paper describes a project where the concept of an engineeringdesign process was taught using two engineering design learning modules, and evaluated using acontrol/experimental set up. In the control class, the students are exposed to a lecture about theengineering design process, an active learning exercise (Title: Statistics Applied to DataAnalysis), and a pasta tower building activity. In the experimental set up, the students areexposed to a lecture about the engineering design process, a design simulation exercise (Seriousgame titled ' Engineering Heights: The Design Process in Action'), and a pasta tower buildingactivity. External evaluators will use the same instruments and focus groups to collect bothquantitative and qualitative

developed their abilities in computationalthinking, problem solving, and creativity.Questions 4-6 are KEEN related, and the results indicate that through teamwork, collaboration andreflection, the course allowed students to gain additional insights into entrepreneurship mindset inthe context of software development. Page 26.671.6Moreover, question 7 shows that after the class, students increase their interest in computer science,thus helps increase the student retention rates in the department.4.2 Instructor’s EvaluationIn addition to the students self-evaluation surveys, the instructor also evaluated students per-formance on class work

While informal feedback provided bystudents in class was generally positive, students also reported frustration with the inevitablebugs and errors which accompanied a first-time implementation and draft edition of the book.A revised and expanded version of the book was assigned in ECE 3724 in Spring 2018 in all foursections of the course by all three instructors of the course, covering a total of 116 students. Atthis point, students have completed 23 assignments, with an average grade of 79%. A total of 99students in the authors’ sections of the course were surveyed after completion of 8 assignmentson the best and worst aspects of the system. The most common responses

collected information about all papers published between 1996 and 2020 in theAmerican Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) annual conference proceedings for thisstudy. We built the inter-institutional collaboration network and identified structural networkproperties, connected components, and modularity classes from this dataset. The network datawere then linked to data regarding each institution's (i) Carnegie classification, (ii) rankingsbased on the 2020 QS World University Rankings, and (iii) geographic location. With thisaugmented dataset, we answered research questions about factors associated withinter-institutional collaborations through statistical analysis. In doing so, we identify the keypatterns, trends, and associations from our

for judging.Judges for music and coding were recruited through both Amazon and Georgia Tech. Codingjudges were asked to have basic knowledge of coding or taken a coding class, while musicjudges were asked to have a background in music or play an instrument. All judges watched ashort training video and were asked to commit an hour of their time during a two-week judgingperiod. We recruited approximately 200 judges, split equally for coding and music.Each judge graded approximately ten student submissions, assuring that every entry wasreviewed by three separate judges in coding and music. Judges used the RocketJudge onlinecompetition platform to score their entries. Each submission was judged using a rubric on a 1-5scale.Coding criteria

ofcreative ideas within the EERB. A makerspace provides a location for students to explore ideas,complete class projects, or pursue an entrepreneurial innovation. As a general concept,university makerspaces present both formal and informal learning opportunities to students.From an educational perspective, makerspaces espouse constructivism and constructionism aslearning philosophies, incorporating collaborative and problem-based activities. Essentially, theexpertise and tools provided in makerspace facilities foster a hands-on approach to learningbased upon individual interests, building upon intrinsic motivation (Kurti, Kurti, & Fleming,2014) [1]. Whether a student wants to learn a new skill to improve classroom performance orparticipate just

Teams are required to record and submit a summaryof the oral comments made by all judges, and then use the MVP process to prioritize app changesto be implemented in the week between the CDR and final app submission. As part of the finalsubmission, an oral presentation is made to the class, a set of reflective questions are individuallyanswered, and peer evaluations are performed.Sample Student WorkTo better illustrate what student teams have proven themselves capable of through thecornerstone design project, two software applications are briefly reviewed here; examplescreenshots from each application are presented in Figure 2.
