Storytelling as an Effective Mean for Stimulating Students' Passion in Engineering ClassesAbstractStorytelling was employed as a powerful tool in stimulating students' interest in the classroom ofa sophomore level course in engineering design. Over two years, students’ assessment of themethodology was obtained through a survey that incorporated students that have and not havetaken the course. The outcome of students’ satisfaction and support of telling stories by theinstructor was overwhelming among both groups of students. The impact was not targetedtowards just creating passion in the classroom, but the active participation and reflection on thestories was sought to lead to ethical values pedagogy. To gain multi-cultural

Questions in the questionnairewere formulated so that the audience had the opportunity not only to choose from a range ofresponses, but also to express their opinion in free form. The survey was attended by more than 80per cent of trainees.The analysis of the trainee results and comments revealed "narrow" places of the programs andways of their improvement, and confirmed that all four training programs constitute an

Page 20.31.6Education Services, and one of their directors served as the moderator for the program. This seminar included students from several disciplines, including 15 STEM students.While the number of STEM “in-person” attendees is small, students who attended the seminardiscussed their opinions with students who did not attend through our “Professors BeyondBorders” online discussion group. The responses from the online discussions reflected thesentiments of the 15 STEM graduate students who attended this seminar in person. Figure1shows that 93% of the participants felt that the seminar gave then important information; inaddition, Figure 2 shows that 60% of the students who attended the seminar gained a morecomprehensive understanding

Specifically, wewanted to answer the following questions: 1) How did the teachers stack up against one another? 2) Were there any factors that united or separated them? 3) Did their words reflect a shift toward the exposure of student reasoning or did they remain firmly rooted in the delivery of content? 4) In what ways can we characterize words that open a window on students’ minds

The urban areas selected reflect the geographically diverse nature of the teams:Ahmadabad (India), Seoul (Korea), Shanghai (China), Monterrey (Mexico), and Cincinnati(USA). Each team was responsible for its own team organization, project management, interimdeliverables and timeline, communications, and team-building activities. The Global JudgingTeam (comprising members from GM, University of Cincinnati, and University of Sao Paulo)defined the project deliverables. The judging criteria involved four areas: 1) market research, 2)design, 3) engineering, and 4) manufacturing.Our team was Team 2, composed of teams from Inha University-Engineering (South Korea),Monash University-Industrial Design (Australia
