Page 14.99.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2009 A Retrospective Study of Elementary School Experiences, Influences, Skills, and Traits of Talented EngineersAbstractBy 2012, an estimated 1.6 million engineers will be needed to support the U.S. job market.Based on the current pipeline, there is clearly a shortage of American engineers. This shortage isdue to 2 factors: a substantial number of baby boomer engineers are retiring, and there are notenough U.S. students studying engineering today
will drop when the temperature increases [4]. The team has found that the phasechange material (PCM) could regulate and remove the heat from the solar panels, so the majordesign task has shifted to build a testing rig to validate and quantify the improvement of the solarpanels with the PCM.In this project, the senior design group was in charge of the installation of the solar powered airconditioning unit while a group of masters students are working on it as a research project toconduct both simulation and experimental studies. Their knowledge and project managementskills make them good mentors for the senior design team.Throughout the Preliminary Senior Design Project and the Capstone Senior Design Project wewere initially tasked with
employees, customers, and managementpersonnel who are motivated to discuss and work together and become involved in a participativeproblem-solving process# (Ross, 1993, p. 3). Others, LaFleur (1996) for example, discussnecessary skills for project team members and managers or leaders. The decision-makingprocess is critical and organizations must determine who the decision makers are up-front. Inaddition, it is important for project teams to fully understand the project process itself, namely,thought, study, research, planning, and implementation. The communication process is alsocritical. Scheduling is one of the most difficult tasks in project management, especially of scarceresources over time, whether human or machine resources, etc. (Herroelen

“Historical Analysis ofDFQ Rates” presented in the next section. The rates higher than 30% have been of great concernto the MEEN faculty teaching this course. Most engineering departments accept a D letter gradefor successful completion of MEEN 221 for their curriculum; however those students who fail (F)or drop (Q) have to repeat the course which negatively impacts departments’ retention of students;increases cost of education; and delays students’ graduation. High DFW/DFQ rates like the onesin MEEN 221 have also been reported for Statics, Dynamics and other foundational courses inengineering curricula in other studies [1-8]. These studies have implement changes in the coursesthat involve more student-centered learning activities [2,7], online

increasingly important. Education and research are of equal value andshould be viewed as complementary parts of any STEM education system3. Incorporating a research problem into a graduate level course4 presents challenges, and toincorporate a problem into an undergraduate level is even more challenging. These challengesinclude 1. the research problem may not address most of the topics of the course to justify the use of class time, 2. specific skills may be needed that are too time consuming to teach, 3. the problem may be out of scope for the education level of the students. In the Numerical Methods course, we were either able to meet or not have to face thesechallenges. In the next sections, the description

dissatisfaction with aparticular course and professor. Instructor evaluations by students can prompt a bitter discussionbetween professors about the effectiveness of teaching versus the likability of the professor.Evaluations in general have long been the topic of disgruntled professors and students.Most college instructors will agree that we need to provide students with the tools and skillsnecessary for gainful employment. Since today's graduates are likely to have at least threedifferent professions during their lives, it is it is important that students learn how to findinformation, and how to work collaboratively. [Wise, 2013] There are many research studies tosuggest that active learning methods by an instructor can increase student learning [Mills
characterizing stakeholders based oncontributions, expectations, and power is a useful method for moving a project forward by focusingefforts on the stakeholders who hold the most influence. More involved processes, includingsurveys, interviews, and focus groups allow for stakeholder feedback into a design. Forengineering students though, direct interactions with stakeholders are usually limited to theoreticalsituations or case studies (Flynn et al., 2016; Martin et al., 2021) or simulated with decision-making criteria (Morshedi et al., 2023). Even when students have opportunities to interact withstakeholders directly as in a dedicated design course, they may not do so effectively. Mohedas etal.

In addition, moremultidisciplinary studies should be taken by students in all of the engineeringdisciplines. There is nothing intrinsic which make graduates in any one of theengineering disciplines better suited for interacting with customers, the generalpublic or other cultures. The same holds true for managerial aptitude, whether inconsulting, civil work, manufacturing or research and development. 382The Honors Program for Teaching Students to work on Multidisciplinary TeamsAs a first step, we have used our universities
