new interaction modes between students and agentsmore appropriate to learning design such as agents who generate a list of alternative componentsor designs for students to consider or offer strategies for overcoming fixation. The type of designpractice agents engage in, what type of role they assume and how they interact with students’ areall interrelated and mutually shape each other, however it’s not clear if they all have a one-to-onecorrespondence. Thus, there is flexibility in how these components may be integrated withininstructional design agents and considerable room for research and innovation in this space.Similar to the type of role instructional design agents assume, the curriculum or instructionalmaterial can help frame or

These came from instructor resources in achemistry writing textbook.10 A presentation by Leipold at the 2015 ASEE Annual conferencecontained quite a few innovative ideas that could apply to this lab.11 See Appendix C for ahandout from that presentation with one of the author’s scribbled notes. Additionally, ideascame from a lecture / lab format for an Engineering Physics course.12, 13The resulting modifications to the course are listed here and partially described in the syllabusexcerpt found in Appendix D:1.

Few studies have
simulations that provide quick feedbackto researchers in order to improve the initial model.45CMST’s role in scientific and industrial research wasproven beyond doubt when computational predictionsmatched behavior of physical models in high-stake cases(e.g., safety of cars and planes, emissions from engines, andapproaching storms). Its use was uniquely justified when astudy was impossible to do experimentally because of itssize (too big such as the universe or too small such assubatomic systems), environmental conditions (too hot ordangerous) or cost. CMST eventually demonstrated to be Basic concepts, details & factsgenerating innovation and insight, just like experimentaland theoretical research and this ultimately led to the S u b M o d e l

all students, including those with LBLD, navigatethe complexities of open-ended engineering projects.IntroductionAccording to IBM’s 2010 survey of over 1500 CEOs, creative thinking will be more importantthan any other trait for today’s students to succeed in an increasing complex world.7 TheAmerican Society of Engineering Education K-12 Center asserts that “engineering is creativity,”and that “problem solving and innovation brings out the best ideas from every student.”8 (pp.1)Engaging in engineering practices not only piques students’ curiosity, captures their interest, andmotivates their study, but also helps them deeply embed knowledge into their personalworldview, empowering them to tackle the major challenges confronting society today
, Rapid Reaction Technology Office (RRTO) the RRTOdeveloped an innovative program aimed at addressing this problem. The Rapid ReactionTechnology Office created Perseus II; a government program to enlist undergraduate students todesign unmanned marine systems (UMS) to help solve the underwater UXO problem. Withsupport from the Applied Research Laboratory (ARL) at Pennsylvania State University, theRRTO enlisted five schools: Florida Atlantic University (FAU), Florida Keys CommunityCollege (FKCC) , North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NC A&T),Georgia Institute of Technology (GT), and Stevens Institute of Technology (Stevens) to assignteams of undergraduate students to tackle the problem of underwater UXOs.

. The homogenous environment presentin these teams prevents the student team members from gaining experience working in diversegroups.Amazingly several students recognize that the lack of diversity among the team members willresult in less creativity and innovation expressed in their engineering products. P841: I think one of the best [qualities] a person could have is diversity, honestly. That brings out so many more ideas. Where one person has "all I have ever seen my entire life is this," someone with a different background has other ideas. So it really broadens the ideas. When a group is diverse it has a large impact on the creativity of the group and the creativity of the design of the final project, it's a

EngineeringAbstractHow can we impart the excitement of biomedical engineering to our freshmen from the momentthey step on campus? We have found great success with “Modeling and Design” an innovative,required course which engages our students as biomedical engineers from their first day at JohnsHopkins. Small groups, guided by upperclassmen lab managers, teaching assistants, and faculty,work through five modules including modeling human efficiency, the arm, and thecardiovascular system, as well as a foam core design project. By the conclusion of the fifthmodule, an independent modeling project, 96% of the students appreciate the value of working inteams to tackle complex challenges. They have become adept at developing and testing theirhypotheses, and presenting
