She was selected to participate in the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Fron- tiers of Engineering Education Symposium in 2013 and awarded the American Society for Engineering Education Educational Research Methods Faculty Apprentice Award in 2014.Dr. Scott Streiner, Rowan University Dr. Scott Streiner is an assistant professor in the Experiential Engineering Education Department (ExEEd) at Rowan University. He received his Ph.D in Industrial Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh, with a focus in engineering education. His research interests include engineering global competency, cur- ricula and
and the successful execution of a world-class engineering designproject. This ensures that faculty-developed design projects are of an appropriate scope and contextin order to provide proper scaffolding to support the six individual educational modules. This paperdemonstrates how such a framework can be applied to both create new projects for the course, aswell as redesign existing projects to better meet course goals and incorporate module content.1. MOTIVATION AND BACKGROUND Introduction to Engineering Design (EDSGN 100) acts as the cornerstone engineering coursefor over 3800 students across Penn State’s numerous campuses each year. This includes studentsfrom almost all engineering disciplines offered at 20 Penn State campuses. Each
safety to decrease as the number of international students are increasing ina team.Keywords Psychological safety, gender, international students, teamwork, team composition.Introduction and literature reviewEngineering students should be able to work in multi-disciplinary teams [1], and engineeringprofessions needs engineering graduates who have the teamwork skills [2]. Working in diverseteams is one of the required skills. So, engineering instructors sometimes using teams in theirclassrooms, but addressing the issue of diversity in the engineering classroom teams is difficultand there is a need for new practice and instruction to improve the attitude of students aboutworking in the diverse teams [3]. Although diversity can be in term of gender
