The discussion of my time in Jordan demonstrates the beginning of my cultivation of a holistic view of problem solving, which I furthere developed with a number of interdisciplinary classes at Bucknell. A continued dedication of learning about disciplines outside my major equipped me with a sensitivity to different cultural, societal, political [issues, etc.]. The [opportunity] to live in a unique society and see how [Russians] interact with technology had a dramatic effect. It made me realize that different countries interact with different types of engineering innovation in different ways.Lessons LearnedThe review committee, while

If 3-D printing isnot an available option, students can still use the free, open-source software to design a 3-D caseand use the dimensions of their design to create the case out of cardboard, poster board, or anyother appropriate materials.

This decisionwas supported by the LLC Council because it promoted teamwork.In April the Engineering LLC took a trip to Pittsburgh (about 1.5 hours away) to go to theCarnegie Science Center and Museum. This was chosen because there was a special exhibit atthe museum celebrating the life and innovations of Leonardo DaVinci. As he is considered oneof the first engineers, the LLC Council thought that students would benefit seeing what DaVinciaccomplished in his lifetime with limited resources. While in Pittsburgh, the students also wenton a tour and rode the historic Duquesne Incline. Since the trip took the majority of the day

This can mean redesigning the curriculum, using every day examples in class andincreasing faculty student interaction.It turns out that good research supports these approaches.
