Therefore, to contribute another important voice to these on-going conversations, thispaper presents a qualitative analysis of definitions of BME written by 115 undergraduatestudents at a large R1 public university in the Midwest. In vivo qualitative coding andcategorization revealed five main features of these definitions exemplified by “impact”,“design”, “apply/use”, “understand/combination”, and “undefined” labels.

Creativity in Academic and Research EnvironmentsAbstractThe purpose of this full research paper is to understand the creative climate of graduate-levelengineering education by exploring engineering graduate students’ perceptions of creativity inacademic and research environments. At its core, the profession of engineering is focused ondeveloping creative solutions to complex problems. Despite increasing calls for engineeringeducation to engage students in curricula that foster creativity, literature shows that in actuality,students do not feel that engineering programs place a high value on fostering creativity. Whileseveral studies on creativity at the undergraduate level have attempted to address thisdiscrepancy, there is little

Thedifficulty many students experience when trying to apply single-answer techniques to open-ended design problems can be significant and should not be underestimated2. To facilitate theseprojects, the IE capstone course is structured as a set of workshops which emulate industrialtraining workshops to introduce or reinforce key project and design related concepts. Samples ofthe workshops are: “team building and communication”, “project management”, “tools andinstrumentation”, “how to do a presentation”, and “understanding sustainable design challenges”.This paper focuses on the “sustainable design

process, but also expected of any program desiring accreditation.In the light of the above, many engineering courses and curricula have been influenced by EC2000 criteria, and instructors were urged to make a special effort in addressing such guidelines.As a result, EC 2000 has had a profound impact on the structure and content of an engineeringcourse. Instructors, in addition to focusing on a design and an end product, must revisit how thecourse contributes to students’ achievement of EC 2000 outcomes. At Kettering University,course-level correlation of course learning objectives to EC 2000 outcomes was performed foreach course.

They found fault with the criteria used byprevious citation analyses: currency, relevance, the correctness of citation format, quality, andscholarliness. Instead, they developed a faceted taxonomy that included the information format,the literary content, the author identity, the editorial process, and the publication purpose.
