most challenging academic and leadership experience I’ve had thus far. Not only is it extremely time-consuming and laborious, but it involves peer leadership which has been a very difficult task for me as team leader. 2 I’ve also garnered several lessons that will be highly relevant to my Leader Army experience; particularly in regards to group management, project planning and goal-execution. Despite the difficulty, the project was a rewarding experience, From this project, I will take the process of getting a problem that has limitations and find a way to solve it. As a lieutenant, it is my job to find solutions, to

-study. The plan wassimple: introduce the students to the professional topics and engineering constraints asearly as possible with additional opportunities to wrestle with the concepts prior toapplying them again in the senior design experience. The belief is that if students workwith these professional topics and engineering constraints throughout the curriculum,then they are better suited to consider most if not all engineering constraints within adesign process that also demonstrates accomplishment of professional outcomes. This Page 14.764.5appears to be a simple plan, but when added on top of the existing course content that

While there isliterature describing which brain regions support particular cognitive functions, far less is knownabout how these are developed through learning and how they support design thinking. Bymeasuring hemodynamic responses during brainstorming tasks with freshmen (n=14) and senior(n=9) engineering students we find a significant difference (p<0.001) in the cognitive activationrequired to generate solutions. Freshmen engineering students show 5 times greater activation inthe dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (known to involve working memory, cognitive flexibility,planning, inhibition, and abstract reasoning) compared to seniors. While seniors show an averageof 10 times increase in activation in the
