Figure 4 shows the sequential steps duringthe test of predictions by using PMT phase. Figure 4. Sequence of the testing predictions by using PMTParticipants explained what they felt/observed using the PMT, and based on their observation-they were asked to confirm or change their answers from the prediction phase.

Each student chooses her own unique set of experiences, to achieve thedistinction of Grand Challenge Scholar, endorsed by both the university and the NAE. Amajority of the experiences must also be aligned with the Grand Challenge(s) they have chosento dedicate their efforts toward solving. At ASU, students choose one of five grand challengetheme areas (Education, Energy, Health, Security, Sustainability) or one of the 14 NAE GrandChallenges [2].

We are also optimistic that these two courses are moving in theright direction as both instructors are methodically refining their redesign strategies, which theywill continue to implement this semester and in future semesters. Our goal is to continue ourefforts in both courses and hope to find the right formula for improving them – especially theDFW rate in Engineering Statics – as we move ahead with the project. We look forward toreporting our complete results at the conference in June as well the direction of futureengineering course redesign efforts at Temple University.ReferencesAmbrose, S. A

Specifically, according to [25], theS*Metamodel constitutes a minimal representation with which an engineering system can bedescribed accurately. This S*Metamodel framework provides the foundation for the developmentof the design canvas wherein the smallest amount of data is needed to represent the underlyingsystem and characterize the relationship among its disparate components.

that engineering students have to have an innate initial propensity inmathematics versus an ability that is learned. For these reasons, many students who did not fare well in the traditional high schoollevel math sequence, attempting to try a similar path in college may be settingthemselves up for a repeat conclusion. According to Snyder and Dillow (2011), morethan 1.7 million students enter the community college system. Based primarily uponperformance on a placement test, approximately 60% of these students are placed intoone, if not more, developmental mathematics course(s). Fully 80% of them do notcomplete any college-level mathematics courses within as many as three years (Bailey,Jeong, & Cho, 2010).At our North Dakota Tribally

The distinction between a motivator and an inspirer is that inspiration serves to create a positive feeling, but does not necessarily cause the person(s) to apply themselves to achieve the goal/improvement.• Serving Others: The person serves a community or the needs of society.
