education.12 In literature, themost popular way of integrating real-world problem solving, especially in multidisciplinaryteams, seems to be through capstone design courses. As of 2005, roughly 35% of undergraduatecapstone design projects were conducted in multidisciplinary teams of students (an increase from21% in 1994).6 Evidence has shown, both qualitatively and quantitatively, that students benefitgreatly from working in multidisciplinary settings. Survey results show that engineeringprofessionals associate interdisciplinary thinking with creativity in their peers and ratemultidisciplinary work as very important in preparation for industry.7 Similarly, students whoparticipated in a multidisciplinary capstone course identified functioning in a

Program solicitations and program descriptions from the National ScienceFoundation were selected over two three year periods one decade apart: 2003-2005 and 2013-2015. Programs focused primarily on undergraduate engineering education were selected. Thusgraduate focused programs that overlapped engineering education—e.g. Integrative GraduateEducation and Research Training (IGERT)—were excluded as were Graduate ResearchFellowships. Programs focused on technician training—e.g. Advanced Technology Education—and K-12 focused programs were also excluded as were those focused on a

The 10-weeksummer program focuses on engineering education research on self

With a focus on K-12 participants, this researchbroadens our understanding of the role that informal educational communities and networks playin supporting identity formation. The inclusion of STEM Academy alumni will broaden ourunderstanding of STEM persistence through transitions from high school to college.

Her initial thought was,the CIQs would encourage students to reflect on their learning while informing the instructorabout the students’ learning experiences. The data collected by the instructor indicated studentsbiggest frustration was with 1) the first site visit report (course assignment requiring that theyapply sustainability evaluation on a real site), and 2) with the amount of new knowledge theyacquired.The CIQ was offered as an integrated part of a five-week long online course, offered to studentsfrom three majors: construction management, architecture, and agricultural engineering.

about the online experience and the efficacy of it.In the further comments section of the survey that was distributed to respondents, they had manycomments about their graduate experience. The following comments were specifically related toonline coursework: Student 1: My wife is in the military so having a flexible 100% online curriculum was the most important to me. Student 2: Engineering online is a great program for engineers looking to complete a masters degree while working full time. I have really enjoyed it and can say nothing bad about the program. Student 3: This is my first online degree that I'm taking, so it is an interesting learning curve compared to physically being in class
proposed curriculum should be designed with a “veryholistic approach” of “mindfully considering all the aspects that go into how to train an engineer,because it's not all about what courses they need to complete.” Others echoed this desire forrevised or redesigned engineering curriculum for undergraduate students that better suited theirneeds as diverse modern-day engineers.As with the pedagogies employed in individual engineering classrooms, participants providedtheir thoughts on engineering Curricular Policy Changes and Discussions.

Using this successful framework as a model,four sustainability modules were designed and mapped to select EOP learning objectives and delivered tostudents throughout the 4-year College of Engineering (COE) curriculum, one course module per gradefrom first-year to senior year.

days to 3 days when participants learned and practiced on feasible projects for implementation; laser cutting, additive manufacturing, and surface characterization were chosen. • A project was implemented for participants to integrate and practice design process and fabrication methods. Modification to improve performance of small Stirling engine model was introduced during the second summer, and problem solving with an inexpensive drone was implemented during the third summer. • Attendance and passiveness were observed with some participants in the first summer. Routine clicker assessment was implemented to confirm the participants’ understanding. The program also included assessments after
success in engineering. Examples of spatial tasksinclude visualizing the 3D object that results from folding up a flat pattern or the 2D cross-section that results from cutting a 3D object or the 2D orthographic views of a 3D object. Whilespatial ability is clearly relevant to an engineering graphics course, studies have indicated thathigher performance in math and chemistry courses also correlate with higher spatial skill level.The correlation between spatial ability and performance in a statics or other engineeringmechanics course however is less clear. More data are needed to provide stronger conclusions inthis area.By identifying the role of spatial reasoning in engineering mechanics courses, like statics andmechanics of materials
