Iapproach things.” Rowena saw the actions of engineers as expanding beyond “math andproblems you solve,” acknowledging that the course exposed her to “more opportunities than Ithought in engineering.” However, Marley’s description of engineering was simple: “Build it in away that won’t negatively impact that community.” This is not an indictment against engineers,but a simple expectation of what engineers do, or what they ought to do. Normative ideals of engineers and engineering include the “ought-to”s of the practice. Intheir descriptions of what engineers are, and their previous encounters with engineers andengineering, students had a specific normative vision as to what engineers ought to be and do.Milburn said, “They [Engineers] have a
research agenda that can propagate engineering educational innovations acrossthe community and to the other STEM fields. Hence, broader impacts will be fully realized uponactuation of the research agenda. However, this work moves beyond broader impacts in that itassists in meeting a national need to increase the U.S.’s economic competitiveness, the STEMworkforce, and potentially partnerships between academia and industry. It is in this latter sensethat the project clearly meets the national need to remain economically competitive.References:i American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). (2012).

. Domestic ProgramsAs for the technical competency of the graduates, the international programs were either at par orabove any comparable U. S. domestic programs. Students appeared to be better prepared whenthey started technology programs than most U.S. students entering technology programs. Theyappeared to be more serious and focused students. Very few students transferred from a differentmajor as more students change major in U.S. However, graduates from the internationalprograms seem to know less about other cultures and country. Faculty members overall had moreexperience in industry, but many lacked terminal degree in technical field.ConclusionWith overall superior programs and high graduate placement, author and other members of theteam

teamwork across disciplines aremultidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity. The two concepts have a great deal common, but mayentail slightly different outcomes for participants and for their projects.Briefly, in multidisciplinary work, collaborators work together on a problem. Each bringsexpertise, but, as Borrego and Newswander explain in their overview of cross-disciplinaryengineering collaboration, “collaborators leave the project without having learned much aboutthe other discipline(s). Each researcher continues on his or her own independent trajectory,unchanged by the experience [8].” This means that, while multidisciplinary work brings togetherpeople with different ways of conceptualizing and operating on problems, each takes on

How to design learning so it becomes natural,commonplace, even predictable?The show goes on to consider the role of the teacher:Now, you might think that this makes teachers unimportant. You'd be completely wrong. Theteacher is anything but a bystander. That's because it's the teacher who designs the world inwhich the student learns.The goal of this paper has been to present the design of a better box in which students can learn.The work is ongoing.References[1] L.

Students are asked in USC course evaluations tocomment on the most and least valuable aspects of a course. While not all students providecomments, responses from these two categories, related specifically to components of theredesigned course (labs, online homework, videos, etc.) are presented below.Table 1.
