for Engineering Education, 2010 Analyzing student generated evidence for supporting design decisionsAbstractOur work is investigating the type of knowledge students use when making decisions in theprocess of developing design solutions. In this paper we focus on the types of evidence studentsprovide when presenting and choosing between various design alternatives, or when they suggesta particular design approach or solution. We are interested in seeing the extent to which studentsuse engineering disciplinary knowledge to provide evidence for making design decisions.The major aim of our work is to investigate the role that computational and analytical abilitiesplay in innovation in the context of

In order to better prepare graduates with asystems perspective and the competencies to be effective in system design, we discuss initiatives topromote the development of systems thinking, both in undergraduate and K-12 communities. This paperdescribes vertically-integrated curriculum innovation, in which graduate-level coursework spawned apilot program to embed systems in a core engineering design course for undergraduates with its resultingadoption and extension to a core design thread, and a resulting high school curriculum development anddissemination effort which has followed. These efforts have also prompted educational research todevelop the academic underpinnings of the relatively under-developed scholarly
– The IOT PlatformThe Environmental Sensing Data Network (ESDN) [8] is an infrastructure and a service developed andmanaged by the Center for IOT Engineering and Innovation (CIEI) [9] within the department ofTechnology Systems in CET. The main mission of ESDN is to enable the concept of Campus as a Lab[10], a platform facilitating easy deployment and management of networked sensors, to facilitate datacollection and data analytics in support of research and education. ESDN was designed to accommodatefour specific use cases: 1. Users, scientists, and educators can deploy sensors that do not have wireless communications options. CIEI developed a small form factor communications shim which intermediates and processes communication
