six groups of4 (approximately) members each. The instructor meets with each team individually and discusses theirquestions and explains to them how specific questions can be clarified and improved. Although, theentire activity from start to finish is carefully monitored by the instructor with continuous feedbackand grading of team-performance, independent team work and individual responsibility are alsoemphasized. This activity can be replicated in other CGT courses as well other disciplines. The resultssuggest that it can be an effective means to strengthen CG course pedagogy. This approach willfacilitate assessment of tactile learning methods in CGT course curriculum and help with a continuous‘Course Improvement Plan’. Ultimately this

In 1970, Harvey Mudd integrated bold reforms thatemphasized connections across disciplinary boundaries, emphasized “the human basis of alltechnical problems,” and encouraged students to cultivate humility in appreciating the limitationsof their knowledge: “Insist that tools take you only so far” [11].

-semester integrated systems design experience. AbstractEngineering is design. In the last 20-25 years, senior level capstone design courses have becomehighly visible at most engineering universities. They serve a key role in teaching students aboutdesign, recruiting new engineers, and maintaining accreditation. They represent an opportunityfor the students to transition from coursework to successfully executing a practical designproject. This transition is quite useful for graduating students who will be entering theworkforce.However, the senior level capstone experience leaves many educational opportunitiesunaddressed or undeveloped.

Paper ID #24767Improving Inclusivity and Diversity in College STEM Programs through Metacog-nitive Classroom PracticesDr. Elizabeth Hane, Rochester Institute of Technology Dr. Elizabeth Hane is a forest ecologist, and an associate professor in the Gosnell School of Life Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology. She also serves as the Faculty Associate to the Provost for General Education, and advises RIT’s provost on issues surrounding general education curriculum and delivery. Her research focus has recently shifted from ecology to developing methods that support the retention of underrepresented students in
sanitation, as well as sustainability solutions, through interdisciplinary approaches. Since joining the Olin College faculty she has also dived into the field of engineering education with an emphasis on integration of arts, humanities, and STEM. Her love of learning was first fostered by an unusual elementary school education that was deeply inter- disciplinary with a substantial arts curriculum. After graduating from Harvard University with a B.A. in Dramatic Literature, she worked professionally in theater and wrote and recorded two musical albums. She then returned to school to study engineering, earning a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Rutgers Uni- versity in 2011. While completing her degree at Rutgers, she wrote

. Students participate in labs through which they gain hands-on experience inmilling, turning, forming, welding, and sand casting, among other manufacturing processes. Additionally,through several iterations of an individual project, each student builds a functional, high-fidelity, well-finished prototype of their own design. Drawing from Dewey alongside Lave and Wenger’s theories oflearning through experience and participation in communities of practice, we observe how students engagetheir mind, hands, and heart in a makerspace environment and the subsequent changes that they experience.We hypothesize that greater integration of students’ mind, hands, and heart is associated with increasedengineering task self-efficacy, innovation self-efficacy
