The process of finding and telling car stories is introduced with the intent to use activestorytelling by highlighting different themes as a new design is developed.Graduate students and undergraduate students and faculty collaborate in a class group thatincludes both car enthusiasts and non-car enthusiasts. The common bond is their interest in storyand storytelling. During class, students work closely with a mechanical engineering designinstructor and a resident Automotive Historian.While the goals and curriculum featured in this work

coursethat ought to be part of the core curriculum at a liberal arts college, or at a comprehensiveuniversity? Many aspects of this course suggest a potential for success in such a role. Thecourse presents a variety of topics that attempt to integrate perspectives from multipledisciplines, which is a common charge for many core curricula. An increase in the diversity (byacademic discipline) of students enrolled in the course would also likely help to better integratethe course perspectives. As such, the next challenge in course development may be to take thecourse to a broader audience to see if results similar to those described in this paper can beachieved.Another possible area of study for the course outcomes is to break the students down by

were doing it to satisfy their own intrinsic values. While they still believed that good writingwas important to an engineering professional, the lack of continuity in the curriculum madewriting seem far less important to an engineering student.Compounding this devaluation, students often received negative social messages from otherstudents and even faculty about the value of communication coursework. Some students hadbeen told by peers to expect their writing class to be tedious, and mostly just a meaninglessrequirement. One student reported that in a subsequent class with a communication component,the instructor explicitly messaged that the students were there to get an easy grade on thatcomponent and pass through to more important work.The

Doing so would speed up implementation ofprojects and reduce overall research-related expenses. Discovering the linkages among thesevarious frameworks and systems could aid in discovering unique pathways to complex problemsthat would go otherwise unnoticed. Reverse-engineering of the brain, for instance, could greatlyreduce the cost of computational power by greatly enhancing processing speeds of computersystems.

However, there were some significant negative changes in the opinions ofstudents about including diversity in an engineering curriculum or teaching diversity byuniversity professors. Also, students did not have the motivation to combat racial bias whereit existed in teams.Fila and Purzer [24] investigated whether gender diversity adds the number of creativesolutions in design team projects.

ARCE curriculum requires upper-division students to complete three structural design labcourses on steel, timber/masonry, and concrete. In each, students have a culminating projectwhere they assemble a complete calculation and drawing package for an assigned building; thesesubmittals often involve 2-3 students and hundreds of pages of documents. The ARCE 451faculty elected to grade student submittals in Bluebeam (a tool utilized in the industry review andpermitting process) to provide feedback to the students. Adopting this grading methodologymeant that hardcopy paper student submittals were replaced by PDF files containing drawingsand scans of hand calculations, which the students organized in Bluebeam and then uploaded toPolyLearn.Student

Furthermore, since such competitions are extra-curricular in nature, only a small percentage of undergraduate engineering students elect toparticipate: engineering coursework does not lend by itself to the practice of elevator pitching,and a crowded curriculum may not allow for engineering students to take business classes at all,or opt into elevator pitch competitions [9].Thus far, we have found that the University of Rhode Island has introduced an elective courseavailable for engineering students that is similar in nature to the one we offer at Stevens Instituteof Technology (Stevens) in that it requires an elevator pitch competition as an outcome of thecourse.

This program was created in order tobetter show educational benefits, quality of learning, and retention and graduation rates. Sincethere are no standardized tests for the Essential Learning Outcomes (ELOs), there was a need todevelop a way to document and assess student learning in undergraduate education.The VALUE project was driven by an advisory board made up of 12 people, national andinternational leaders. The main goal was to generate a way to evaluate student learning that wasbased on the work students produced through the curriculum across a set of Essential
