We have not conducted research to determine if mechanical andmanufacturing engineering students have a predisposition to being hands-on learners, but we doknow that the evaluations by students indicate that they like a hands-on approach to the topic.

Often times, a RAT isadministered to measure the understanding of one or two general concepts from prior coursematerial; it is also used to estimate the preparedness of each learner to move forward with newmaterial in the current course lecture. As a means of individual formative assessment, RATshave shown promise as a feedback tool for learners within a variety of classroom environments

In an educational environment that pressures new faculty to become effective anddynamic teachers there is a tendency to overuse and perhaps misuse the new cadre ofinformation transfer tools as well as the lecture. In undergraduate engineering education lecturesare commonly used to promulgate two levels of proficiency: Those that deal with basic skills andthose that deal with synthesis of knowledge. These two learning levels are similar in that theymust maintain the integrity of the lecture structure, but different in their content, complexity, andcommission. Student success in skill-developing courses is absolutely critical if the metamorphosisfrom engineering student to the engineering intern is to occur. It is impossible to
CE Project 2 was especially valuable. And while the students appreciated the face-to-face contact with Advisory Board members, they also believed that such feedback would have been helpful had it occurred earlier in the project cycle.Consequently, a poster presentation was added to CE Project 1. Because the syllabus wasalready crowded with deliverables, faculty decided that the presentation would be informal; thatis, Board members would not evaluate the posters, nor would the teams receive a grade. Rather,the members were asked to provide general feedback on such topics as the: • quality and effectiveness of the posters; • overall project concept; and • proposed subdiscipline scope of work.

IntroductionTeaming skills are very important in the practice of engineering. Engineers are required todesign complex systems and processes in a short amount of time and by necessity arerequired to work with others to accomplish these tasks. Leaders in industry repeatedlystate the need for engineers who can work effectively in teams and they are expecting theengineering educational system to produce these individuals [1, 2].Most would agree that engineering education has been designed to focus on rewarding Page 5.220.1individual
learning is the inclusion of student skills associated with anentrepreneurial mindset, such as integrating information from many sources to gain insight,conveying engineering solutions in economic terms, and identifying unexpected opportunities.The resulting entrepreneurially minded learning activities emphasize “discovery, opportunityidentification, and value creation with attention given to effectual thinking over causal(predictive) thinking” [3]. At Lawrence Tech approximately 75% of the engineering curriculum,including mathematics and general education, is being modified to include ACL, PBL, and EML.These courses span the curriculum and range from multidisciplinary Introduction toEngineering [6, 7] to junior level technical courses [8, 9] to
