Results2 of these surveys and more details of the summerworkshop were presented at the ASEE 2003 Annual Conference.Another measure of the success of this workshop was the interest it generated in follow-upcollaborations between UMBC and local high schools. A few examples include: • Invitations for UMBC to make several high school career day presentations. • Numerous high school class visits and tours of UMBC’s College of Engineering. • UMBC’s participation in the establishment of a High School Engineering Academy

Asthe facilitator of this process, I observed the teams working and asked them questions of whatwas the information behind a suggested system design point. While the team was brainstormingtheir ideas and solutions, these “outsider” questions required them to step back into their ownthought processes and assess what was the technical information that 1) created the idea and 2)what additional information would be required to ensure the team completely understands theidea or implementation. By questioning their knowledge and helping the teams identify

You can also ask the student how they are dealing with the feelings, whetherthey were able to focus on something else, and move on to how they approached the problem,preferably in a general sense so that it can become a discussion of strategies rather than solving aparticular problem. After addressing the aspect of the student that is most in crisis, a discussionof the particular issue will be feasible and more likely to have a lasting impact.Students are often so involved in the experience of their emotion, the difficulty and the pain, thatthey cannot productively focus on their work.

Some general questions faculty members should ask to helpdetermine the answer include: 1. Is the the level of the project appropriate for seniors in your program? Some projects just are too complex, require too much of a time commitment, or too long of a time period for a senior design project. Sometimes a project might be broken into pieces such that it would work for senior design. If managing the senior design team or training them to be really helpful to the

for research into functionally similar systems that can be used toanalyze the ability of engineers to represent engineered systems.BackgroundFunction and Functional ModelingFunctional models are tools that allow a designer to abstract a system to its flows of energy,material, and information to allow exploration of problems in a “solution-neutral” manner. Flow-based models generally stem from the work of Pahl and Beitz [1] who helped to formalize andpopularize the methodology in mechanical engineering design, but more broadly, functionalmodels may be used across controls engineering, systems engineering, software engineering, andengineering design [2].These models typically use two levels of abstraction: a black box model and a sub
