Individual and team assignments and projects are structured with the required output as the product. To be successful in the process of product realization students must engage in project planning and management individually and in teams as may be appropriate. Output, or products, may range from brief ‘executive’ analyses or reports relevant to course objectives to comprehensive ‘publication ready’ technical papers or reviews prepared in response to initial requests for proposals (RFP). Research topics reported range from organizational planning and control, manufacturing

in the world of higher education. Before the launch of a BS-Engineering program at Biola University in Fall 2023, there was no engineering design or project basedcurriculum in the previously existing majors. Therefore, engineering faculty decided to offer a SummerEngineering Internship (SEI) program to give lower-division students a more hands-on internship-likeexperience that would be enriching and relevant for students’ future careers.The program provides students 128 hours (16 hours per week for 8 weeks) of hands-on engineeringexperience. During SEI, students go through the whole engineering design process from client interviews,to designing, prototyping, and presenting their final product to a variety of audiences in a poster

This flipped-lab approach would (1) provide opportunities for faculty to challenge the students to perform more complex electronic circuit designs and (2) foster more productive and student-centered peer-to-peer interactions. This paper discusses the implementation of the pedagogy with examples of specific projects, faculty experiences and challenges, and student feedback with the new approach.I. Introduction Benjamin Franklin once said, “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

However, there are a few tools available for facilitating peerevaluations and efficiently compiling meaningful information designed to assess one teammember compared to the team as a whole. In this paper, we introduce the Peer Evaluation &Assessment Resource (PEAR), which is a web-based solution that was created to efficientlyassess the teamwork skills of students through peer and self-evaluations. The PEAR applicationallows instructors to form teams from their student rosters and choose a rubric to assess theirteamwork skills, abilities, and contributions.

The impact of suchprograms extends beyond skill development, as they also play a crucial role in fostering self-efficacyand sense of belonging in the aerospace engineering community. This is particularly important giventhat URM students often face additional challenges, including imposter syndrome and a lack ofrepresentation among faculty and industry professionals [1]. Furthermore, the intersectionality ofmarginalization based on ethnicity and social class compounds the challenges faced by URMstudents, making it essential to consider multiple dimensions

Underrepresented Minorities in Aerospace EngineeringAbstractTraditionally, aerospace engineering disciplines are substantially underrepresented by AfricanAmerican, Hispanic, and female students. For example, Black and Hispanic American studentscollectively earn only 10.6%, 8.4%, and 6.4% of the BS, MS, and Ph.D.’s in aerospaceengineering, respectively. They are among the lowest percentages of all major engineeringdisciplines, leading to underutilization of the talent pool in the aerospace industry. 1 To tackle thisconcern, a multi-institution coalition sponsored by NASA is established to engageunderrepresented minorities in coordinated educational and professional development activities,including senior design projects, undergraduate research experiences

A project-based approach, which includes design ideation and thinkingin the context of individual and team projects, is incorporated to promote engagedlearning. Design thinking is a creative process based on the generation of many ideas andthe selection of really good ideas from the many. In order to do this it is necessary tothink generatively and postpone judgements on the ideas that emerge. Encouragingstudents to think outside their usual ways of thinking(2) is an important feature of theprocess since this can often lead to novel solutions. Design thinking involves a series ofdivergent and convergent steps. Proposed Unconventional Thinking in EngineeringDesign
