That said, the process of organizing teams to collect infrastructure data in the field provided valuable insight into the data collection process that the city would need to undertake for the entire city. ● While we feel that it is advantageous to engage students in experiential learning early and regularly, freshman students may not be ready to undertake such an extensive project. That said, the students demonstrated professionalism and a willingness to work hard.Overall, this course demonstrates how experiential learning and design thinking can beintegrated into engineering curriculum beginning in students’ freshman year. Assessments,student reflections and course evaluations indicate that the learning

LearningSince undergraduate research is inherently a type of PBL, focus will now turn to a discussion ofthis topic. PBL is, itself, a form of experiential learning, where students learn by immersion and‘doing’. PBL presents a challenge or problem for students to solve or a question for them toanswer. In research projects, this challenge or question is the thesis statement of the researchproject.PBL is widely used due to its demonstrable effectiveness. It has been shown to work acrossmultiple educational levels [19]–[24] and in numerous disciplines. Example disciplines includecomputer science [25] and the aerospace [26], computer [27], electrical [28], and mechanical [29]engineering disciplines. It has also been shown to be effective outside of STEM

Students have key-card access to buildings twenty-four hoursper day to facilitate project work on their own schedules.More than two-thirds of PCEC courses have lab components. Throughout their coursework,engineering and computing students are involved in industry-sponsored projects that providetangible experience solving real problems. There are ample opportunities for students to engagewith faculty on applied research and development and many students work alongside faculty inlabs or R&D facilities in addition to their regular coursework.

Many of the student engineers also work on internship or co-op throughout their finalfour semesters as it is highly encouraged.The structure of the new Bell program stems from this same idea of gaining industry experienceas a working engineer while earning full-time credits as a student in the process of earning their4-year engineering degree. The curriculum is the same, yet the delivery modality is a bitdifferent. The aim is to make this program accessible to students all over the country. Instead offour semesters in length like Iron Range Engineering, the Bell program is spread across fivesemesters. The first semester, “Bell Academy,” takes place on a community college campuswhile the final four

The three skill areas have somealignment with the three competencies recently presented in the Conceptual Model of CoreCompetency Development through Experiential Learning, developed by E.

The course was developedand taught by an aerospace engineering professor of practice with 31 years of experience inindustry. The course curriculum aims to create an environment similar to what students wouldexperience in industry and covers topics such as systems engineering, project management,effective teams, risk management, verification and validation, manufacturing, and performancemanagement. At the end of the course, students were expected to have skills to: ● Confirm a product or technical project meets customer needs and/or requirements using
