Active learning experiences are broadlydefined as activities that students do to further knowledge and understanding of a topic and canbe anything from brief pauses during lectures to allow for reflection to semester-long off-siteprojects. Active learning can be particularly beneficial for the most challenging aspects of acourse, such as the analysis of frames and machines in a statics and dynamics course for whichstudents must apply their knowledge of several previous topics to systems with complexstructures and multi-force member(s). Additionally, entrepreneurial mindset learning (EML) has been incorporated intoengineering programs. Through EML, student learn how engineering principles combinedcuriosity and a

This conceptualization may thencontinue to evolve throughout their design process and deeply impact the direction of their project.Therefore, the degree and depth to which the team attends or conceptualizes the complexity of theunderlying problem will likely affect the effectiveness, adaptability, and longevity of any resulting designsolution.

. This is the case when all team members are involved in the decision making process and participate in problem solving activities. Timely accomplishment of goals is greatly enhanced by having an agreed upon decision making process. Avoiding the “paralysis by analysis” problem is critical to the team‟s success. In some cases, decisions must be made by consensus. Once a decision has been reached, even through consensus, all team members must accept, own and support it. Appreciation and celebration for team‟s success is also important. Human beings want to be appreciated and valued for contributions. It is the leader‟s responsibility, in many cases, to ensure that this need is met. Working in a

At the time of the interview, she was a crashsafety engineer at a major automotive company.In describing her current role, Radha stressed how important it was to understand the impact herwork was going to have on other parts of the system. In her engineering context of crash safetytesting, this ‘system’ was the entire vehicle and its launch.

AbstractDesign tasks are ubiquitous, complex, ill-structured, and challenging to students and professionalengineering designers. Successful designing depends on having not only adequate knowledge butalso sufficient awareness and control of that knowledge, known as metacognition. Researchsuggests that metacognition not only enhances learning outcomes but also encourages students tobe self-regulated learners who are metacognitively, motivationally, and behaviorally activeparticipants in their learning process.This article evaluates the extent to which students‟ task interpretation of the design project isreflected in their working plans and monitoring/regulating strategies.

An unintended outcome was that thesample largely consists of women with high grade point averages. Thus, this paper offersinsight on top performing women‟s self-efficacy and

However, the quality of the projects (theirsturdiness, complexity) was not different among the groups.In the third session, the difference between the builders and the programmers was again clear.The builders would build structures and find a way to work in their mechanisms later, while theprogrammers would first build their mechanism(s) to be programmed and then later find a way toconnect it to a larger structure.

Title 5 § 40508 [1] states that “[a]s of the fall term of the 2014-2015 academic year, no baccalaureate degree programs shall extend the unit requirement beyond 120 semester units…” This mandate and short timeline for implementation necessitated swift action for proposals to be submitted and approved via campus curriculum committees and
