toreflect upon this issue in that week’s reflective writing.Retrospective sessionsRetrospectives9 are a mechanism to leverage the design capacity of groups to learn from whathas happened, strengthen teams, and create intention for what to do in the future. They also helpstudents to realize how much was accomplished, which brings satisfaction and confidence, andhow much was not accomplished, which brings realism and identifies areas for innovation. Wehad scheduled one 30-minute retrospective session every week, with full 2-hour retrospectiveshalf way through the course and at the end of it††. These retrospectives used a variety ofexercises done in groups or by the entire class. Doing group exercises allowed students to seethe difference between

This paper presents some ideas, which involve student projects in many parts of theworld plus a program for faculty training and industrial interactions.I. IntroductionThe work for this project has taken place at a highly innovative university in New England,Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). There have been three parts to this project, one partfocuses on students, a second part focuses on faculty training, and while a third part is involvedwith industry.In the past, traditional engineering education focused on fields such as mechanical, electrical,civil and chemical engineering. In management, fields such as marketing, production,organizational behavior and finance still

It wasexplicitly designed as a “capstone” experience to meet both the department’s own sense of what itsstudents needed and the engineering education community’s sense that a major design experiencewas an essential culmination to a student’s education. 8,9,10 Shortly after its inception, the SEcapstone project received one of only four innovation awards given by ABET.

is the “Gizmo” project.Student teams of four students of diverse engineering major are asked to create a working“gizmo” for $20 or less in materials that a teacher or Scout leader could use to educatechildren about a given topic in math, engineering, or science. Gizmos were described asteam-created, interactive, functional creations. Use of pre-made parts was allowed, butany such parts had to be used in a creative or innovative way. For example, Lego brickscould be used to make a Gizmo, but not if used to exactly replicate the design on thepackage. Further, some element of student construction had to be included for a Gizmoto “count” – mixing baking soda and vinegar might be interesting and even educational,but without a built component, it

As with any innovation of this kind not only are student attitudesto them important but so are those of the faculty who teach mainstream subjects. Takingtogether the research undertaken at the time suggests that liberal studies were somewhatmore successful than they might have been.The system of third level education in England and Wales circa 1955 [1]In the British Isles there are five different education systems that are separately managed.In addition to the republic of Ireland there are four systems in the United Kingdom (UK)viz England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and

Because we work with innovative practicing engineers, they are almostalways willing to engage in a new methodology if doing so might improve workflow.Once they begin to engage with these new presentation methods, however, a quickrealization sets in that they will be communicating against the tide, so to speak, when itcomes to slide design. It is all too common for the design tradition of slides at a givenorganization to be rife with fragmented headers, bullets, and heavy text. This is the norm,even when the format is reviled.These engineers soon understand that making a change in the communication structure isakin to making a change to the organization itself.

Theparental leave policy is our main social system, situated along with the other systems that worktogether with it (such as FMLA, sick leave, unpaid leave, etc.). These systems seem to be rigid,but actually they reflect a series of processes in a state of change.As an example, Kirby and Krone11 conducted a discursive study of

Forexample, most people are motivated to develop products that will have an impact on herself,himself, or someone they love. For example, a team of women designing cars think about wherethe in-car light is located, and for childcare and safety reasons, situate it near the floor instead ofits common location in the dome of the car4. This suggests that similar people with similarexperiences will conceive a subset of product ideas relating to their subset of experiences.
