There iscurrently a need for a baseline to study university makerspaces, their best practices, and thespecific ways that they can benefit engineering education. Morosz, et. al (2015) posited thatMaking activities in university makerspaces can improve retention and encourage broaderparticipation in engineering, noting that “there is a strong relationship between the amount ofengineering experiences and engineering design self-efficacy,” a quality which has been shownto increase retention among

Electrical,Mechanical, Civil, Software Engineers and even those experts outside of the engineering fieldshould collaborate to produce quality designs and solutions for the Future. With these newelements and demands in the engineering field, engineers are expected to behave likemultipurpose tools. Engineers with applicable knowledge form varying technological displacesthat can be utilized effectively on demand of the projects. Likewise, the engineers of
reported on, onlyfive articles reported using the statistical technique as opposed to using the term with some othermeaning. (For example, we saw articles refer to clusters of core classes or clustering studentstogether for collaborative learning; one article also reported the follow-up study to using clusteranalysis and was not included.) Table 1 includes characteristics of these studies using a taxonomyfor reporting cluster analysis informed by Clatworthy, Buick, Hankins, Weinman, and Horne.7Perhaps due to the relatively emergent status of engineering education research as a discipline,9few examples of clustering were identified. The scarce use of cluster analysis suggests the utilityof our methodological introduction and example here.Table 1

engineering design courses at USU and other institutional settings (e.g.,the American Society of Engineering Education). The workshops will include presentations,discussions, and tutorials to deepen participants’ understanding about what metacognition is,why it is essential for engineering education, and how it can be incorporated and assessed inengineering instruction. The EDMQ will be available online, and workshop participants will beinvited to use it to see how they are making a difference in improving student design skills. TheEDMQ may be used as a tool to evaluate where students are at different stages of a designactivity. Collaborations among institutions will be built at this stage.ACKNOWLEDGMENTThis material is based upon work supported by

research needs withinengineering education. We provide a comprehensive definition of complex systems educational research(Hilpert & Marchand, under review; Jacobson et al., 2016) and an overview of methods specific to theapproach (Hollenstein, 2013; Koopsman & Stavalomsis, 2016; Strogatz, 1994). After this, we delineate aresearch-based framework that can be used to develop and conduct complex systems research andevaluation. We identify two areas within the field of engineering education where complex systemsresearch can be useful: 1) educational research focused on student interaction and cognition and 2)assessment and evaluation of collaboratives such as grant funded projects and communication/publication networks. We discuss existing
perform integrativecollaboration and develop shared language to support that collaboration. First, ABET’sformalization of shared language has indeed made “program objectives” and “learningoutcomes” commonly understood terms among engineering educators. This is anindication of the power of shared language to standardize terminology and communicateacross institutions. However, the lack of parallelism between ABET and non-engineeringprograms’ accreditation standards means that non-engineering faculty do not necessarilyhave a similarly shared assessment vocabulary. Engineering faculty must be careful notto approach initiatives to “share language” related to integration efforts by simplyimposing their own language on other disciplines. The language

in which we live[10]. As engineering education includes more ill-structured, real-world problems, efforts to helpengineering students think more critically also need to grow and diversify [12]. The introductionof art education methodologies in engineering education may offer a potential solution towardsthese efforts.In a sense, different types of sketching can act as a form of framing and re-framing a problem.Sketching can be called a physical form of multiple perspectives, one in which the same object isviewed from different sides to represent the overall object. Consequently, sketching remains acrucial part of the design process, for it acts as a form of collaborative communication as well asa way to highlight issues that can be difficult
