engineering design projects that more meaningfully address course goals while incorporatingthe content from the modules. The eight characteristics are detailed as follows: Encourage a Realistic Engineering Design Process. One goal of EDSGN 100 design projects is to introduce students to the use of an engineering design process. To this end, it is crucial for instructors to scaffold the project so that students develop a connection between the engineering design process and the activities, lessons, and modules in the course. This can include i) working from an explicit design process and ii) demanding iteration. Previous research has demonstrated the importance of connecting engineering education with professional practice to form

The overall goal is to develop dis- ciplinary communities of practice across the college of engineering. The approach is being promoted through semester-long faculty workshops and then through a semester of supported implementation of faculty classroom innovations. Changes in faculty beliefs and classroom practice should positively im- pact student performance and retention. He was a coauthor for the best paper award at the FIE convention in 2009 and the

In surveys of employers and graduates [1]-[3], we witness a growingneed for enhancing writing abilities of future engineers. Naturally, research on engineeringwriting has explored ways to provide course-level writing support for engineering students,especially for undergraduates [4].

Forexample, the systems dynamics community emphasizes understanding the temporal dynamics ofinterconnected parts, including the effects of feedback and emergent behaviors, via conceptualand simulation models3. Others have emphasized design in a broader context, includingassessment of societal impacts and awareness of economic and societal goals4.In our practice-oriented view, systems thinking is already pervasive across engineeringdisciplines, highly valued in industry
