This madethe notion of training a newly hired engineer in leadership fundamentals more natural.To begin the journey toward crafting the systematic development process, we began bysurveying the top business schools across the country. With our needs clearly in mind and abudget estimate in hand, we ended up selecting the University of Texas at Austin (UTA) toprovide our basic management training and the University of Notre Dame (ND) to provide theleadership training and to facilitate the internal development of the program.

TheSCR2 program is designed to engage underperforming REU students in research opportunitiesdemonstrated to improve students’ retention and graduation rates. In addition, teachers fromlocal community colleges and high schools are recruited in this program as RET participants.The experience of RET participants in hands-on engineering research projects helps themencourage their students to pursue engineering as a career. The SCR2 program offers summerresearch experience (eight weeks for students and six weeks for teachers) focusing on smart andconnected cities. In this paper, we present our learnings from the last three years of the SCR2program, which will inform the progress

Villanueva et al. write “Within educational and professional environmentsand settings, individuals don’t just learn ‘what is formally being presented . . . but alsoaccumulate other hidden lessons in the process’ [27, p. 1550]. The hidden curriculum inengineering is likely a significant factor in enculturating and socializing people into themeritocratic, hegemonic, and masculine norms of engineering [27].

Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of integrating PCB (Printed CircuitBoard) design, system debugging, and industry collaboration into the embedded systemscurriculum to maximize student learning outcomes. As the demand for embedded systemsengineers continues to grow, equipping students with practical, hands-on experiences throughtools like the MISL-ASE board is crucial for preparing the next generation of engineers. 1.

TSP is required for CS and SE majors, and SPM is required for SE majors.A significant number of non-majors take both courses as well. TSP is a junior-level course whichmajors take after having completed introductory programming courses and data structures, whileSPM is a senior-level course usually taken by undergraduate majors in their last year, and bygraduate students.In TSP, during the first five weeks students learn fundamentals of software development in a team,including UML documentation, revision control, and automated testing. Students are taught thebasics of the Scrum process and

design, portfolio assessment, scoring BACKGROUND Today, decades after the term “rubric” began to enter common parlance among educators, onemight well ask, “What more is left to say about rubrics that has not already been said?” Articles,book chapters, and entire volumes have been written about rubrics—what they are, what typesexist, how they are created, and how and why they should be used. Many of those involved in edu-cation were first introduced to rubrics in the 1970s and 80s as scoring tools to facilitate the directFALL 2017 1 ADVANCES IN
thelatter depicts how they might actually view design, supported by quotes regarding the activitiesof designing in the workplace. In other words, a participant might explicitly articulate design asseparate from a social world, but when describing the actual design experience, the experienceclearly is recognized as a social activity situated across many actors.Design as Lifecycle:“[N]obody just takes something, just writes something and builds then sells…because thingshappen in cycles, things happen in stages and phases, and that is a basic fundamental concept ofhow ideas materialize…” (emphasis ours). This statement, made by Rajesh, articulated a salienttheme that we found to pervade the transcripts. The alums tended to construe design as

so that the DTparticipants could avoid design fixation or prematurely moving toward solutions as needed in theinformation processing of design sessions [26] and as a fundamental tension in DT itself [16,10]. He said, these would be a potential solution that we could begin to discuss and the underlying challenge is that we are limited in our resources, time, that our perceptions of how the world works. If we are going to value something, how do we incentivize it, right, with real value-added components like money, time, support. right. There’s always some value trade off. There is a design decision trade off. How do we optimize the situation.At this point, he decided to be overt in his direction but in a way
