Small groups of approximately ten freshman students areassigned a mentor. The mentor is responsible for organizing and leading group activities withtheir protégés’ every other week.

advisors.GUIDE meetings, seminars and requirementsAs part of the GUIDE program, all scholars attend Engineering Seminars (see Table 1) duringthe Fall Semester. Each year, the seminars have varied depending on the requests and needs ofthe students. Faculty from each engineering department and representatives from the communityand campus have talked with the students. Due to student requests, there are 2-3 seminars eachsemester where scholars become better acquainted with the other GUIDE teams. These haveranged from carving pumpkins to a personal scavenger hunt (e.g.: students find out who hasvisited all 50 states, or who has the most pets at home). Many of the seminars have evolved intopanel discussions with students and/or faculty. One of the most

BLI would like to develop a simple transilluminator system for the nasal sinuses. Transillumination is a very old technique where a light source is place in the mouth, and the room lights are shut off. If one has fluid in the sinuses, the face will be dark. If one has air, the face will light up like a pumpkin. It is based on the higher transmission of the red and Near-IR wavelengths. The design team can replace the light source

Pump- Number of Pumpkin seeds to plant The former is the secondary formulation for Experience (XP) maximization. Notice that Raspberries (Razz) are not in the Optimization Function and any XP gain from Razz must be from places Plowed (Plw). Constraint 1 limits the time available to the next 12 hours, but multiplies by the number of plots available (24*12=288). Page 22.1636.6 As apparent from the formulation, students replaced the previous plants with newunlocked plants. At each juncture, the student must choose which seeds to evaluate. Thisleads a variable to potentially last through to the Final Formulation.Table 3

are examples of how specific teams met this criterion for success: • “Rain-Catch Irrigation System.” The team chose to focus on a particular village in The Gambia, where most of the population is comprised of subsistence farmers and essentially all of the annual rainfall occurs within a 4-5 month period. The team identified a community building with a corrugated metal roof suitable for a gutter system, researched costs of specific building materials in The Gambia, sized and costed a concrete water storage facility, presented research regarding the time and water required to grow pumpkins and squash, and quantified the number of acres that could be irrigated during the dry season for this length of

ScalePast projects of “Exploration of Engineering Design” have been speculative in nature; studentswere given a design problem statement and had to speculate both the customers’ needs and thecontext of the problem. For example, one semester project featured students designing and Page 14.2.4building devices capable of launching pumpkins. While such projects promote basic problem-solving and resource management skills, their limited context and concrete objectives did notprovide a significant opportunity for the students to achieve all of the course’s learningobjectives (e.g., interpreting customer needs, managing a design project, framing an open

The team did heat transfer calculations showing that a crock-pot sized device that was charged with dry ice could maintain a temperature cold enough for a time long enough to produce carbonated fruit. They also submitted a reasonable device cost estimate
