Faculty D, with extensive patent experience, strongly supported the program forfostering innovation. Faculty D stated: “Traditional Ph.D. is joining a lab, publishing a paper. You work through the program, you may not have entrepreneurship, or you know, commercial applications in ever. What I think is new is the possibility of a five-year track for a student to get their PhD and, at the same time, maybe have two or three provisional patents and a full patent by the time they graduate.

Students were also currently enrolled in various types of designcourses that required them to integrate and to apply knowledge and concepts they had learned inprevious courses. They pointed to this as challenging and interesting. At this upper-level stageof their engineering program (or having graduated), they were most interested in the concepts forwhich they could see a purpose. The mathematics-heavy concepts were singled out as difficultto understand and too difficult to apply in their design work and in their careers.Related to real-world applications, four students pointed to the design of physical objects eitheras their reason for

Nonetheless, traditional engineering education follows a two-step approach: imparting abstract concepts and assigning homework problems from the textbook.This approach does not help students make meaningful connections between their engineeringtraining and real applications. When encountered with a real-world problem, students havedifficulty seeing through the surface information and relate the problem back to their engineeringexpertise.

Instructors demonstrated moderate support for STSE, with a strong orientationtowards problem solving and design, but shared concerns, in particular about exploring issues ofsocial justice and fairness and the possibility of imposing bias on students. This is reflective ofwork in engineering education that highlights the apolitical nature of engineering and itsresonance in undergraduate engineering programs.

An instructor that knows thetheory behind the subject but cannot provide real-world examples of the concept they are teachingis just as likely to lose credibility as an instructor with significant experience that can notadequately explain the fundamental concepts of their discipline. Even in a traditional universitysetting, student excitement over solving real-world problems can be easily lost if the instructor isnot considered an expert in the field. 1 It is not enough to be an academic expert in the field;real-world problems can only be accurately posed by those who have real-world experience.

: Throughout the project, I have learned plenty of skills. Some skills that I strengthened during this project were problem solving, designing of new parts, and integrating creative ideas to simulate something in the real world. Problem solving skills are essential to everyday life and especially in the field of engineering. These skills within this project showed through the process of designing the modular pieces to become something truly relevant in the real world and it proved to be difficult at some times. Throughout my high school and college career, I’ve loved designing new parts by using applications such as SolidWorks and Autodesk Inventor. By designing the new parts such as spur gears, rack
