This is work-in-progress, andpart of a larger project that aims at exploring students’ development of global competencies. Thecurrent paper advances our understanding of boundary crossing that occur within an engineeringdesign team, and it asks: a) what boundaries were encountered in globally situated engineeringdesign projects in a Canadian University and, b) how can these boundaries enable students tomake productive progress in their global leadership skills?Theoretical PerspectivesThe study was guided by three theoretical perspectives namely: 1) Vygotsky’s socialconstructivist perspective allowed for the study of students
, respectively, as well as a “Comments/Suggestions” box for open endedrecommendations. These questions (together with the TA evaluation section) provide a holisticreview of all major aspects of a course, allowing the instructor to obtain broad and detailedstudent feedback to support future changes in the course delivery.The rating scale used in the questions of the course evaluation surveys is selected to match thescale of the rating system of each university. Thus, course evaluation surveys administered inUniversity A use a 6-point scale (A to F), whereas, course evaluation surveys administered inUniversity B use a 5-point scale (A to E). “University A” refers to the Department of Civil,Environmental and Architectural Engineering at the University of

mold was washed and cured as done previously inRef. [16]. The mold was washed in 99% IPA for a total of 50 minutes. During washing, the moldwas shaken on a digital shaker at 160 rpm. Additionally, it was removed from the IPA and blownoff with compressed air every 10 minutes. This helped to remove the excess resin. Once washed,the mold was placed into the UV oven to finalize the resin solidification. It was exposed to UVlight for four cycles, totaling 40 minutes. Finally, the mold was placed into a conventional ovenovernight at 130°C. This finalized any chemical reactions occurring within the resin, allowing forPDMS to cure on the interface of the mold and PDMS.Figure 7: (A) 3D-printed plastic master mold for the channel modules.

Following this, the TRUE modelwas adopted as part of the capstone design.In the summer of 2020, only two types of capstone projects were encouraged: (a) TRUEprojects and (b) Student-initiated projects that were reviewed and approved by a facultycommittee through a proposal system. By Spring 2023 (as of the writing of this work-in-progress paper), all capstone design projects in the department of EE have been converted tofit the TRUE project model, which means all capstone projects are real-world projects withindustry/community sponsors/partnerships.

The goal of this challenge-based engineering project was to explore if a team (a) with just a general background inengineering (role filled by undergraduate students), (b) modest resourcing and (c) in a relativelyshort period of time, could assemble an underwater vehicle to perform a specified mission. Theproject culminated with the operational demonstration of the underwater vehicle in a dive lagoonand the acquired engineering skills. Ultimately, we believe this project uniquely exposedundergraduate students, including minorities, to challenging real-world ocean engineeringproblems so as prepare or
reconsider the role that spatial skills actuallyplay in training engineers. This paper argues that spatial skills testing and training interventionsare a misuse of the time and energy of people who want to help women and other historicallyexcluded students succeed in engineering. We must reframe our interventions withoutperpetuating deficit models about cognitive abilities like “spatial skills,” a construct which, inspite of its wide popularity in the STEM education community, has been very poorly formulated.References[1] S.

operational efficiency so that theycan use their technical skills to address the challenges and make an impact on the communities.Service-learning is a course-based, credit-bearing educational experience in which students (a)participate in an organized service activity that meets identified community needs and (b) reflecton the service activity in such a way as to gain further understanding of course content, a broaderappreciation of the discipline, and an enhanced sense of personal values and civic responsibility[7]. The benefits of service-learning are reciprocal among the students (service-giver), theinstitute (facilitator), and the service-receiver [8, 9].

Assessment has been done through the use of pre- and post-tutorial quizzes, studentopinion surveys, and demographic surveys of student learning styles. Furthermore, theimplementation of a design project that involves an application of the knowledge gained from thetutorials is also discussed.Introduction The finite element (FE) method is a widely used tool in industry for analyzing engineering problems. The most basic FE theory and applications are offered primarily as a graduate- level course, or in some cases, as an upper-level
