Carthage College is situated along a corridor betweenChicago and Milwaukee in which there is a strong manufacturing presence. In the next 10 years,the overall growth rate in engineering jobs for the state of Wisconsin is projected at 13%,outpacing the 6.7% growth overall in employment opportunities1. Through talks with the localindustry, we learned that there was difficulty recruiting trained engineers to the area.

Linnet and hiscolleagues advocate for a broader set of criteria in evaluating new educational assessmentmethods beyond traditional factors like efficiency and reliability. Emphasizing the importance ofa more expansive view of validity, Linn suggests comprehensively assessing alternative methodslike performance-based measures.

This4-week project was to design a snowmaking system for a local ski resort. Our hypothesis was thatusing a real-world project can promote students’ curiosity in problem-solving, help students makeconnections between the knowledge they learned in classroom and the problem, and encouragestudents to apply this knowledge to create values for our communities, which are the 3Cs of EMs.To test this hypothesis, we organized a field trip and used teaching techniques such as Jigsaw inaddition to traditional lecturing

learning by the students as they quickly realize that the instructor is uninterested intheir class. The learning from a program point of view is to ensure that the prospectiveinstructor(s) are qualified – they know the topic – and are enthusiastic about teaching thecourse(s) to these very enthusiastic first-year students and that the program administratorsfollow-up to ensure that these come through with the students. This is certainly important for allcourses, but it is especially important for first-year courses as we help the students learn theirmajor of choice and transition from high school to college.

redefined failure as anopportunity to learn and built their resilience to challenge and risk.The field of engineering education is moving beyond teaching specific content, to thinking abouthow to holistically develop engineers who are resilient, and who can work through failure, tackleill-structured problems, and address real-world challenges [1]-[4]. In solving these real-worldproblems, solutions are rarely straightforward nor adequately achieved through a singular firstattempt [5], [6]. Thus, the ability to iterate through failure is a critical element of both learningand engineering design.How students think about and persist through failure is influenced by their understanding of therole of iteration in both engineering design and their own
