student rapport.With these insights, engineering faculty can be trained to selectively focus on those which areexpected to have the greatest return on investment. To support the primary aim, students frommultiple disciplines in an engineering college were surveyed and asked to rank their perceptionsof faculty behaviors that best establish rapport with

It is interesting to note, however, that resources such as design guides, standards, andother resources that a practicing engineer may look to for design guidance were not mentioned ordiscussed. This may point to an opportunity to increase students’ awareness of such resources,where to find them, and how they can be used. Theme 4.

A variety of research has been conducted tocatalog the positive impacts of makerspaces especially as it relates to engineering education. Ascampuses develop makerspaces, they have used the spaces as a type of laboratory to test theimpact of projects and courses related to making.

Capstone design courses are also considered an “high impact” instructional practice(AACU, 2008).There are many characteristics of a capstone design class that can vary substantially frominstitution to institution including team characteristics (i.e. size, organization, multidisciplinary),length of the course (one semester or multiple semesters), type of projects, and integration withindustry partners. While there are many student level surveys of senior capstone experiences (G.Padmanabhan, 2018; Saleh, 2011; Brouwer, et. al, 2011; Aidoo et. al, 2013; Nelson et. al, 2014;Shah et

Approximately 29 students took part in this program during the summer of 2019,culminating in a presentation to their peers and faculty mentors, and members of the Dean’sAdvisory Board for the school.It is hypothesized that the process and completion of the research or design project through theprogram positively impacted the students’ confidence and self-efficacy.

However, it is clear that humaninteraction with their teammates, mentors, community partner(s), etc. and reflection writing helpthem to articulate some level of empathy.

Course objectives for both the capstone design project and the earliercourses featuring internal combustion engine design shared some internal combustion engineknowledge objectives. By requiring students to 3D model conceptual cylinder heads, theybecame more engaged in the cylinder head design best practices and became more knowledgeabout engine development issues. This is reflected in the open-ended quiz questions that areoutside the intended scope of this paper. The broader take-home lesson is that the whatever 3Dmodeling assessment is performed, ideally it can be tied to other subject
