While each participant has his or her own task, to satisfy the customer requirements, theparticipants must work together as a team keeping in mind the big picture. Teamwork andcommunication skills are thus essential to the successful completion of the entire production. In a traditional physical simulation, the four students must sit in the same room andcomplete the production together. The simulations are part of an industrial engineering course

4123 class managed to control costs quite well. Using hangers instead of rebar was onearea of cost savings. The hangers were purchased for $0.13 each from a local dry cleaner. Theywere a heavy-gage galvanized hanger, with a cost less than $5.00 to provide one hanger to eachof the 33 students! Concrete materials were generously donated by the Civil Engineeringdepartment. Due to the small scale of the beams (4”x3”x16”) and the fact that students workedin groups of three ensured the material costs were so minimal, the Civil Engineering departmentdid not mind donating these materials. Steel forms from the Civil Engineering department werealso lent to our project, allowing us to save time and money by not constructing a one-time useform for the

Architecture and Urban Design from Columbia University. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Summer scholarship project: Designing and building a multi- purpose micro-farm structure as a pedagogical strategy for Architectural Engineering Technology studentsAbstractConstructing a full-scale mock-up is commonly used in the architectural industry, and it isinvaluable to the design outcome. It provides feedback on the appearance, scale, material, andconstructability. This process can also be adopted as a teaching strategy in a classroom,especially when considering that a hands-on learning experience increases student engagementand information retention.

As a discipline at the intersection of traditional engineering disciplines, “mechatronicsand robotics engineering” (MRE) is fast-growing and future-minded but suffers similar diversityand inclusion challenges as engineering broadly. This paper explores these challenges andidentifies unique opportunities inherent to MRE to 1) increase the participation of women andunderrepresented minorities (URM) in MRE, and 2) use MRE to increase the participation ofwomen and URM in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) broadly

With the hydraulic fracturing intervention, granting students the autonomy to conducttheir own research and guide peer collaboration fostered interest and engagement. Situating theactivity in the broader context of engineering in society helped students appreciate theirprofessional responsibility and understand the role of engineering in a systems perspective.The focus group analysis also indicated that the impact of an intervention is partially dependenton the context in which it is embedded. Engineering educators should be mindful of the coursecharacteristics (elective or compulsory and placement in the broader degree program) andstudent

practices, appliedscientific and mathematical content, and engineering habits of mind that working high schoolyouth engaged in while they were at work in different locations. Accordingly, the researchquestion guiding this study was: What engineering-related practices, scientific ormathematical content, and engineering habits of mind did high school youth engage inwhile at work? By identifying engineering-related practices, bodies of knowledge, and habits ofmind derived from youth’s workplaces, the purpose of this study was to lay the groundwork forthe development of educational programming which can leverage youth’s workplace-derivedskills and bodies of knowledge toward future engineering careers.

Engineering Education, 2020 Using Entrepreneurial Mindset Constructs to Compare Engineering Students and EntrepreneursAbstractCurrent efforts to transform engineering education vary in their intensity and direction. One areathat has gained considerable momentum in recent years is the effort to promote development ofan entrepreneurial mindset (EM) in undergraduate engineering students. A driving force behindthis momentum is the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN). KEEN is a group ofover 40 institutions united in the mission to promote entrepreneurial-minded learning inengineering students. In KEEN, EM is construed to have three primary components, the 3C’s ofCuriosity: Connection; and Creating Value. Recent efforts

Two secondary goals of the program that feed into thefirst include providing academic support through on-campus resources and constructing acommunity of learners. The learning strategies course promotes program goals by equippingstudents with effective personal and professional skills related to self-regulatory behaviors,learning strategies, and habits of mind, while simultaneously building their awareness ofavailable academic resources.Peer sharing presentations, the instructional practice that is the focus on this paper, allowstudents
a product by the end of the lesson. Students will need to be able to determine a community need in addition to designing and creating a smaller-scale example of their solution. They will need to keep in mind who t hey are designing for; it is not for themselves! Once complete, students will present their projects in an engineering exhibit, and evaluate each other’s solutions. Looking for more inspiration? You can prompt your students to design something more specific. For example: Have your students design a shelter for victims of natural disasters or political conflict. Have your students design a library for small villages without access to this resource. The possibilities are endless! Project Checklist: What are you trying
