technical skills.Although these are necessary for career success and productive work, students must also developcapacities for authentic engineering practices within authentic engineering communities.Specifically, they must develop practices for engaging ill-structured, ambiguous problems, andnavigating complexity and uncertainty through careful, creative application of deep knowledgethat characterize engineering design1. And they must do so in collaboration with others,communicating successfully with diverse stakeholders in formal and informal settings2. Finally,they must cultivate the ability to reflect on the quality of their innovation and communicationefforts3.The NSF and other sponsors fund research experiences for undergraduates (REU
academic and social needs.2.2. Engagement-based learning2.2.1. Experiential learning. Experiential learning allows students to apply specific conceptslearned in the formal environment to the informal environment through opportunities such asinternships, apprenticeships, competitions, clubs, practica, and cooperative education [9].According to Kolb and Fry [10], experiential learning theory is a four-part cycle. 1. The learner has concrete experience with the content being taught. 2. The learner reflects on the experience by comparing it to prior experiences. 3. Based on experience and reflection, the learner develops new ideas about the content being taught. 4. The learner acts on the new ideas by experimenting in an
serves as a learning space and as a showcase of best practices related to sustainable design and construction;• Increase their interest and self-efficacy in sustainable design;• Connect concepts related to tiny house design across disciplines;• Compare and contrast interdisciplinary design options and decisions;• Reflect on their learning.Students in six different courses on campus are collaborating to design the tiny house. This pastsummer, students in Architecture I investigated different sites at the Organic Farm and preparedsite plans for 3 different sites. This winter, students in Architecture II and III will work onarchitectural designs and plans using one of the sites proposed by the Architecture I students. Inaddition, students in an
deliverable had a list of requirements announced two weeks before it wasdue. The deliverables were graded as a team based on how well the team was meeting therequirements. The grading components for each deliverable included the documentation,presentation, an individual reflection paragraph and the source code. Since the CSSE students hadweekly reviews, they were able to keep up with the schedule and meet the requirements. All theCSSE teams completed the web servers utilizing AWS or Microsoft Azure, and completed thegraphical user interface for visualizing the sensor data. 5. Reflective CritiquesPrior to the end of the course, an anonymous survey was administered to students to gauge theiropinions about the collaboration. The survey was developed
