’.Figure 1. Plot Diagram[12]Significantly, the climax of the story at this point is identified as ‘girl taken away’ (the child wasoriginally supposed to be female). The diagram worked to visually elucidate a problem with thisconfiguration as half of the scene would be spent on story resolution, and the team felt theylacked sufficient time to establish the emotional depth needed to make this fallout resonant. Inthis way the diagram effectively utilized a technical approach to visualizing and understandingstory development. This visualization technique, a strategy borrowed from STEM education,allowed this like-minded group of engineers to converge on common ground.Team 3This team adapted our second studio activity to collectively create their story

Participants also describedimprovements in their judgement, including the speed and accuracy of decision making, throughexperience. Terms such as “gut-feeling” were used to describe how their current judgement anddecision-making compares to their earlier career selves. These results are well-aligned with theliterature on expertise and decision making, which can be used to identify the role of engineeringintuition in future interviews. Our work going forward will be sure to keep in mind alternateexplanations to our existing and future data and seek to understand the definition and context-specificity of engineering

The second is through the assignments and projects in the class.These are chosen to include examples and applications that are representative of the differentmajors.Declaring a MajorAt the end of the fall semester, the first-year engineering students in the program are asked todeclare what major they choose to pursue at the start of the second year. Students can still and dochange their mind throughout the spring semester but are asked to declare in the fall of their first-year for planning purposes.

deterrent to improvingachievement and attainment of postsecondary educational goals [6].Engineering is a natural platform for the integration of STEM content into K-12 classroomswhile sparking creativity amongst young minds. Research around effective learning in K-12classrooms demonstrates that an engineering approach to identifying and solving problems isvaluable across all disciplines. Incorporating mathematical and scientific fundamentals viaengineering design-based methodology that infuses engineering habits of mind has proven to bea highly effective model for STEM education. A National Academy of Engineers report,Engineering in K-12 Education: Understanding the Status and Improving the Prospects,suggests that the STEM disciplines not be

Engineers are in general good administrators andthat is why they end up as Mayors, Governors, CEOs, etc. It is the logic mind and the feeling thatit is quite a duty to solve problems [4].So this program comes to light up as a spark to challenge engineers to seek for the solutions ofsocial problems that any community has to face.

It is a tedious process that many institutions simply avoid.Since there are few awards and few possibilities for success additional institutions arediscouraged and simply don’t apply. With this in mind the faculty of the Engineering & DesignDepartment wasn’t discouraged and actually considered their chances quite good.Once again an investigation was undertaken seeking a match between the Department’s needsand the prospect for support. The search revealed a number of potential partners meeting bothcriteria. Then the specifics of the proposal had to be established. Through planning sessions allof the details were discussed and finalized. Proposals were then drafted, revised, and lastlysubmitted. Throughout
