Thus, the project is a part of the curriculum in that students aregiven project options and must use software, design techniques, and presentation skills tosuccessfully complete the project following the steps of the engineering design process. Studentteams were able to self-select between three different semester long project options.Since two evaluations were done, the main purpose was to assess how engineering students’feelings of self-efficacy changes before a semester-long project versus after the fact regardingthe engineering design process and determine whether documenting this process made an impacton feelings of confidence, success, motivation, and anxiety

Being agood designer is a hallmark trait of an engineer and design curriculum is an integral componentof engineering education programs. As noted above, success in product design is elusive as 40%or more of products introduced to the marketplace fail to find success1.Concepts from systems engineering have been applied in developing a series of value-connectedviews (tables and diagrams) that have been applied in design courses at all levels22.

This may involve predicting, experimenting, critiquing, or making an argument from evidence. • Analyze: Students begin to develop higher order thinking. They may be asked to compare and contrast or take a concept and break it into parts to explore the relationships present. • Apply: At this level, students begin to put the information they are learning into context. Here they are able to integrate ideas across multiple situations, or utilize the content in a new way. • Understand: At this level, students demonstrate that

Thesecan be expressed in variable form for an incompressible Newtonian fluid as:𝜌( 𝑉⃑ + 𝑉⃑ ⋅ ∇𝑉⃑ ) = −∇𝑃 + 𝜌𝑔⃑ + 𝜇∇ 𝑉⃑ (1)These equations are 2nd order, non-linear differential equations, which is conceptuallyoverwhelming. Even when these equations are simplified, it is difficult to translate themathematical expression into a mental picture of the physical reality. This is true even for manyfaculty who have worked with these equations over the course of a career.

Comments such as “give me your curriculum,” “tell me what I need todo,” and “never mind the why; just tell me how” are commonplace in our experiences ofcurricular culture change [8]. These requests elide the necessity of context-appropriateadaptation, an integral part of curricular culture change.In contrast, our second frame acknowledges learning and culture transfer as a process ofsupported practice, sensemaking, and growth.

this approach as “advising as teaching.” [2,3, 6] Student ownership over their curriculum and academic experience is a central outcome ofdevelopmental advising, which charges advisors to help students integrate career and academicgoals and address their unique challenges and desires. [2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9] Developmental advisinghas been shown to increase student sa?sfac?on and reten?on, partly because of the personalconnec?on with a mentor. [2, 9] In 2008, Janine M.

The role of design inan engineering curriculum is a key factor contributing to its success [1]. Engineering design projectsprovide students with a broad view related to the material presented in lectures. Through project-basedlearning, students are encouraged to assume responsibility for their learning experience and to shift from apassive to an active learning style [2,3].

. Boelter rose to the position of Associate Dean by1943. The earliest proposal to offer an engineering curriculum at the Los Angeles campus datedback to 1937, but it was only in the context of war preparedness that the University of CaliforniaRegents finally authorized an engineering degree program in 1941, initially in industrialtechnology. It was through direct legislative intervention, as backed by a special appropriation aswell as through the vocal support of a UCLA alumni organization, that UC President RobertGordon Sproul was compelled to open a new College of Engineering at UCLA in 1944. Involvedin the planning process, Boelter placed himself in the candidate pool for the deanship.11Boelter is generally credited with pioneering a unified
