Internal Combustion Engine Laboratory 5 Yes YesProjects tend to fall into a number of categories. Certain courses in the curriculum did notinitially have a lab component connected to them. Projects 3,4,7,8, and 11 in Table 3 fall into thiscategory. The Internal Combustion Engine course originally had no hands on components. Theprofessor who teaches this course also advises capstone design teams, and thus was in a uniqueposition to champion a series of projects that would directly benefit his course. This course hadvery little physical space that could be dedicated to lab equipment. This is also an electivecourse, with a maximum of 30 students per offering, which means that there was not a lot ofinstitutional

inacademia was a concern that was brought up by multiple participants. More specifically, theparticipants noted that there are inconsistencies in what credits transfer from military experienceinto an engineering curriculum. A couple of the assets that were brought up during the sessionincluded, “vet populations are diverse and understand diversity,” and that student veterans are“very task-oriented compared to peers.”Funding. Another concern for SVEs surrounds funding. Some of the participants brought up the“lack of transparent alternate funding,” and “only 36 months of funding (initially)”. Oneparticipant brought up “GI Bill Logistics” as a barrier to academic success for SVEs. Thiscomment sits in juxtaposition with the comments noting VA

Students may accept a summer-only assignment or they may extend theirtime-to-degree by working on a co-op assignment during the academic year.The HTOL course was designed to resolve the problem that few students in the Department ofChemical Engineering participated in the engineering co-op program because it hinderedprogress through the department’s curriculum.

Weare thus presented with a shared dilemma: how do both educators and industry decide whichsoftware application(s) to acquire?Software acquisition and adaptation decisions often involve comparing alternatives of severalcriteria.

The inclusion of engineering design at all grade levels in theNext Generation Science Standards calls for efforts to create learning opportunities for teachersto learn to teach engineering. In our research on the role of engineering in elementary teacherpreparation, we ask, what learning goals do new elementary teachers take up when asked to doengineering design themselves, and what learning goals do they establish when setting upengineering design tasks for students?We conducted an interpretive comparative case study with two purposefully selected cases,chosen to unpack contrasting epistemological framing of engineering.
