An alumni survey was administered six months after the conclusion of the summerprogram to check in on Catalyze teams.Survey questions were rated on a one-to-five Likert type scale with a 70% cutoff (a rating of3.5/5) to help evaluate effective program components. Surveys also included open-endedquestions to gather verbal responses to support numerical ratings.

In the context ofour work, a program called AerosPACE was developed not only as a senior capstone course, butalso to serve as a test bed.AerosPACE is an engineering education program developed by a large US aerospace company.The primary goal of this program is to bridge the gap between theory and application, (and tohelp students understand the

Another important considerationis the need to keep the attention of students from different engineering concentrations, as well as(in our case) a significant population of students enrolled in the College of Information &Technology. The latter group of students may have minimal interest or curiosity regardingengineering, and represent a challenge to win over their engagement in the class.There needs to be a balance between narrowing the scope of the assigned problem sufficiently toavoid students being unable to find a way forward, but having a sufficiently open-ended naturethat it reflects a

Not surprisingly, a recent survey admits that There is a lack of consensus on what exactly the flipped classroom is. [1]Flipping a course requires at least 3 actions, which can be seen as disruptive innovations: (1) Decide which “events that have traditionally taken place inside the classroom” will be moved outside the classroom, and explain to students how they benefit from this move (2) Create the new teaching events outside the classroom to ensure that the student learning

Project Cost and Value Previously this lesson was titled “Project Budgeting.” We revised the lesson’s title to “Project Cost and Value” to reflect that: 1) in the end, project sponsors care far more about how much the project cost than its original budget; and 2) the most important monetary consideration for project managers is delivering owner/sponsor-defined value. In this lesson, we spend considerable effort discussing project value. Effective project managers have thoughtful, probing discussions with project sponsors of project value.

There is a surprisingly highcorrelation between the two scores (R = 0.59, P = 0.002). However, this probably reflects the factthat those students who skipped quizzes also tended to skip classes and skipped turning in someassignments. The fact that three students did very well in the quizzes, but got a “C” in the courseindicates that there is no clear cause and effect.
