Aspecific concept would inspire the team to identify a new problem to address, or, in some cases, apreviously unidentified problem that a concept they proposed would address.In some ways, this approach represented a designerly way of thinking, in that the emergentproblems sometimes stemmed from empathic insights or iterations back from the solution space(e.g., co-evolution34). However, these smaller-scale, emergent or post hoc problems typicallyrepresented distractions from the team’s primary design work on the larger problems they hadidentified.IdeateIdeation focuses on identifying a set of potential concepts that could address
towards achieving a Framework for Incorporating Virtual Teams into Projects in Engineering CoursesAs the digital age advances, it is perhaps not surprising that the growth rate for studentscorresponding electronically is increasing greatly. This includes students who are working onprojects in their classes. However, team dynamics is always a significant issue for students whenworking on teams and continues to be an even bigger source of concern for them once theygraduate and go out into the work force.In this paper, the authors talk about the process of initializing a study to study the functioning ofpartially distributed teams and developing a framework for incorporating projects intoengineering courses where students are required to

platform aims not to simply cedecontrol of the learning process to the student, but to intentionally add a degree of freedom andflexibility often missing from academic coursework. Allowing students some ability to shapetheir learning experience enables them to advance their personal skillset and interests in new andconstructive ways. The teaching team focused heavily on making the mini-project topics, which wereselected based on students’ interests, as engaging and customizable as possible. Furthermore,mini-projects were designed to require roughly four hours of work per week from each student.Appendix A provides the structure of a typical semester, including mini-project deliverabledeadlines.

slightly adapted version of a project presented in a paperentitled "The Pressure Sensing Project" by Professor's Nghia T. Le and Terry O'Conner of thePurdue University School of Technology, New Albany location, and given at ASEE 2004 in SaltLake City, Utah [1]. This project is ideal for a junior year capstone experience because of thecircuits it uses to accomplish the tasks outlined in Figure 1, the block diagram for the analogsection of the project. The individual circuits have all been covered in previous courses.Students should recognize these circuits from Electronics I, Linear Electronics, and CircuitAnalysis I and II. This is also an excellent opportunity to review and enhance the students’understanding of electronic test equipment normally
from ET degrees, but any minor is allowedfor students to declare (e.g., General Business). The goal of this interdisciplinary course is toengage ET students in engineering-related interdisciplinary projects. The new proposed course(junior/senior standing) gives an opportunity to those students majoring and minoring in ET-related degrees to share and advance their knowledge with other students by working on aninterdisciplinary project. Projects are assigned either by the course instructor or proposed by thestudents. This course design centers on its uniqueness, when compared to a standard capstonedesign course. The nature of the projects, student feedback, challenges, and outcomes/results areobtained through by implementation of the course. A

Currently, the BE faculty are addressing the need to add acellular bioengineering laboratory to the curriculum. If approved, these hands-on modules will beimplemented in a three hours lab period that will be added to the 3 credit-hours lecture course.The course will be assigned 4 credit hours.

The goal is to createcollaboration moments between the two groups of students, as well as a support network amongthe college and high school faculty. Already, we have learned that discussions about thecurriculum are key. Researchers from the university have met with teachers and administratorsfrom the program to discuss possible activities where high school and undergraduate studentsmight collaborate. We have also begun to find ways for mentoring and peer-evaluation to happenacross the spaces. We are thrilled with the possibilities.

When the lead faculty member for thiscourse moved, the inaugural class engaged graduate students in critical thinking and problemsolving by considering economic, social, and environmental limitations of engineering projectswithin a global context. Throughout its offerings, this course has had no prerequisiterequirements or mandatory international field component. While the university touts a long-standing history of international service, collaborations with local community partners, rigorousinterdisciplinary research, and a commitment to sustained, appropriate growth, there had been noengineering or interdisciplinary course that synthesized these initiatives prior to that theimplementation of this course
is defined in [6] as “being able to generate, evaluate and implement candidatesolutions, as well as to understand that problem solving is intrinsically an iterative andintegrative process.” EP3 is closely related to EP2, but highlights the generation of morefundamental knowledge, rather than the challenges that arise from integration and synthesis. EP4is one aspect of what is often called lifelong learning [6]. The final skill, EP5, is related toplanning and coordination, but highlights the need for engineers to consider risk and mitigationstrategies when developing new technology [2, 5].In this paper, we describe the assessment of a lab-based course designed to help students developthese five engineering practice skills.
