The authors plan to delve more deeply into artifact elicitation as anevaluative method in further work.This is not to suggest that Making takes the place of rigorous engineering training. As the datapresented in this paper shows, there would be a clear need for the purposeful integration ofhigher level math into project based making. Making alone does not appear to teach the mathskills needed for today’s engineer. The integration of higher mathematics into Making couldcome in the form of post-prototype write-ups.

Students’ difficulties with verbal communication directly interfered withtheir ability to work productively together.In this study we examine the verbal aspect of

He writes: “The impacts of this network on self-efficacy, and intentions found their origins in the Maine experience, and that the other side of this new network is that it helps the students to feel supported as they leave their old lives behind and begin to assume new roles in society. Prior to Suffolk, they had no engineering network at all. The contrast in the students' personal networks pre- and post-Maine was sharp. Although these students were provided with support during the year such as faculty availability, small class sizes, study groups, and weekly pizza parties, the Maine experience was both effective and essential for

Similar to the writing acrossthe curriculum movement of years past, EAC proponents integrate the study of ethics intocourses in the major, rather than farming it out to a philosophy department.

At a local scale, complex systems are in a constant state of flux Within complex systems, the local relationships among agents are constantly changing and agents themselves are changing their roles or moving into or out of the system in short periods of time. In other words, there is considerable, varied activity at a local scale. Within engineering education there is much happening at a local scale within a single day or even an hour.

As it is for music, so it is for technology. To be fully human is toindulge the creative spirit, not only in art such as music, but also in engineering and design.Abraham Maslow, in describing his hierarchy of human needs, notes that human self-actualization requires that one act out one’s identity: "A musician must make music, an artistmust paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself.

Withthe introduction of robotic systems, it became possible to provide students with hands-onlaboratory experiences to construct interdisciplinary and more complex systems. As roboticsystems have evolved in research and commercial applications, the number and complexity ofthese systems has also increased. A significant portion of the design process must now focus onthe integration of hardware and software. However, most senior design courses still emphasizejust on the software writing or the hardware construction parts. In order to address both softwareand hardware issues, it becomes essential to apply a team-based approach.Applications of robotic systems usually involve a

support the collaborative teamwork during the week at theNB.Compared with their peers, significantly fewer veterans under the age of 30 have completed anassociate’s degree or higher, arguably in part due to the military occupations in lieu of collegeexperiences. While this gap in college degrees decreases between veterans and non-veterans ofolder cohorts, the observed spike in unemployment for veterans underscores the importance ofproviding programs and services that support a successful transition to post-military careers(Dayton, 2016; Rothwell, 2014). Exploration throughout the course of the NWP may shed morelight on this observed finding, clarifying if other factors, besides the obvious choice differencesin post-high school directions, may
