He started his career at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez in the traditional role of teaching and administering a modest research program. At Trine University, a small private school in Angola, Indiana, Scott taught ten different courses from introductory freshman courses to senior design, while serving as advisor to many undergraduate research projects. For the last seven years, Scott has been at York College of Pennsylvania where his concentration is on undergraduate education in mechanical engineering.Taylor Schmidt c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019Implementation of A

One former student responded (with their emphasis), “I understand that when I took Biomaterials that the course was set up in an experimental way and there were still some kinks to work though. However, I really appreciated the approach to the class. Technology/internet today allows us to access such a vast amount of information, I think education SHOULD have this much stronger focus on being able to ascertain effective information from the lot and ask the right questions. It's valuable experience to be pushed to speak intelligently/confidently on the basis of short-term research, and making educated yet cautious guesses without

However, perceived barriers (especially time) frequently limit actual, personal change.We have developed a teaching pyramid that categorizes teaching levels by competence

Inaddition, problem definitions focused on outcomes, scoping, and time management are inherentto competitions, so they provide complex problems and test problem-solving skills. Thedrawbacks of adopting national/global competitions within courses can be synchronizing classand competition schedules and course learning outcomes with the competition themes. Also,while competitions motivate highly achieving students, they tend to alienate and disengagegroups that are not motivated. Research also indicates that competitions may not attract diverseparticipation.Stevens Institute of Technology has incorporated three competitions, two of them coupled withfirst-year design education and one with the two-semester-long capstone
