Secondly,colleges considering changes to admissions and/or transfer processes into and within the collegecould use the visualizations to get an accurate “as-is” view of student paths. This could be helpful indeveloping new processes as well as benchmarking for evaluating the performance of any changes.Specific research questions (RQs) of this project were: RQ1: Are there differences in entrance and/or exit patterns of undergraduate engineering programs that can be visualized with Sankey diagrams? RQ2: Do patterns in student flows suggest where in a particular program, or on which students, resources aimed at improving retention

One of the milestone courses, Biothermodynamics, which encompassesformulas, equations, and physical applications of biology systems, is traditionally taughtpassively through lecturing and note-taking. In the past two decades, active learning methodshave been studied and promoted vastly in engineering education, including adding group workand peer interaction into the teaching and learning of such courses to increase studentengagement [1-4]. This work-in-progress study further explores the ability to create a“neighborhood” in a sophomore-level Biothermodynamics classroom.

One undergraduate student engaged with one field site (a utility company, “UtilityCo”)through job shadowing and informal interviewing, while two graduate students collected data asparticipant observers at a second site (a small software start-up, “SoftCo”).

In this senior capstone project, we developeda monitoring alert system that notifies the farmer in the event of a watering system failure. Werecognized from the outset of the project the importance and high value of having to actively andprofessionally interact with our client. We have also realized the significant opportunity and riskwe were presented with when the client offered us his farm as a platform to exercise our ideas andtest our system prototypes.To meet our client’s requirements, two senior students, under the guidance of their senior cap-stone project advisor, designed a system that

For engineering design instructors, deeply capturing students' conceptions of theirdesign problem could prove to be a useful reflection tool for design projects, particularlycapstone design. While student generated problem statements and enumeration of criteria andconstraints begin to reveal students' design problem conceptions, these formats may not allowthe full details of students' understanding of the problem to emerge.
