Student led workshops arepresented as the start of a systemic series of extracurricular design learning experiences.IntroductionThe number of academic makerspaces has grown rapidly in the last five years. Many of thesespaces focus on developing engineering design skills and nurturing a design thinking mindset byproviding students with space, resources, and training. Extracurricular activities have beenshown to play an important role in design and innovation learning, particularly in makerspaces[1]. Moreover, peer-to-peer learning in classroom and project-based courses like senior capstonedesign have been found to play a

In this paper, we sought to quantify changes in studentcreativity that resulted from participation in a mechanical engineering course targeted atintegrating engineering, technology, and the arts. The course was team taught by instructors frommechanical engineering and art. The art instructor introduced origami principles and techniquesas a means for students to optimize engineering structures. Through a course project, engineeringstudent teams interacted with art students to perform structural analysis on an origami-based artinstallation, which was the capstone project of the art instructor’s undergraduate origami course.Three engineering student teams extended

The fourth years offered brief presentations on theirtechnical capstone projects, as well as the human and social dimensions that were critical tothose projects. Then the fourth years engaged in informal conversations with the first-yearsabout the requirements for the different majors, types of capstone projects offered and futurecourses that addressed the human and societal aspects of engineering. The Discussion Sectionswere seen as a great opportunity to foster deliberation between the incoming and outgoingstudents about the relevance of the course and the need to consider human and societal factorsduring the engineering and design processes

In this paper, the student responses from three semesters of freshmenlevel design classes are evaluated for involvement and self-efficacy based on whether or not a 3Dmodeling project requires the use of makerspace equipment. The study finds that students requiredto use the makerspace for the project were significantly more likely to become involved in themakerspace.These results inspired us to integrate a qualitative approach to examine how student involvementand exposure to

undergraduate civil engineering programs address sustainability, it tends to belimited to individual courses, and resiliency concepts are rarely incorporated. To address theseshortcomings, we are incorporating sustainability and resiliency conceptual threads and activitiesthroughout our curriculum, from our first-year engineering course through senior design.To understand the effectiveness of this initiative, at the beginning of this project we conductedinterviews with senior civil engineering students to collect baseline data on our current students’views and understanding of sustainability and responsibility. Thematic analysis of theseinterviews suggests that there is significant variability in students’ understanding ofsustainability, with some
