enrolled in Engineering Management (EM), Industrial and SystemsEngineering (ISE), and Mechanical Engineering (ME) degree programs at Stevens Institute ofTechnology during a third-year required engineering design course. These students make up thefirst cohort of a two-year study. The EM and ISE students are taught in a combined section of 23students (referred to as Section A), where market-driven design is highlighted throughout thecurriculum and multiple assignments are collected and analyzed. The ME students are taught intwo sections of approximately 54 students each (Sections B and C). In Section A, 43 percent ofthe students identified as female and 35 percent as non-white, which is typical of nationalengineering student ethnicity demographics

areas of study and directions for future research. Thus, the purpose of this contentanalysis is to explore (a) the thematic trends of ASEE gaming conference papers over time and(b) the semantic relationships between concepts.MethodsContent Analysis MethodologyContent analysis is a research procedure for making reproducible and valid interference byanalyzing text or other media 11 . This definition is relatively similar to the description provided byHolsti nearly five decades ago, as ”any technique for making inferences by objectively andsystematically identifying specified characteristics of messages” (p. 14) 12 . Content analysis haspreviously been conducted by time-consuming manual processing, such as hand coding text. Withthe development of
ofthree NGSS disciplinary core ideas (ETS1.A, ETS1,B, and ETS1.C) that relate to the three-stepNGSS engineering design process. More information about these topics can be found on theirstandards summary page [34].The working draft of the assessment instrument contained at total of 17 items, some of whichwere supplementary assessment measures and alternate, short form, versions of the ADE items.These consisted of ten selected-response items focused on concepts represented in NGSSstandards MS-ETS1 and MS-ETS1-2. We also designed four simple problem-solving itemsaimed at capturing indications of students’ ability to make use of the engineering design process,touching to elements in both NGSS standards MS-ETS1-3 and MS-ETS1-4, and cross
one’s skills and experiences beyond the classroom. Astudy was conducted at NYU Tandon School of Engineering and found students lack support inidentifying and developing their career pathways. This study indicates that a combinede-portfolio and micro-credentialing platform could benefit students by a) providing students witha tool to reflect on and showcase their experiences, b) matching students with upper-class andalumni mentors in career pathways they are interested in, and c) providing them with curatedlists of on-campus and experiential opportunities and micro-credentials that would support theircareer pathways.IntroductionEvery student’s experience through engineering school culminates in different results -- students’future pathways range

[3] posit that gaining conceptual knowledge in engineering science is a vitalfactor in the development of competence and expertise as professional engineers.As recommended by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET),technical skills are one of the attributes that an engineering student must obtain by the time ofgraduation [12]. The term technical skills encompass the knowledge and abilities required toperform a specialized task. These skills are practical and have real-world applications. Forstudents to develop these critical skills, engineering faculty must teach

the recitation would be devoted to students working on special homework problems(“section problems”) which we describe next.Each week, one of the students’ homework problems, written by E. B., was more authentic than a typicaltextbook problem. Students would be required to make their own assumptions and set their own designcriteria, and might have to look up information to solve the problem (i.e. in handbooks, published researcharticles, etc.). In general, they would have to make design decisions with limited information, just as anengineer would do in the workplace. An example problem is in Figure 1. These section problems were 50%of students’ weekly homework grades. Students would be given 15 minutes in section each week to workon these

It includes an adjustableframe adjusted by wing nuts and one bolt for securing the machine (figure 2b). Making the guard adaptableallows the operator to set the exact amount of belt he or she needs to be exposed, ultimately reducing thework envelope and reducing the contact with the belt.

Even with a more complicated and difficultsetting for the game, the improvements in both the reports and the game result is very significantand a great way for the students to experience this increase in knowledge themselves as well.The goal of the course is to broaden the insight of maritime technology and economics studentsin the direction of each other. This has been translated into a set of learning goals, which arecovered by the five elements of the course as can be seen in Table 1. The first two learning goals(a,b) relate to the more technical aspects of the course. Learning

Hence,design thinking in engineering situate students’ ideas within the realities and helps themgenerating feasible products using the engineering knowledge out of the routinized, formalizedway of thinking. Engineering design thinking process as an effective problem-solving algorithm includesseven iterative stages [15], [23]: (a) identify the need and formulate the problem, (b) identify/search for solutions for similar cases in the past, (c) use knowledge and creativity to generatenew ideas, (d) evaluate and decide on the best idea: iterate until there is only one solutionconcept left, (e
