engineering design studentsAbstractThis evidence-based practice paper describes the use of creativity practice exercises intended toenhance student creativity in a capstone design program. Engineering programs, in general, andcapstone design programs, in particular, that seek innovative conceptual solutions to complexproblems would benefit from techniques to develop and assess student creativity. Therefore, astudy was performed to evaluate two such techniques. Over the first two years of the study,capstone design students in the United States Air Force Academy’s Department of EngineeringMechanics were each assigned to one of 14 teams which received various learning experiences(treatments) intended to enhance individual creativity and design project

Theoverall goal of this study is to construct a grounded theory of engineering leadership as acomponent of the professional formation of undergraduate engineers. Informed by an analysis ofnational data, the grounded theory approach will lead to an explanatory model of engineeringleadership identity development. An initial application of the model will develop and test a seriesof educational interventions, enabling engineering educators to more effectively train engineeringstudents in leadership. In the first phase, existing national data sets of college students are analyzedusing quantitative methods to better understand how

One uses arithmeticaland algebraic principles to understand sentences as equations with the parts of speech asvariables. Level Two focuses on more complex applications of “sentence algebra” to helpengineering writers troubleshoot common sentence-level errors and develop a clear, discipline-specific style. Level Three uses flowcharts as algorithms to teach the rhetoric behind effectivedocument structures. The system’s quantitative approach and bottom-up paradigm make it user-friendly for engineering students by guiding their ascent toward writing mastery using anapproach already encountered in the students’ studies of math, physics, chemistry, and otherSTEM disciplines.

This program is offered as a one-credit pass/fail course for students in theirfirst and second years in the College and has met with varying levels of success, as measured bystudent performance, feedback on student surveys, and faculty perceptions of their effectiveness.Approximately 100 AEW courses are offered throughout the academic year for mathematicscourses (pre-Calculus through Calculus III) and select engineering classes. Students register forAEWs that correspond to the particular mathematics and/or engineering course(s) in which theyare enrolled. Because Syracuse University students pay block tuition, there is no financialdisincentive to enrolling
