(NGOs) for theresearch, development, and implementation of solutions to address this sector’s most difficulttechnical challenges. Based on GWHF’s expertise, this partnership has focused on providingengineering support for their initiatives through senior design projects.Funding for this collaboration is provided from GWHF through a State Department EducationGrant. Thus, the primary goals of this relationship are to: 1) Develop globally-engaged engineering researchers. The engineering landscape has become international, thus requiring globally-engaged, globally-minded engineers1. Through the experience of working on an international, interdisciplinary project, students come away with the skills necessary to make a significant

specification fidelity, clerking and sourcing in theengineering process. We discuss implementation, outcomes, and student feedback to these real-world exercises.I. IntroductionEngineering projects need parts, and teaching the sourcing and procurement of parts within a 16-week course has the risk of incurring schedule and cost delays, but the benefit of immersing thestudent in the necessity for fidelity and ability to deal with under-defined real world problems aswell as handling human factors in communications. Teaching good sourcing and procurement ofparts in engineering leads to better senior project outcomes and better primes students for theirfuture jobs, as well as providing skills for entrepreneur-minded learners who thrive on real worldtasks.

A Deep Dive Faculty Workshop for Infusing the Entrepreneurial Mindset into the Engineering Core Curriculum Gary A. Gabriele, Drosdick Endowed Dean of Engineering Edmond Dougherty, Director, Engineering Entrepreneurship College of Engineering Villanova UniversityVillanova University’s College of Engineering (COE) has embarked upon a two-yearplan to substantially increase the number of full-time faculty who employentrepreneurially minded learning (EML) concepts in their undergraduate courses. Theplan is an extension of the College’s initiative to convert core curriculum courses to aninverted or flipped classroom format. The EML concepts come

particular approaches are in instilling the entrepreneurial mindset in engineering students.A survey was developed to determine how students’ participation in the various entrepreneurial learningopportunities impacted various facets of students’ entrepreneurially-minded thinking. Also, direct studentassessment was performed in the second junior-level course and senior-level course in the engineeringentrepreneurship minor program to assess their entrepreneurial skills.The survey was administered during the fall 2014 term to all 506 junior and senior engineering students.The response rate to the survey was 17% (although 132 students started the survey, only 86 completed itin its entirety). The direct assessments were performed during the final

Living in an International World: Assessing Students’ Global Awareness Somer Chipperfield, Kelly Yoder, Sadan Kulturel-Konak, Abdullah Konak Penn State Berks AbstractEngineers are now often working internationally and across diverse cultures in today’s globaleconomy. Therefore, students should become increasingly globally aware in order to be betterprepared for a career in an international knowledge-based society. Measuring students’ globalawareness is not a simple task. In this paper, our primary emphasis is on understanding Science,Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) students

Model of Domain Learning(MDL) to better suit their specific courses. Students can then use the web interface to evaluateboth themselves and fellow team members. After students complete their evaluations, instructorsare able to view the results through the system’s reports and can formulate an individual gradefor each student. More importantly, instructors also have the ability to send the students feedbackand automatically include anonymous reviews from other team members. The reports show theinstructor where the students’ skills may be lacking. The preliminary results from a pilot studyare discussed.Spring 2015 Mid-Atlantic ASEE Conference, April 10-11, 2015 Villanova UniversityI.

College of Technology anaffiliate of Pennsylvania State University, located in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The surveyedstudents were enrolled in three undergraduate design related majors: industrial and human factorsdesign, computer aided product design (recently changed to engineering design technology) andHVAC design technology. These are identified after their curriculum designators as BID, BENand BHD respectively.Student traits can influence results. While organizing student traits by major can nurturestereotypes, the study’s findings differ sufficiently by degree program that some sort ofcharacterization is helpful. Industrial and human factors is an art-based design program,computer aided product design is an engineering based program with

Three different examination schedules are compared. The first schedule used three 75-minute midterm exams distributed equally through the semester and a 120-minute final exam.The second method reduced the number of 75-minute midterm exams to two, but introducedfive-minute clicker

doctoral courses, covering all academic fields, fromEngineering to Art History. Still not fully understood is whether this emerging MOOC marketwill be a disruptive innovation through all academic areas or if only focused areas will bealtered. This paper utilizes a Systems Engineering lens to explore whether MOOCs should beconsidered a disruptive innovation or if they are just another teaching method to support thecurrent educational market place. Although MOOCs may influence all educational levels, thispaper is focused on their impact on the undergraduate arena. A review of the current state andattributes of MOOCs will be presented along with a descriptive analysis if this emergingtechnology has the potential to be a truly disruptive innovation
