articulations of engineering knowledge with engineering education. Thatwork appears in tension with students’ differentiation of the highly theoretical world of engineeringschool from their more practical perception of engineering work [7,8]. These perceptions exist aboutthings external to students and provide insight into students’ epistemological boundaries – representinginformation about what the student counts as engineering knowledge [2]. Both individuals and groups ofindividuals hold beliefs about epistemological boundaries, and those boundaries interact.In planning this study, we were especially interested in which disciplinary perspectives studentsmajoring in biomedical engineering drew on in defining engineering.

Across the Tampa bay, the Pinellas School District, responsible for 150 schools,started a lead testing program in 2016.Based on personal communication with Florida State University faculty leading testing in LeonCounty, there will be calls for installation of water filters on kitchen faucets and water fountainsin all Florida schools.This local wicked problem resonated with students as many attended the schools in the districtand some had young children who attend or are

that 52 percent of the supervisorsviewed the writing preparation of early career engineers as weak. This paper investigates a model for larger engineering departments that differssignificantly from the two common ones discussed above. This third model consists of a full-fledged writing course embedded within a large engineering design course that has 150 – 200students each semester. While small departments have attempted similar integrations with fewerthan 50 students [7, 8], this paper presents the second year of an experiment to do so at a largerscale with currently 75 students in the writing course and plans to scale to more than 100. Oneexample in the literature of such an effort has occurred at MIT [9]. Although this courseprovided

properly define the problemand formulate a plan [4].Kohl’s work on representations in Physics is related because it shows differences in how novicesand experts solve problems [1]. The difference is that novices tend to use more representationsand switch between them more often. Experts tend to use fewer representations and solve theproblem in a more straightforward way. This work will focus on the first representations used byexperts and novices.Previous work has been done in starting design problems. Yang et. al. studied the relationshipbetween early stage design activity and design outcome. Aspects of design such as sketching,dimensioned drawings, prototyping, designer experience, and time spent were correlated withdesign success [5] [6]. It was

The instructor observedthat a disconnect exists in his course between learning about the various project managementtools and techniques and how these are applied in engineering technology professions underconstraints such as cost, quality, safety, etc. Although the students learn how to create schedules,budgets, and risk management plans, they never learn if these management plans work becausethey don't get the opportunity to implement them.
