). Engineering practitioners spend more time gatheringinformation, considering alternatives, and perhaps most importantly, designing. The result ofthese differences in activity patterns are reflected in the overall quality of the design.Additionally, research in problem solving has shown that even through practice, engineeringstudents often struggle with the transfer of learned information to new situations (Venters &McNair, 2010).Consequently, research has shown that engineering graduates are ill-prepared for the workplaceand the complex open-ended problems that are typical of engineering design (Collins, 2008;Education et al., 2005). The problems engineering students solve in school are thought to requirethe same fundamental concepts that

In particular, Fayard and Weeks (2011) stressthat people always interpret what are the appropriate behaviors in a space (e.g., in a librarypeople tend to be silent or speak in a low voice) and that these interpretations often reflect anorganization’s culture.The role of culture is also highlighted in research on makerspaces, especially through the senseof community makerspaces promote and nurture: “Participants often refer to the space as

lessons we learned throughout the process aswell. First was the use of a kick-off event. We learned quickly that it was easier to get studentsto attend a kick-off event where they could learn about the competition, find teammates, and signup, than it was to ask students to directly sign up. We also recognize that it is important to havea solid timeline before the competition begins. That timeline should reflect both the dates thecompetitors will need to submit their deliverables, and also the dates of the workshops and otherevents. In planning this competition our original schedule, given out at the kickoff, set theworkshops for a specific week, and the actual date was given out a week or so before hand.

The first PP task was assigned using a set templateprovided to the students. The most common source of grade penalty was failure to use/follow theassigned template. This might seem a minor issue, but the students were admonished that thevalue of following the explicit instructions should not be underestimated in the success inEngineering College or any other career path.Most students had previous experience using Word.

turn can be used to identify asolution. Engineering educators tend to treat “society” as a distinctly separate silo fromengineering itself. This is not to say that society isn’t discussed within the engineeringclassroom, but it is often framed as a linear progression -- something is engineered, then it hasan impact on society. This is reflected in the 2016-2017 ABET outcome H: “the broad educationnecessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic,environmental, and societal context.” The very language of this statement indicates societalcontext is seen as relevant, but distinctly separate, from engineering solutions.Similarly, students’ lived experiences are typically contained in a separate silo.

found useful to reflect upon before attempting to adapt/developany materials for the new format. For example: 1) What types of content and learning outcomes should the students be responsible for outside of the classroom versus in the classroom? How and when will that content be delivered? 2) Should the entire class period be devoted to active learning or would the students benefit from starting with a brief (e.g. 10-15 minute) lecture first to review important or challenging concepts, prior to transitioning to activities for the remainder of the class time? 3) Will the students be tested on (e.g. online or in-class quizzes) or otherwise held accountable for pre-class content, prior to starting the in-class

studies may have lesspatience towards changes in instructional methods and may find initial attempts at incorporatingactive learning disorganized [12]. This frustration with perceived disorganization was alsoreflected in the survey comments from older students, including that of the 20-year old studentquoted above. They were more likely to find the active learning sessions, especially those whichdid not include problem-solving exercises, as “busy work” and unnecessary for their success inthe class and may reflect differences in motivational factors and preferred learning environmentsnoted by some researchers [32], [33].

I really appreciate how Dr. Ghosh focuses on making sure youunderstand the physical reasons behind the math and formulas.I think his grading appropriately reflects his teaching/testing style, which I like. Dr. Ghosh wants peopleto understand his material on an intimate, conceptual level which requires tests and quizzes be moredifficult because you cannot simply rely on knowing formulas. He therefore is quite lenient with gradingand awarding points to wrong answers that he believes were conceptually on the right track. He asks alot from his students but does not punish a more difficult style of teaching/learning with harsh grading, ifthat makes sense…References[1] E. C Hensel and A. Ghosh, “A

Through design projects,the inclusion of industry partners in the education process will enhance the education provided tothe students and better reflect the expectations of industry [11].
