Many core and elective coursesin the mechanical engineering curriculum require use of engineering software such as AutoDeskInventor, Working Model, Pro/Engineer, Pro/Mechanica, Nastran, and CFX. In order to meet theincreasing demands of computing power, the department has decided to implement a parallelcomputing laboratory to be used for undergraduate teaching and research activities.

Findingthat very few, even well-tested laboratory studies had impact on actual teaching and learning,researchers developed DBR as a way to test theories about how learning can be supported. DBRinvolves building a theory that takes context seriously and instantiating the theory into a designfor learning [46]. Iterative testing of the design under real world conditions provides anopportunity to assess both the design and the theory [5], [6].We were guided by the following research questions:RQ 1: How do sophomores’ and seniors’ assessments of their collective team’s professionalskills differ?RQ 2: Do sophomores show

society. Although laboratory research represents some of the real-life applications ofengineering concepts, it is not a core component of many engineering programs. As a study fromArizona State University indicates, this lack of classroom exposure to the professional reality ofengineering careers serves as a deterrent to students and graduates.4 In order to give engineeringstudents a balanced view of engineering, laboratory experience should be included tocomplement their academic classroom experience. This hands-on component of engineeringeducation can provide an important motivation for otherwise unenthusiastic students to stay inthe field and even excel.According to demographic data, groups that are traditionally underrepresented in

The latter approach often leads to students specializing in asubset of the core skills and competencies that are intended to be developed in the laboratorycourse.One approach to encourage all students to develop the core skills desired for the laboratory courseis to include a laboratory final exam as part of the course, which comprehensively assesses thedifferent skills and knowledge competencies intended for the laboratory course.

The control group is a major focused on engineering mechanics, which has atheoretical orientation that focuses on mathematical modeling based on first principles and haslittle formal design education prior to the capstone experience. The experimental group is amechanical engineering major that uses design as a context for its curriculum. In order to providea uniform basis for comparing students across projects and years, the authors use a task-independent protocol analysis method grounded in the Function-Behavior-Structure (FBS)design ontology.

Nevertheless, students’skills would be further developed if writing were included throughout the undergraduateengineering curriculum. But how can electrical engineering faculty do this? Research reportedin the literature describes constructivist and knowledge transformation frameworks of howwriting helps build knowledge in the sciences. Building on these theories, successful writingexperiences in engineering are “writing to communicate” rather than “writing to learn”.
