In this paper, we focus on findings associated with facilitation using interview datafrom the first phase of the study. The overall study employs a mixed methods design(observations, interviews, and questionnaires) in two settings. At State U1, students select aspecific engineering department (biomedical for this study) before entering the university andparticipate in a well-established PBL-based course in their first-year. At State U2, students entera general engineering program that uses a project-based approach to integrate design projectsinto the first-year curriculum; we have

We expect that this analysis to be the most impactful 7in the future as the lived experiences that impact spatial ability can be translated into instructionalinterventions that can be applied in existing curricula in STEM disciplines. 6. Conclusion We trust our study will inform engineering education community in two ways: 1).Gaining a deeper insight on the intrinsic relationships between spatial thinking and STEMdisciplines. 2). Findings from this study can lead to clues on how to integrate elements of spatialthinking with engineering concepts and incorporating

The revision of the curriculum in 2001caused a redesign of the course and added some design experiences to further enhance theeducational process. This paper discusses the development of the new course calledInterdisciplinary Design and Manufacturing and discusses relationship of course coverage to theSME competency gaps. The manufacturing portion describes the lecture topics and laboratoryexperiments that were an integral part of the course.

Numerous studies have been conducted that demonstrate the efficacy of PBL inundergraduate engineering education5–7. Another approach called design-based learning (DBL)incorporates the concepts of PBL with an emphasis on the design process, and its origins can betraced to improving secondary science education8–10. In the past few decades, DBL’s conceptshave been integrated into engineering education. This learning approach prepares students tofunction in an engineering role by placing an emphasis on solving open-ended design problems.Wei et al. found

Clearly, design/buildprojects completed by small teams of students and which include both written reportingassignments and oral presentation requirements could help address the preparation shortfallsrevealed by the survey. With engineering up front, it was logical to put some of these designprojects into the freshman programs in addition to such projects traditionally positioned in thejunior and senior years of the curriculum.
