in multidisciplinary teams, which hasled universities such as Purdue to create courses that explicitly build interdisciplinaryconnections within their students’ minds.18Many emerging philosophies in first-year engineering education focus on a holistic approach toengineering education. For example, a great deal of work has been done to validate theusefulness of learning communities, which are being implemented at several universities.9,19Other universities, such as Texas A&M and the Air Force Academy, are working very hard toprovide their students with an integrated curriculum that combines engineering, mathematics,and science into one course sequence, helping students to better see the interconnections amongthose topics.20-22Another

profile is a widely recognized and implemented tool for understandingindividual proclivities. One key aspect of the behavioral model underlying the MBTI isthat whereas some students will intuitively grasp concepts illustrated on a classroomwhiteboard, other more sensing-oriented students need hands-on experience to plantthose concepts within their minds. Research in engineering education supports the use ofthe MBTI and its effectiveness as a predictor of benefit from experiential education5,6.Indeed, among the key recommendations of the National Academy of Engineering’sEngineer of 2020 project is to begin experiential training of engineers as a seriousendeavor within the first year of college7.Another benefit of an experiential approach toward

a biology major. In fact,many of them actually had a career in mind, and pursued biology as the best way to achievethat goal. Furthermore, family members were not only supportive, but provided their childrenwith connections and opportunities within the field. It can be thought that this familiarity actsas a platform on which the professional identity can begin to form.Many of the other STEM majors also cited class as the time when they felt most like aprofessional in their field. Other factors that we believe to play a part in this discrepancybetween STEM majors and engineering students in particular is the presence the fields have inK-12 education. Other STEM fields, such as biology and chemistry, have a large presence inK-12 education

Description. As a second exercise, we ask the students to write a 2-3 page illustratedexplanation of how the clock timer works. In preparation for this assignment, the students read Thomas Edison’spatent for the phonograph.6 This brief patent serves as a model of effective technical description since it revealshow the sequence of a definition, discussion of form, and description of function can convey the essentialelements of a device. We also examine how Edison linked the patent drawings to the specification through the useof labelled parts. Finally, we use Edison’s patent to discuss how engineers must be able to integrate words andpictures in their minds in order to understand a device, theory, or mathematical concept.

You are encouraged to use physical and visual aids in your presentations, but if you elect to do so, you are still expected to be mindful of the time constraints imposed on the exercise. Once you have established a potential topic, e-mail your professor 24 hours or more before class time for approval and an exchange of ideas for the OME presentation. Your OME may deal with a topic in one of the following categories of topics, or you may suggest an additional engineering category for approval: Product or Device Presentation: “The Demo Minute” Demonstrate a device or product and the engineering principles used in its operation

Most offered lectures appear to have beenperceived as effective in students’ minds, and that should not come as a surprise given the fact thelecturers were instructed to highlight the connections between the presented background materialand the following hands-on exercises.

In addition, future research might gain additionalinformation from interviewing faculty and teaching assistants engaged in implementing designthinking curriculum.

[…] The practice of choosing the right language to speak with others outside of engineering will be vital while working in our fields once we graduate and the kid wind project allowed for us engineers to practice that.Finally, students reflected that working on multidisciplinary teams improved their listening skillsand gained open-mindedness. In order to make the team work while creating and revising the lessons, we had to be open minded and listen to each other as we had completely different backgrounds and specialties.Although 91.3% of students reported that they gained or enhanced their communication skills inthis project, only three students responded that it was the most valuable part of the project.
