students do not naturally use DT process in subsequent classes, so early andrepeated exposure to the DT concepts is important for enhanced student internalization of designthinking in open-ended projects. This will be determined as we review SD design documentsfrom subsequent semesters to determine if natural revisions in teaching and additional electivebiodesign materials have improved student outcomes. Figure 1: A) Average scores of DT concepts for each of the five graders. B) Average DT concept scores separatedby engineering discipline. Scoring was based on a Likert scale, where 1–low and 4–high.

RQ2.

cautiouslyinterpreted to avoid making erroneous conclusions [9]. More typical measures of studentperformance (i.e., tests) were not given to students. Instead, student performance was exploredfrom the perspectives of the students via survey questions. As such, the authors make no claimsas to the actual effectiveness of the methods used in terms of student performance. All dataprovided are meant to illustrate our experience with the approach to the course. The researchpresented could be significant in that it (a) informs other practitioners about an approach to usingboard game play, deconstruction, and design as an instructional tool, and (b) it could guidefurther explorations of the method, either by these authors or other researchers.Description of the

around it or bystating the system in words. Once a system is chosen, and only after it is chosen, then studentsdraw a free-body diagram (FBD) for the system. The mnemonic BREAD (B-Body, R-Reactionforces, E-External forces, A-Axis, D-Dimensions) has been found to be very helpful in teachingstudents how to draw complete and accurate FBDs. In this paper, we will present this problem-solving approach with a specific focus on defining the system and drawing a complete FBD.IntroductionStatics is typically the first engineering course students encounter, and it is often the firstexposure students have to engineering problem solving. Statics is also one of the mostfoundational courses in the mechanical engineering curriculum; students will continuously

A prime example of this is the individualpressure sensor pitches of the array as presented in Figure 2(a). This distance was the result ofinputted dimensions for the known device elements (resistor width, resistor length, diaphragmsize, trace widths, and spacing between traces) and parametric equations tuned for distributing themost compact, yet manufacturable spacing of the diaphragms possible.

This first assignment of the projectwas on exploratory grounds, aiming to overcome two major challenges: a) transfer to a big classof an activity and assessment type that the instructor has successfully used in smaller senior levelclasses; and b) the unpopularity of this specific class among students. Past surveys have pointedto two main reasons the class is unpopular: first, students do not immediately recognize this classas a CEE class, therefore association to CEE is a conscious, consistent effort throughout thesemester; second, similar to what has been reported in the literature (e.g. [13

Only minimum requirements were defined in the projectassignments and no limits were placed on the students’ creativity or on the amount of timethey should invest in order to complete the projects. This kind of creative freedom paired withthe competition between the teams led to one acceptable and two very presentable results. Allthe figures presented in this paper are based on the programs written by those latter twoteams, hereinafter referred to as “group A” and “group B”.Equations of motion of dynamic vibration absorbersDynamic vibration absorbers are widely used passive vibration control devices.

influence of role models on major and career decisions [4]. The researchdiscussed in this paper focused on three subscales of the LAESE survey, (1) Engineering Self-Efficacy 1, (2) Engineering Self-Efficacy 2, and (3) Engineering Career Expectations. EngineeringSelf-Efficacy 1 is a measure of the student’s perception of their ability to earn an A or B in physics,math, and engineering courses and succeed in their engineering curriculum without sacrificingoutside interests. Engineering Self-Efficacy 2 is a measure of the student’s perception of theirability to complete engineering requirements such as their science and math coursework, as wellas their general ability to complete any engineering major [5].Researchers from the University of Michigan
