Engineers write to transmit information inall stages of their projects and design development. In fact, a study published in 2011 found

Upon completing their technical work, theyreflect on the skills they have gained and how those skills could be relevant for other aspects ofthe GC (Stage 6). We describe each stage in more detail in the following paragraphs.Stage 1: Multi-Disciplinary Overview. Each GC project begins with an overview of one of theGC themes. Depending on the class needs and the availability of other resources, this overviewcould take different forms, such as a presentation from a technical expert in the field; a paneldiscussion among scientists, engineers

project aims to characterize how engineering students view and approach innovation. Aspects of the research that are accomplished so far include: 1) a multi-phase protocol that includes interviews, process mapping tasks, and think-aloud protocols, 2) a content analysis to determine typical innovation and discovery behaviors used in innovation in technical areas, and 3) a meta-synthesis of assessment methods used in engineering entrepreneurship. Based on the findings from these studies, we made recommendations that inform activities associated with the educational plan including classroom activities and assessment tools.

He started with rather simpleideas and moved toward more complex ones, but then ended his ideation session with the simplestsolution he created: two plywood boards. Potentially, Participant 3 realized he was re-creatingexisting solutions and consciously changed his pattern. Additionally, Participant 3’s transitionfrom simple to complex to simple solutions suggests larger jumps in his exploration of thesolution space

Several help sessions and other online tutorialsand freeware were used to enhance their understanding of these, which helped somewhat intheir better understanding of those concepts. Determining reaction loads due to distributedloads is another major hurdle for carrying out the design problems.In the end, however, more studies and teaching techniques are required to design coursemodules for Statics using everyday examples (E^3)12 that may perhaps help the students.Some remedies at Kettering University are taken to reinforce students to take

drive to master technical concepts, the desire to apply them,innovate, create, solve, and synthesize.1-3 In other words, motivation is a major factor in thedevelopment of metacognitive and solving problem skills. A key factor in student motivation istheir perceptions of their future possible selves, which are also linked to cognition andperceptions of themselves in the present.4-5 This research seeks to help educators understandfactors that contribute to students’ motivation, such as expectations, values, and goals, as well astheir cognition and academic performance. Understanding these relationships will address thechallenges facing engineering educators: increasing interest in engineering, creating a morediverse engineering workforce, and
