designprocess.Engineering Design Project Engineering design is an iterative decision-making process of devising components orprocedures that satisfy certain needs and constraints by utilizing basic science, mathematics, andengineering science [3]. Due to its iterative nature, it is not easy for a novice engineer to graspand handle the complexity of the design process, which encourages the development of variousmodels to describe the design process. In this study, we focus on models that are phase-basedand prescriptive for two reasons: (a) these models are developed based on best design practices[13]; and (b) these models are the most suitable for students [13]. There are countless modelsunder this category. Most of them describe the design process as a
EducationMotivation and BackgroundThere are two purposes for this paper. The first purpose is to describe our unique application oftwo different qualitative research methods to evaluate the implementation and outcomes for thefirst year of an NSF funded grant on STEM faculty development. We used two different researchmethods in order to be able to describe and examine adequately the underlying change processesand outcomes that faculty experienced during participation in Year One of the grant. The secondpurpose is to report out the implementation results and outcomes from this evaluation.The two different research methods were: (a) conjecture mapping1 and (b) self-study2,3,4. Thegrant evaluator used conjecture mapping, which is a method from design-based

However, this was thefirst effort to combine Kinect, Scratch, and Kinect2Scratch to develop interactive gamesfor children with ASD to engage in shower training.Four male and two female elementary school children with ASD (Allen, Bart, Chris,Diane, Emilie, and Fred) participated in this study. All of the children were enrolled inspecial education services under the autism category and their cognitive and adaptivefunctioning fell within the moderate intellectual disability range. Specifically, thechildren were selected based on the following criteria: (a) diagnosis of autism or anintellectual disability, (b) an Individual Education Plan (IEP) goal to improve adaptivebehavior related to personal care

present.Overall the new group exam consists of three phases: (a) Students jointly present their projectwhich usually lasts around one hour. (b) A joint phase usually lasting up to two hours where theexaminers ask questions to the group and where each group member can volunteer to answer thequestion or add something to what another group member has stated, and (c) an individual phasewhere each student directly gets a specific question. Sometimes the students draw the questionfrom a poll of questions at random, at other times the students are being asked something withinan area of the project report that the students did not previously say something about.

assistance regarding the analysis and design. Class sessions will shift away fromlectures as originally planned, to allow more in-class involvement of the instructor, althoughlectures will still have their place. In addition, students will be required to present their full finalresults to the instructor in advance, before presenting to the greater community. Some of thedifficulty of this first year will be ameliorated simply by the fact that enrollment is expected toincrease, so that a student team, instead of an individual, will take on the challenge and will thushave a more balanced workload. With these intended changes, we believe that the success of thiscollaboration will increase greatly in upcoming years.[1] C. B. Zoltowski and W. Lafayette
and the faculty mentor and our individual roles on the team. During the mid-semesterinterview, I also asked additional questions related to the existing cross-disciplinary model(Pragmatic Validation). I developed a unique set of interview protocol questions for each of theten students based on my observations in weekly team meetings (Figure 2, data type B and D)and each student’s progress reports (Figure 2, data type E) (Procedural Validation). Thisresulted in the development of ten unique interview protocols for just the second round ofinterviews.My initial data collection plan also included interviewing the two faculty mentors for the projectto gain their insights into makerspace team interactions. However, I did not follow through withmy

It will examine if perceived value of the credentialsand knowledge gained in the course is (a) generally positive or negative, (b) consistent across jobdescriptions (field of practice) (c) stable over time, and (d) consistent with employers’ view.Specifically, this paper looks at the
miss out on information. Instead, it is beneficial to not make people‘defend themselves’, by asking them to tell you about their experience instead.” Similarly, Participant B, whoidentified having previous design experience through co-curricular programs noted, “Asking "why" questionslimits the response to what is considered appropriate to be said and makes the interviewee feel somewhatdefensive about the practice being asked about, as they're being told it's necessary to justify it. A better way tophrase questions [is] to ask about how similar subjects are viewed or how an imaginary scenario involving thepractice would be perceived and responded to.” We observed that participants generally avoided “why” questionsin both the pre- and post

His national agenda emphasized (a)recruitment of students into STEM courses of study in K-16, (b) recruitment of dislocatedworkers and females into STEM careers, and (c) retention of K-16 students in STEM majors(Obama for America, 2012; U.S. DOLETA 2010, 2011, Ramlakhan, 2012). Findings from thiseconomic plan, coupled with other research and literature, recognizes the need for STEM careerand talent development in underrepresented populations.

classroom while also seeking the additional knowledge required to create a valuable endproduct for their client. Engineers are hired to create value for their employer, and if a studentonly knows how to follow a syllabus, then they will not be prepared to anticipate unknownopportunities to create value.
