She is currently a Professor in Biological Systems Engineering at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Her role in the College of Engineering at UNL is to lead the disciplinary-based education research initiative, establishing a cadre of engineering education research faculty in the engineering departments and creating a graduate program. Her research focuses on the development, implementation, and assessment of modeling and design activities with authentic engineering contexts; the design and implementation of learning objective-based grading for transparent and fair assessment

for designing for manufacturability andpromote a design mindset conscientious of manufacturing costs and time which managers andemployers value. The goal of any proposed engineering curriculum addition should be, in someway, to better prepare students to be ready to engineer immediately upon graduation. Thisproposal outlines a plan to accomplish exactly that by reconciling with the need in the industryfor engineers who understand common manufacturing processes and how to design for them.Whether a student goes on to become a researcher, practicing engineer, project manager,independent consultant, or engineering entrepreneur, their background will be strengthened by anunderstanding of manufacturability considerations and systems engineering

• Practice inquiring about internship opportunities in research labs and in industryFigure 1. Throughout the course students conducted structured critiques of sample technicalwriting: (a) structured critique worksheet for x-y scatterplots and line graphs and (b) scatterplotfrom a technical writing sample.Two major summative assignments were designed to integrate multiple communication skills(Figure 2). These were multi-week assignments (6-7 weeks) with a mandatory draft submission(due week 4-5, 5% grade) with feedback from teaching assistants followed by a final submission(95% of grade), which was graded by the instructor. Like weekly assignments, the summativeassignments required students to take on the role of product engineer at Melissa and Doug

basics of CAD modeling (simple geometry and drawings).It also incorporates building a physical model using traditional machine shop techniques and 3-Dprinters. While ME 250 is an important course for developing engineering identity, ME 347actually develops the mechanical engineering design identity due to the open-ended nature of theproject and considerations of manufacturability and practicality. ME 347 builds upon the CADskills learned in ME 250 and incorporates more detailed geometric modeling with advancedmates and engineering drawings. Generally, about 100 students enroll in this course persemester, with 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of lab per week. The lab sessions are smaller, withabout 35 students, and run by multiple graduate teaching

An important aspect of improvement in the course structure wasaddition of mini-labs, small concept experiments or practical problems in the classroom to bringan entrepreneurial mindset to the course. The present research also highlights the studentmotivation as this is another area of focus for modern instructional design. The study used theprocess of asking students to grade their own homework. The students were provided with thecorrect answers after submission of their assignments on the LMS and provided with a gradingrubric developed in an earlier study to grade their work. This helped students learn the materialmore effectively, instilling and encouraging self-learning. This also helped the students to

The researchproject focused on development of a strategy to inform engineering designers of the benefits, ordrawbacks, of engaging in either digital prototyping or physical prototyping (or both). Theproject was funded by industry and the college. The project ran for a ten-week summer session,but then continued after that in a less aggressive manner.

The lack of impact from RBIS driven change effortscreates a nearly circular effect - low impact suggests the need for more programs that have limited impact,which suggests the need for more programs. However, we know little about how faculty experience thesecalls for change or put them into practice. What we do know about the results of change efforts isillustrative. First, some faculty see coordinated efforts as disempowering when historically informalacademic systems are formalized [10]. Second, many, if not most, teaching changes are

Often, the class becomes compartmentalizedto focus on one mechanical element at a time. While initially effective, allowing students totarget their efforts and study habits, it can be detrimental if no strong connections are builtbetween the different learning modules at the end of the class.This paper presents a case-study of a unique and highly engaging
