For this case study, the following were the research goals: Explore the effect of a learning-centered educational paradigm on MET students’ engineering design, problem-solving, communication (written and verbal), and group skill development. Access student perceptions of the course, instructor, and active learning elements via end- of-semester course evaluations (i.e., indirect assessment).

think and work [6].Design thinking is a problem-solving approach that emphasizes transdisciplinary and holisticskills to develop an innovative and comprehensive skill set among students [7]. In today's rapidlyevolving and technologically advanced world, integrating design thinking into engineeringeducation has become a valuable strategy to prepare students for success [8][9]. However,despite the growing interest in design thinking, there is a need for a systematic review of theliterature to explore its current state and identify future research trends. A review of the literaturecan provide a comprehensive overview of the research on design thinking in higher engineeringeducation, identify the strengths and limitations of the current literature

Two studies to examine performance and retentionfound that LLCs had little effect on first-semester grades but increased first-year retention inengineering by 2 to 12%. Unfortunately, one of these studies did not control for differences inincoming student characteristics, and another used a comparison group that differed little fromthe LLC group, possibly causing them to understate the LLC’s true effects. To improve ourunderstanding, this paper examines performance and retention in the inaugural EngineeringLLCs at a small, private non-profit, regional university in the northeastern United States.Results indicate that 82% of the Engineering LLC participants

The gameis designed as a cooperative board game to emphasize the feature of multi-criteria decision-making by facilitating discussion among players who would have different weights on theconsidered criteria. The multi-criteria nature can demonstrate all the different facets a structuralengineer will need to consider as they design infrastructure for communities and work to

AI begins with theidentification of positive attributes and then connects those attributes with the community’svision and action for change [32]. Thus, AI research methodology is highly generative in natureand consists of a 4-D cycle of phases: discovery, dream, destiny, and design. For example, AIresearch methodology places emphases on strategically engaging stakeholder representatives(key faculty at the host institutions, students, and graphic artists) in a networked improvementcommunity in order to gather relevant contextually bound data pertaining to each
