The study’s purpose was to “…provide insights into the research question of whether freshman undergraduate engineering students can be more innovative than seniors.” Student teams were challenged to design a “next-generation alarm clock” and analyze the Page 26.421.7 results for “originality and technical feasibility.” Conclusion: “Freshman-level students generate designs with higher levels of originality than their

Often they aremore responsive avoiding negative consequences than they are at seeking positive outcomes. Thetiming of the negative consequence is much more important than its magnitude. This is thephilosophy of the unit quiz, a primary instrument used to emphasize and measure conceptualknowledge. The unit quiz is particularly effective in the engineering science courses that mayemphasize operational knowledge at the expense of conceptual knowledge.The Unit Quiz (a.k.a. the Reading Quiz) Originally referred to as a “unit quiz” because it is based on a “reading unit,” in practice it isoften referred to as a “reading

Community relations and impact comeinto play when they generally interact with the partner or are needing input and feedback. The balance seen in these reflections is similar to what has been seen in other data from theoverall program. In particular, a study of alumni [13] found that it was the interplay of thesedimensions that was cited by graduates that created the exceptional learning experience.
