adaptive group (KAI scores of 71, 72, 73, 75, and 78;mean of 74) presented their results in exceptionally neat columns in clear block lette ring withvery little extraneous information. The most innovative group (KAI scores of 105, 105, 107,109, 118; mean of 109), on the other hand, presented their results in various colors, with arrowsand annotations sprawled across columns, with various s hadings and cross-hatchings, andgenerally in a much more free-flowing style. These observed differences, even in the style ofpresentation, are typical of those expected based on KAI scores.Journaling AssignmentAt the close of the KAI feedback session, the students were assigned a journaling project inwhich they were asked to record their impressions of their
communication with alarge number of outside customers. On the whole, the faculty and students are satisfiedwith this project as a suitable capstone for the first-year course.Acknowledgements:The authors would like to acknowledge the work of all of the faculty in ENGR 100 aswell as the students and customers that made this project possible.

the initial and final (DREAM Day) I.I.’s were included in theanalysis. Comparing the DREAM Day data from KIPP mentees to the control taken post-DREAM showed that mentees outscored non-mentees on all four questions of interest(Q1,Q2,Q4,Q5). Interestingly, non-mentees post-scores were significantly higher than menteespre-scores on Q1 (74.1% versus 54.8%) and Q4 (70.4% versus 50.0%), suggesting that DREAMmay be attracting mid or lower performing students at KIPP. Differences between non-menteespost-scores and mentees pre-scores were not significant on Q2 and Q5. 100 100 AHS 78.3 80.8

participation resulted in a maturingof the course and expectations which has continued into the present. The overall effect of theprogram on design at UT Austin is detailed in a paper by Fowler, et.al. [2].During the early 1990’s the author also offered a graduate level spacecraft – mission designcourse. The graduate students produced a document that characterized spacecraft subsystems foruse by the undergraduate design students. This document was used by regularly undergraduateteams until internet access became common, and the information was readily available on theweb.

work remains to be done in more fully understanding the relationship between writing andlearning, particularly in order to help faculty develop assignments to support specific types oflearning.Bangert-Drowns et al.’s review five years later reflects similar processes and gaps [48]. Theirsystematic review examined hundreds of articles on writing-to-learn written over the pasthundred years, though as they note the majority of these articles were written in the 1980s and1990s. After a rigorous evaluation process that allowed them to identify a core set of articles thatprovided empirical evidence of the academic effects of writing-to-learn assignments againstcontrol groups without those assignments, the authors conducted a statistical meta

Sometimes theyresulted in ridiculous meaning, as in this example where the students are literally saying thatflood waters will stop and speak with a geologist before reaching the flood stage: After conversations with Jim Wheeler of the Geology Department, the 100yr flood event will likely have a flowrate of approximately 2700 ft3/s…Other sentence-structure errors were compounded by students’ use of complex sentences. Theyresulted in ungrammatical sentences whose meaning is discernible but not clearly stated, as inthis example from a lab report: But the brittleness of each coupon varied with coupon #3 having little necking and being the most brittle of the three coupons, coupon #13 had more necking than #3 but less than #7 and

& i s − ∑ m& o s + S&GEN dt T in outA consequence of all the kinetics principles being taught in ES201 is that in ES204 the materialcan be reordered so that as kinematics concepts are taught they can immediately be applied tokinetics problems thereby motivating the kinematics and reinforcing the kinetics. For example,when normal and tangential coordinates are introduced for particles, problems involving kineticscan be solved. These problems may involve one or more of the conservation principles. Anotheradvantage of this approach is that students are required to apply the principles “out-of-context”.Typically in Dynamics students know what principle to apply based on the topic
progressand should invest in the graduate research-oriented education of its future scientists. Fourth, thatthe most effective way to advance science and technology was to award research funds to themost capable universities in the nation, which were therefore the “generators” of the futuretechnology and its future scientists.12.2 The Traditional Model of EducationGraduate research education, funding, research faculty, and curricula to enrich the graduatescientific research path was largely built into the nation’s engineering schools in the 1960’s, 70’sand 80’s. Consequently, American engineering education has primarily patterned the science-driven model of graduate education that is in-place at the graduate level at the nation’s researchuniversities

So like I think and for the sake of like having more time, I think … it would have been more helpful if we'd started earlier on projectsInterestingly, even though most felt anxious about completing the projects in the time allotted,when interviewed at the end of the program, most of the participants felt that 9 weeks wasenough time for the SSEF. The most common feedback from the students was to move theproject and group selection earlier in the program so that expert talks could be arranged thatdirectly apply to their selected topic area(s) and/or to provide them more time for their projects.

for the app. Students individually used post-it-notes to identify potential users of theapp. Once completed, the students returned to their groups and identified a primary andsecondary user of the app.After exploring the users, students then went into ideation with an exercise called “How MightWe?” [18]. In this exercise students, using post-it-notes, generate ideas on how might they solvethe problem to meet the user needs identified in “Define”. Students then got the opportunity tomeet with Milwaukee Bucks representatives to ask questions to validate their thoughts on usersand how they might solve the problem.The next step was Sketching. Using the Crazy 8’s [19] method of sketching, students engaged intwo rounds of sketching where they
SDGs in light ofBiblical principles. Finally, students work in small groups to research one or several SDGs todetermine the importance of each topic, current progress toward each topic’s achievement, andprogress yet needed. As a follow-up assignment, students are asked to write a short paper orcreate a poster highlighting the SDG(s) they studied.Discipline-Specific Systems Thinking ModulesWith the final three topic areas (systems thinking, design, and communication & teamwork),multiple learning modules were developed for each relating the topics to specific applicationswithin the field of civil engineering. The first five modules of the SaS framework wereconstructed was to allow them to remain the same for any design discipline, while
