In this regard, the faculty leader of BIIE was also engaged in a FacultyUlysses Contract with his own students - challenging them to do something that he had never donebefore. A significant byproduct of the collaboration was that the musicians learned a good deal ofsignals and systems.While the biomusic project clearly was a Faculty Ulysses Contract, I am one of the foundingmembers of BIIE and have a strong music and improv dance background. In future versions ofthe signals and systems class, I intentionally changed the theme such that I would have far lessexperience. In subsequent years I issued other challenges

Therefore, we began with a collaborative autoethnographic approach because itaffords a holistic means for examining our personal experiences and communicating thoseexperiences with our own voices. This decision was appropriate for us because collaborativeautoethnography, as a method grounded in critical theory, endeavors “…to understand the livedexperience of real people in context, to examine social conditions and uncover oppressive powerarrangements, and to fuse theory and action to challenge processes of domination” [20, pp. 8–9].As a result of the collaborative autoethnography process, we recognized that our stories needtelling and we were inspired by [21] to share those stories as autobiographical

The Fan Project - Teamwork, Machining, Process Planning The single most important part of this course was the fan lab. This lab provided us with what seemed to be rather inadequate drawings for a project that we were to complete with a team of students that were not even working along side each other. This was a great representation of industry and the communication and collaboration that is required in order to complete a task for a customer by utilizing ideas such as

learning outcomes.However, whatever ambiguity we left about what the students would learn, we were quite clearin our expectations about how that learning would take place: this was to be a seminar-stylereading and discussion course, fitting squarely and unabashedly in Haws’s “humanistic readings”model. No tests. No problem sets. Lots of dog-eared photocopies and cups of coffee. As itturned out, our discussions tended to cover issues of ethics, interdisciplinary collaboration,politics, and—more often than not—our students’ frustration with the restrictiveness ofengineering curricula.

This paperpresents student assessment on the social dimensions of engineering as well as their ability tomake a difference in the world, as a consequence of this course.In its inception, the field of engineering was defined by creativity and innovation. Monumentalchanges in human welfare throughout history have been linked to engineering advances, such asthe steam engine in the Industrial Revolution and the proliferation of personal computers in theInformation Age. Yet paradoxically, traditional engineering education has become prescriptive,hammering students with a slew of equations and rules to solve them. While students havebecome masters at solving problems with
civil capstone projectsAbstractProject-based learning pedagogies have been shown to be effective at teaching many of thetechnical and professional skills desired of engineering education programs. They allow studentsto engage in more authentic engineering designs, helping to develop the technical andprofessional skills. This type of approach, however, makes traditional assessment more difficultdue to variability in project content, difficulty, and types of deliverables from team to team.In our engineering program, all seniors engage in year-long, industry sponsored capstoneprojects with the guidance of both faculty mentors and corporate liaisons. These projects aregenerally conceived of and sponsored by local
curriculum. That product must meet certain design specifications. Therefore, asystem must be created which monitors product development so as to ensure that the finalproduct does meet those specifications. This latter requirement implies a system which allowsintervention to correct problems as they develop to prevent products from failing to meet designrequirements4. Despite the attractiveness of such a transparent system, an immediate objection can be raisedbecause students do not fit the usual definition of merchandise. One does not buy and sellgraduates. While that is thankfully true, graduates do get hired, admitted to professional orgraduates schools or they do not. There is a measure of success in that sense. Industry,professional schools and

The instructors note how students struggled at the beginning of thesemester, but note “the culture created by this environment embraces intelligent fast failure.”Another example of a full course is OLS 35000 Creativity in business and Industry [49]. Thecourse included a Creative Problem Solving assignment that required individual students to“identify a personal or work related problem and construct a physical model to represent theproblem and its creative solution.” The models were constrained to be constructed primarily ofpopsicle sticks (>70%). The physical model was found to be an important facet in facilitatinggrowth in students’ creativity, based largely on student survey responses. A

Ownership is importantto the authenticity STEM notebooks, and teachers should provide enough scaffolding forstudents to learn from using them, while also giving them autonomy [18]. From a study ofengineering in elementary school classrooms, Hertel, Cunningham, and Kelly [8] concluded thatstudent notebooks are able to scaffold engineering learning and epistemic practices ofengineering. When science notebooks are used by teachers in an experienced way, they will besituated within structured learning experiences, and teachers will use the information collectedby notebooks for dynamic understanding through collaboration [19]. However, this use may notalways be reflected in teacher practice. In a study of teacher
