of the assignments is to allowstudents the opportunity to creatively reinforce the main thrust of each of the topics. Admittedly,there is generally resistance to the assignment when it is first assigned, but the instructors arealways impressed by the quality of the work submitted and students seem to genuinely enjoysharing their work and seeing what their classmates have produced. Students have alsocommented that the vignettes “bring the topics” to life.Course Format and Topic ScheduleThe course is a three (3) semester credit hour course presented in two (2) seventy-five (75)minute sessions per week over sixteen (16) weeks. Students receive the reading materials for thecourse topic one (1) week prior to the topic being covered in class

improved their understanding of that topic. Lessons learned during theprocess and ideas for future work are also presented.IntroductionEngineering programs carefully construct their curriculum so students build upon theirpreviously learned knowledge as they advance in their field of study. By the junior-year, thereare often core courses that have 3 or more prerequisites. A recurring problem for faculty isstudents lacking a necessary level of knowledge from a prerequisite course. Assuming studentshave successfully passed the prerequisite courses, there are generally two reasons a student lacksmastery in the prerequisite knowledge: 1. They did not originally master the subject manner but earned a grade high enough to continue on to the

engineering students feel underprepared when going into the workforce, due to a lack ofreal-world application of the college curriculum and the lack of necessary skills to confidentlymake engineering and business decisions [1-3]. Consequently, the transition between college andone’s first job can be difficult for many graduates [4]. This causes many to seek jobs outside ofthe engineering profession altogether; according to one study, only one-third of engineeringgraduates seek jobs in an engineering field [5]. Furthermore, a study by the Carnegie Foundationfound that engineering schools primarily focus on the acquisition of technical knowledge, leavinglittle attention to real-world application or preparing for employment [6].To combat this issue, the

such as lead time andthe number of attempts. In addition, student perception was evaluated through the use of voluntary,anonymous mid-term and final course surveys. Qualitative faculty observations are included aswell. Student response to the unlimited attempts on homework assignments was overwhelminglypositive. Initial data show that students achieve higher final scores on homework assignmentswhen they attempt 1) the assignment earlier and 2) accomplish more attempts with a moderatecorrelation for both. It appears that 5% bonus points for early completion has a slight increase inmotivation, for roughly half of students.Background & Prior WorkThis work intends to build on previous work on effective course design [1] [2] [3].

. Preliminary results indicate that the addition of formative assessments havehelped students better communicate the problem and solution to a wider audience in their projectdeliverables. A revised instructional model is presented, along with future evaluation plans.IntroductionAs engineering students move into the workplace, their success depends on their technical skillsand ability to communicate. Studies have shown that based on their position within anorganization, engineers may spend up to fifty percent of their time writing [1]. While writing hasbeen presumed to be part of an engineer’s job, it has not always been considered a centralcomponent of the engineering profession [2], [3]. The role of writing in engineering has inspiredseveral studies

transitionIntroductionIn her 2009 TED talk “The Danger of a Single Story,” author Chimamanda Adichie describes themisunderstandings and missed opportunities that abound when we allow ourselves to makeassumptions about an entire group or situation based on one perspective – the single story [1].Many engineering academics enter the academy subscribing to a “single story” of success: anindividual with a discipline-based PhD obtains a tenure-track faculty position where their goal isto gain tenure and promotion, all within a single field of research established during their PhD.To the detriment of our profession, that story fails to capture the experiences of manyengineering faculty.

engineering work is organized. Among the mindsets Riley outlines are: (1) Positivist epistemology / Myth of Objectivity, (2) Commitment to Problem Solving / Reductionism, and (3) Narrow Technical Focus / Lack of Other Skills. Thus, engineering is seen as mainly concerned with technical knowledge (as opposed to teamwork and collaboration), combined with epistemological orientations towards reductionist, positivist thinking, where mathematics and data-driven arguments are seen as superior to arguments based in more expansive thinking about society and values. Riley also notes the centrality of military and private profit-driven organizations within engineering work that tends
