Therefore, the sooner thislearning process for future success begins, the greater would be the benefits for both the studentsand their employers. Recognizing this need many universities in the United States offer studyabroad programs, both at graduate and undergraduate levels. Shuman et al. (2005) argue thatmanufacturing and global supply chain can best be studied “if classroom work is combined withtruly multidisciplinary team projects and well-designed field visits” in other countries.Furthermore, one of the ABET accreditation criteria (also known as ‘outcomes h’) requiresengineering programs to provide students with a broad understanding of

Since the lessons were optional, the inverted classroom was not used in thissemester but rather a traditional lecture setting. Therefore, this semester has been included in thetraditional lecture results. Also, it can be seen in many of the results below that the data from thespring 2018 semester falls between the old (traditional lecture) and new (inverted classroom)averages, indicating that the addition of the online adaptive homework had an impact on theresults, but not as much as the full courseware package or inverted classroom experience.

problem finding plays a key role in producing tangible outcomes. Problem finding tasks aremore interesting, engaging, as well as ill-structured, eliciting free associations of ideas [11].Rubenstein et al. found that students who planned to use more elaboration strategies tended toidentify more potential problems and the number of problem identification strategies significantlycorrelated with problem-solving fluency and problem-solving flexibility [12]. This finding haspractical implications for educators of mature students, as it suggests that they should incorporateexercises that promote problem finding skills into their teaching practices. Much recent research addresses the need to improve engineering education. For example, [13-15] discuss

We have created a social innovation program called Ignite that uses the principles of human-centered and liberatory design to educate a global community of students on engineering conceptsthrough design thinking rooted specifically in the SDGs. The Ignite curriculum contains three keycomponents: (1) creation of a physical prototype, (2) a community-based design challenge centeredon the use and implementation of the prototype, and (3) peer-to-peer learning, which results in avirtuous cycle of learners who become leaders who generate more learners.

: “This Is Rocket Science”There is strong evidence in the literature [cf., 5, 6] that retention to graduation in highereducation is improved by interventions and engagement in the first year. Such first-yearinterventions might take the form of a “low-stakes” course that includes close interactionbetween faculty and students, and/or connecting to student clubs and university research labs.The “This Is Rocket Science” first-year seminar (FYS) is designed to provide just suchopportunities for engagement.

Yet, women hold only 12% of the scienceand engineering jobs in business and industry. Unfortunately, it is evident that trying tointerest students in STEM careers is not easy. Most of these programs are excellentprograms. However, since these programs are usually of short duration, evaluation of theprograms and specific components are difficult, and reports of evaluation efforts arelimited. Thus, it is difficult to know what works and what doesn’t work, and what thebest practices that should be replicated

In addition, research on a service-learning designprogram found that a human-centered approach utilized in that program helped students orient toethical considerations, motives, and decisions, yet the students tended to narrowly focus onethical concerns linked to interactions with users while struggling to explicitly see the salience ofethics for their day-to-day design work [17].Previous research continues to reveal novel insights about engineering students’ understandingsof ethics and social

These problems typically require simulations using controlled real-world situations designed to meet specific learning objectives, or prototyping in a real-worldenvironment2 in which students are exposed to real situations with open-ended projects.
