Recommendations to address each concern were proposed: Concern #1: Do we need two practice sessions or is that overkill?Recommendation: Do only one practice session and two record sections. Allocate some general class time after the session to exchange general feedback on the process, the outcomes, and the lessons learned.Action: This was incorporated into the 2014

All of these traits are commonly cited desired attributes of a global engineer working in a multi-disciplinary world, and are reflected in engineering accreditation requirements today6-8. Project-based learning in particular can simulate an industry-like environment for students, to facilitate the development of the skills required for practicing professional engineers. In project-based learning, students are formally instructed to ensure they have the foundation of knowledge needed to work on and complete the project assigned9,10. Emphasis is

The engineering professors delved even further intothe energy policy process by participating in the governing board of the largest electric utility inPuerto Rico and as advisors to the Governor. Policy actions from engineering professors andstudents played an important role in the passing of a comprehensive electric sector reform inMay 2014. The paper also presents university education efforts (supported by a DOE grant) thatprovide the electricity sector workforce and stakeholders with tools and knowledge needed toimplement the reform mandated by law. The paper concludes with assessment results from a newcourse created once the professors returned to UPRM, a reflection on the background requiredfor effective energy policymaking

The ability to make products in volume, allowed the US to dominate the world inmanufacturing output, and increase its gross domestic product.

participation in study abroad for STEM students is not due to lack of interest orintent. The literature indicates no statistically significant difference in intentions betweenstudents in arts and humanities majors and students in business, education, or science,technology, engineering, and math [8]. It appears that the question of most engineering andtechnology students is not whether or not they would like to study abroad, but rather whether ornot they feel able to study abroad with all the demands on their academic time.Engineering programs throughout the U.S. and the rest of the world follow very stringentcurriculum designs, with courses sequenced fairly inflexibly in most graduation plans.

No one is telling you what to do step by step.It's a very creative [space]. Inside the classroom, the same creativity isn't necessarily used.”Shortly after, he reflected on the effect that the project process had on his ability to design andmake, stating, “Basically, it taught me how to break things down into parts in my head, and thatmakes it so much simpler.” Due to his ability to apply the concepts learned in class to the maker-projects he was simultaneously working on, Bryan considered

Cronbach’s alpha is a common metric forgauging reliability. Its calculation reflects the internal consistency, that is, how related a set ofitems are as a group. Higher values reflect a set of items that are more closely related (valuesrange from 0 to 1.0). For all concepts the calculated Cronbach alpha coefficient was acceptable(above .70), and a composite score was generated using the average response value acrossassociated items. The instrument continued to be refined year to year in keeping with thechanging nature of the project, and new constructs with new questions

Students then brainstormed and exploreda variety of design modifications, using modeling software to evaluate the potential impact ofeach change on rocket altitude. Next, students modified their rocket kits to reflect changes theymade in the computer model to increase flight altitude.

This natural preference for learning is reflected in the genericlearning pyramid that was first proposed by National Teaching Laboratory Institute at theirBethel, Maine campus in the early 1960’s and the related work have been proposed by severalother researchers [31-34]. Though rightly criticized, the pyramid provides a measure of contentretention from lectures (5%), laboratory experiments (70%), and design projects (90%).
