gateway to a research position,sometimes within weeks of the lab visit.What is Modeling?The complexity of the human body requires that biomedical engineers use models to developtheir hypothesis. Many variables can only be estimated based on previously published data.While there are multiple definitions of a “model”, we use the Hestenes’ definition which statesthat a model is a “conceptual representation of the real thing” [2]. In essence, a model is amathematical equation which provides a description of how a system works. In the human body,that description can be quite complex. Models allow us to use simplifying assumptions tounderstand multifaceted physiological processes.Faculty introduce each model by asking questions about the system to

At the sametime we held indirectly evaluation through a survey with various groups of the community.Indirect assessments were conducted (since fall 2008) through the application of a survey madeon the premises in which we asked the level of importance for each of the thirteen programoutcomes and the level of perceived progress of the students regarding these outcomes. Thissurvey was scored on a Likert scale by assigning values of 1 to 5 (1 = least, 5 = most important).The same scale was used to rate progress (1 = least perceived progress, 5 = most perceivedprogress).This survey was conducted among

barrier, istheir ability to succeed.Stephanie Adams (Dean)I thought about this from an ability standpoint. On a lot of our majority campuses, there's thisnotion of ability and belonging. There's still a subset that thinks that women and people of colorcan't or aren't able to do math, and therefore they don't belong. Or when you see them in theclassroom, “Well what are you doing here? How'd you get here?” Now there becomes thisconversation about whether you should be there from a perspective based on those things. Thatalso holds people back. So, “I can have all the ability in the world, but you don't think I belong.”For example, an African American male graduate student entered one of our research buildingsthrough the back door, like everybody

Rather than serving merely as a symbol of good engineering practice, the NSPE Code ofEthics and other written standards provide the raw material necessary for professional engineersto form an identity, often coming to life through application to case studies. Participants sharedmemories of case studies they had learned about early in their career that helped them determinehow they wanted to be perceived as a professional engineer.

Learning skills and new concepts requires a conceptual basisfor it to be impactful2. Furthermore, a lack of integration between one’s prior knowledge andnew curriculum materials is problematic given the education and cognitive science research thatemphasizes the importance of explicit integration of conceptual knowledge for successfultransfer of that knowledge to novel applications or new situations3 4 5.Project Lead the Way (PLTW) was chosen as the focal curriculum because of its widedissemination in the US (it has been adopted by over 17% of US high schools, and is present inall 50 states) and its

Teamworkis a necessary skill for engineers with its significance recognized by ABET (Accreditation Boardfor Engineering and Technology): Criterion 3, Student Outcome 5 - “Students should be able tofunction effectively as members of a technical team, and as leaders on technical teams”.Teamwork is often the key to solving the complex problems engineers face. One goal of higher education is to prepare students for their professional lives. Teamworkis imperative to solve “real-world” problems [3]. Teamwork is a highly important skill forengineers to have

guidance for understanding and improving the design ofmakerspaces and similar learning environments.1. INTRODUCTIONEach year students arrive at the steps of engineering colleges eager to become engineers.University makerspaces have emerged as a space where engineering students appear increasinglydrawn. An academic makerspace is part workshop, part classroom, and part community ofpractice. It is a place where real-world challenges are married with hands-on approaches; wherestudents are encouraged to prototype and realize ideas; where design meets manufacturing; andwhere a student’s mind, hands, and heart can be integrally intertwined. Learning in makerspacesis different than learning in typical engineering labs or classrooms not merely because of

]. Avariety of researchers have found that small group learning environments benefit girls [28], [48],[52] – [57]. Hands-on activities that emphasize applications of knowledge in real-world contextscan meet girls’ desire to know how their learning can be applied [55], [58], [59].Despite a number of beneficial outcomes associated with small group learning strategies, well-documented problems with small group learning also exist. The social dynamics andorganization of small groups can interfere with learning [60]. It is often assumed that placingstudents in small groups will result in their learning of collaborative skills and teamwork [61],but there is little research that supports this assumption [62].

The objective of this representation was“to provide an accurate representation of the data in real-time.” These timelines were createdusing a custom Java program that manipulated the data so that design activities receiving theprimary focus at any given time were drawn at the top of the graph while other, shorter durationand overlapping activities appeared as peaks reaching up from the bottom. For example, note theteal/green colored line for Modeling that appears across most of the top of the graph in Figure 11(since Modeling was Senior B’s dominant activity), while other activities spiked up below it,occasionally pulling the Modeling line down as they competed for precedence.

learning. This cycle is also the foundation on which learning statements are based,which we explore in Section 3. Additionally, Balmer builds on the work of Mistree et al. [3]whose work on project-based design education includes open design projects that are composedof a technical problem and problem context, which together are used to create an authentic, real-world experience. In agreement with the work of Dym et al. [2], we assert that preparingengineers for existing challenges faced by professional working engineers necessarily requiresexposure to open problems that force students to confront unknown variables, non-prioritizedrequirements, and situational context. Furthermore, we leverage the work of ABET [5], Eggert[6], Lahidji [7], and
