instructional course design that provides the ability to adapt tochanging technologies and incorporate current research into the curriculum. Learning can beimproved and redesign costs minimized if there is a clear understanding of the relationship of thetechnical content to the overall instructional design. The instructional design presented here isconceived in terms of interacting layers analogous to Stewart Brand's architectural layers.Updating courses then becomes a process of changing the technical content layer while leavingmost of the teaching material, organizational structure and learning objectives unaffected. Thisparadigm not only reduces the costs of updating courses but provides for a better collaborativestudent learning environment. Some
].Impromptu design exercises provide a unique opportunity to teach design concepts. Specifically,because student groups are “thrown” into the project they learn by doing. This type of activepedagogy has been shown to improve student understanding. Furthermore, by referring to theproject in later discussions, it provides a “jumping-off” point for lecture/discussion on moreadvanced engineering concepts – which is how the projects are used in this paper.In this paper, the developed exercises are presented with some discussion regarding theirimplementation. Some of the main findings in this paper are: • Students really enjoy these exercises – this student engagement should be expected due to the hands-on, competitive nature of the exercises

Thisassessment asks students to mark which six activities in
solution to the problem live for theclass to demonstrate how they approach the problem. A typical week presented 3-5 problems forstudents to solve, meaning by week 7, students had collaboratively designed solutions to 20-30different design problems, which while not hands on, at least gave students an understanding ofhow an engineer would work with each component.2.1.3 Tron DaysEngineering Design Days are two-day long design “sprints” that expose students early in theiruniversity careers to open-ended problems, decision-making, and the role of analysis in design.First offered in 2016, Design Days for first year MTE (“Tron Days”) led students through arealistic engineering design process on a discipline-specific task.

Thispaper highlights aspects of the instructional transition to an emergency remote virtual format inthe spring of 2020. While the instructor made key decisions on the use of virtual tools out ofnecessity, such as use of synchronous versus asynchronous activities, the instruction team wasinterested in understanding student-learning outcomes. Student data collected during remoteoffering, pre/post Engineering Design Self-Efficacy (EDSE) surveys along with an end ofquarter reflection assignment, provided a starting point for understanding the students’ learningexperience.

“Building Informed Designers” project is to incorporate engineeringdesign into existing high school science courses with minimal expense to improve designthinking and problem solving by all high school students. A secondary goal is to increase thenumber of students who will pursue college or community college engineering career pathways.Problem solving and thus problem framing are a key first step of the engineering design process.Davis, Beyerlin, & Davis [3] describes the role of a problem solver as one in which she“examines the problem setting to understand critical issues, assumptions, limitations, andsolution requirements.” Problem solving has been studied and found to be critical in design anddecision making [4-8]. Complex problems can
a two-year plan for the pilot project has been drafted. It also helps in passing the learned experience to the successive teams while keeping the project requirement same. Since FIT’s senior design course is three semesters long, a team of junior or sophomore has been proposed with the understanding that the same team or members of the team keep continuing on the project during their capstone senior design project course. Whereas, team at FAMU-FSU College of Engineering will help them to provide the initial senior experience that includes project planning and management concepts learned in their Engineering Design Methods course for the initiation of the project. Later on, during the second year, a new team at FAMU-FSU
, and Fila, Hess, Purzer, and Dringenberg[20] examined how students develop and utilize their empathy towards users during a design taskwithout direct interaction with users. Furthermore, Beckman and Barry [21] discussed students’empathy in problem framing. They explained that at the first stage of the design process,empathizing with the students allows them to interpret a problem situation with users’perspectives. It implies that empathy is essential in framing and reframing processes.In consideration of the importance of engineering students’ framing and reframing processes andempathic design abilities, there have been critical work surrounding their problem-framing andempathy. However, there is still a gap in understanding of engineering

Often, this can be just as or even more important than the design itself in the real world. A systematic workflow helps to ensure that standards of safety are being followed, and that all parties involved clearly understand the requirements of the design and what will be needed to satisfy these requirements. Through the completion of a semester-long project, we learned the stages of the engineering design workflow, as well as the associated documentation, presentations, and reports that will be required of us in industry

Both good team cohesionand an embedded communication instructor create better capstone experiences, and we arelooking into how to help students understand the importance of both.
