with a design thinking approach, we involved key stakeholders from eachdepartment including students, faculty, staff, and administrators, in the research and design processto co-create solutions that addressed our three interrelated objectives in their specific department.The research study was guided by the following questions: RQ1. How might we make engineering more inclusive? RQ2. How might we better prepare engineering graduates for practice? RQ3. How might we use design thinking to address complex issues in engineering education?In this paper, we provide an overview of the multi-year project and discuss emerging findingsand key outcomes from across all phases of the project.

The MSD experience also relies heavily on technical skills and knowledgethat students acquire through their respective engineering program coursework as well asfoundational courses. After a comprehensive MSD course assessment and evaluation during thesummer of 2006, the MSD program educational outcomes (student learning expectations),describing what students are expected to know and be able to do by the end of the MSDexperience, are as follows:1.

Design solutions can then be explored byboth architects and engineers for qualitative and quantitative properties. These tools have beenused in previous research as a viable environment for design decision making [6], [7], [21], [22].Professionals have also used parametric modelling in practice when iterating design performanceanalysis, such as ARUP [23] and Foster + Partners [24]. In addition, computational thinking hasbeen incorporated in student education [25], and parametric models have been used as teachingtools to improve learning [26] and support STEM education [27], [28].

the applications. As they learn more about theproblems, the students often realize the need to re-formulate them, or the need to ask morequestions or obtain more data. They also realize that in industry one needs the best possibleanswer in the time frame dictated by design and production constraints. Students who are used toworking individually on math problems discover the need for teamwork. In meetings with the Page 12.67.4sponsor, students often learn that their analysis will be used to make a real decision, in somecases expensive decisions. This has an impact that homework and tests cannot imitate. Finally,they learn to communicate their
best practices to usein an online classroom. The first step is to choose a delivery method of the content in the courses.From research, it is seen that a majority of students are able to adapt to learning from onlinevideo lectures when synchronous with the recordings posted for future review [24].

There are certainly opportunities for students to develop these skills because the students surveyed here were freshman design students—they will receive additional training and practice opportunities as they progress through their college careers.

Thatcan nurture a symbiotic relationship between faculty development and institution building. This paper presents a framework called CCAARR (Choosing, Conditioning, Assessing,Allocating, Realizing, and Recognizing) for nurturing such a symbiotic relationship betweenfaculty development and institution building (Figure 1). Its use can help in identifying potentialleaders among college faculty members to successfully carry out institution building activities.Faculty development activity and institution building activities, in that sense, support each otheror have a “symbiotic relationship” between them. The framework is derived

A robust stakeholder engagement process will be undertaken to align activities withgoals, involving three undergraduate mentors per year as co-designers and co-facilitators.Although the Minor will be open to all students with basic qualifications, unlike traditional minorsthat require

The idea, however, thatany team will function at a high level (i.e., productively and constructively) without purposefuland well-informed effort is not true.
