Entrepreneurship & Engineering Innovation

BehaviorSub-goals 3 and 4: Identify missing pieces and new opportunities and imagine next stepsTo address sub-goals 3 and 4, two sessions specifically devoted to “research opportunityrecognition” and “imagining next steps” were interspersed with the panel sessions. The firstsuch session, at the end of Day 1, was designed and hosted by a group of students who arepart of Epicenter’s UIF program. In this session, UIFs led small clusters of attendees in aninteractive brainstorming exercise about ways to collaborate with students as research partnersand participants. These clusters used white boards to capture their ideas.The second such session was held towards the end of Day 2; this session was known as theRe3 session (Re-cap, Re-flect, Re-search). This

Costa [3] observed that undergraduate students prefer interactivediscussion sessions to traditional lectures which facilitates better knowledge retention. Asindicated by Patrick [4], graduate students desire more active learning involved in the classroomto promote problem-solving.Both groups of students have some similarities as well. Dunn [5] found that for both graduate andundergraduate students, creating virtual social networks and building a high-quality relationshipcan facilitate a greater sense of community in the classroom and promote students’ learning.According to a

In addition, students are specifically askedto redo some of their conventional “by hand” computational problems they had for homeworknow using MATLAB and to thus experience firsthand the power and utility of

The program waslaunched in 2017, and nine undergraduate research projects advised by a team of faculty advisorsstarted in the summer. The projects embedded REU students in tasks whose focus was to designsensors and interpret their data by studying and programming appropriate machine learningalgorithms.

Pedagogically, it allows students to get at least simple results immediately, with incremental growth from that point. 2. Maple has a large library of STEM procedures, permitting use of sophisticated technical computing without extensive user programming. Typical small-scale software development consists of writing the scripting connecting invocations of library procedures, and providing the user interface programming that allows facile comprehension of computed results through tabular listing, plots and animations, etc. 3.

first-year engineering students’learning experience [1-3]. Engineering education saw the birth of the many faces of integrationlike multidisciplinarity, interdisciplinarity, and transdisciplinarity. Most studies agree that ifarranged according to the increasing level of complexity of integration, multidisciplinarityshould come first as having the lowest level and transdisciplinarity on the top with the highestlevel of integration [4]. In this study, we employed the lens of transdisciplinarity by combiningmetacognition, systems thinking, and empathy in an introductory engineering course. Theeducation literature on transdisciplinarity [5-7] acknowledges that generally, current highereducation practice does not yet effectively train students as

Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) (Lent, Brown, & Hackett, 1994, 2000) describes therelationship between person, environment, and behavior relative to career choices. SCCTidentifies processes and resulting pathways through which students form academic and careerchoice goals and make decisions regarding necessary actions to attain their goals. Specifically,SCCT posits that students will base their career choice on having 1) the skills and knowledge forthe career, 2) the expectations of the reward for the career, 3) an interest to do the work related tothe career, and 4) a supportive climate for pursuing the career. In particular, the supportiveclimate is based on environmental influences which can be proximal (i.e. direct and immediate)to the

He posits that one reason for this is that the “shape” of anartifact’s organization reflects the nature of the human thought processes behind thedesign process. In short, human problem solving typically involves breaking complexproblems down into simpler ones, and the artifacts that we design bear the imprint of thisproblem solving approach. As an example, Figure 3 shows a concept map5 illustratingthe organization of subsystems and subcomponents in an automobile
