Design in Engineering Education

engineering design research focuses on developing computational representation and rea- soning support for managing complex system design. The goal of Dr. Morkos’ design research is to fundamentally reframe our understanding and utilization of system representations and computational reasoning capabilities to support the development of system models which help engineers and project planners intelligently make informed decisions at earlier stages of engineering design. On the engineer- ing education front, Dr. Morkos’ research explores means to enhance engineering education, improve persistence in engineering, and address challenges in senior design education. Dr. Morkos’ research is supported by government [National

a “non-literal similarity comparison” [18] that relies on figurativelanguage to interpret “a thing or action through an implied comparison with something else” [7].For example, the metaphor “the mind is a computer” establishes a figurative connection betweenthe human mind—a relatively abstract entity—and an electronic computer, which, althoughcomplex, is far less abstract than the brain. In this example, linguists would refer to “the mind”as the target of the metaphor, and the “computer” as the base [3]. Knowledge can be transferredfrom the base to better understand the target, a process sometimes referred to as mappingknowledge from one domain to another [7]. For instance, we might transfer certain attributes of acomputer—storing memory

However, previous exam scores were used as predictor variables in later exammodels. For example, for the Exam 2 model, Exam 1 score was added as a predictor variable.The results showed that the online assessments did improve student exam performance comparedto the control semester. Also, college GPA and high school GPA were found to be veryimportant in predicting performance. The researchers also investigated the link betweenhomework procedures and student performance.
