Traditional materials science labs provide students with very clearand detailed lab instructions like objective and operation steps. On the one hand, the field ofmaterials science is dynamic and forever-evolving, demanding innovative approaches toeducation that mirror the complexity and interdisciplinary nature of the discipline. On the otherhand, Union college proposes to create an inclusive community for intellectual growth,experimentation, and academic success that emerges from engagement with diverse and globalperspectives through a general education curriculum with global challenges and other aspects[1
already by other questions or responses.)Students’ engineering definition responses were open-coded looking for emergent themes thatresonated across the collection of answers. A 7-part theme exposition for “what is engineering”was developed and student responses were coded and the number of categories each participants’definition encompassed was noted. Discussed later in the paper, this is summarized in Table 2.Asking Student Notions of ‘Engineering’ and ‘Design’Building on the baseline responses of the undergraduate student cohort, the Group 2 cohort wereasked questions to help delineate engineering from design. These students are referred to as thegraduate student cohort. The graduate student participants were asked to draw both a designerand

AssessmentAbstractCapstone engineering design courses play pivotal roles in development of engineering students’professional skills needed for innovation in a globally-competitive technological world. Thispaper describes a two-semester course sequence, jointly taught by faculty in engineering andentrepreneurial studies, that integrates engineering design and business development. Courseoutcomes are defined based on research that established four performance areas addressingstudent and solution development in capstone design courses: personal capacity, team processes,solution requirements, and solution assets. Performance criteria for each area establishdefinitions of desired student achievement in each area and form the basis for assessment ofoutcomes for the

from the world of activities. Thus, the roleof critical thinking in engineering education goes beyond the laboratory.According to Marin and Steinert, critical thinking is ‘thinking aimed at forming a judgement, i.e.,making up one’s mind about what to believe or do’. Critical thinking is a fruitful way to formjudgements about values, especially in cases of emerging technologies [6]. Core critical thinkingskills are interpretation, analysis, inference, explanation, evaluation, and self-regulation.According to Facione, good critical thinkers approach specific problems, questions, and issueswith clarity, orderliness, diligence, reasonableness, care, persistence, and precision.

We had as an overall theme to the REM programEnergy for Our Growing World: How a wide range of energy sources (renewables, emerging energytechnologies—biofuels, solar, nuclear, wind—and fossil fuels and shale) serve the needs of people,and how we balance those needs against the impact these energy sources differentially have oncommunities and our world.

our analysis, no clear single reason emerged to explain the deviation from the extantliterature. While several possibilities were identified, as discussed above, no one possible explanationseemed to be fully supported by the data. Thus, more work is needed to understand if the study resultsherald some larger societal change, were caused by outside or environmental factors, or are a result ofrandom chance. These future studies should include a range of participant characteristics, in a wide rangeof setting (both formal and informal) and should seek to limit the possible impact of “role models”. Byseeking more data, we may be able to better understand what, if anything, has changed in how our pre-college students perceive engineers and perhaps

to tackling the problem, the instructor maychoose to introduce students to the design approach by reviewing how students from previoussemesters addressed a different industry-sponsored project. In this instance, the ’case’ would focuson how the students organized their work, gathered information, dealt with highly technicalinformation, made decisions, and presented their solution. The instructor’s role is to present thestudents with the proper background information to the problem and solution approach, craftsessions to dissect and discuss the information, and provide an opportunity for students to reflector get feedback on their understanding of the design process.Problem-based learning is similar to case-based learning in that it features
