Some of these simpletools include reaching out the students during their work term by sending them theupcoming course review materials, implementing cooperative learning and project basedlearning through in-class group work and group homework, assignment of mini-projects,etc. It was observed that using some of these tools improved their overall understandingand better performance as measured by their scores on the final examination.

Place more emphasis on professionalism and ethics in a senior capstone class: Two full lectures of the senior design project are devoted to these topics. One of the lectures (in the context of engineering standards) is devoted to the role of professional societies in the development and maintenance of standards. The students are made aware of the need to become involved with the professional societies, and the importance of their service in standard-setting committees. Another lecture is devoted to the topic of ethics in

An optimal team for accomplishing thisresearch would need to include a cultural anthropologist who would be familiar withethnographic interview-based research and socio-cultural theoretical frameworks. We expect thatother kinds of social scientists would provide similar benefits to research projects with othergoals, as has been suggested by others [1, 20].When the STEM practitioners that dominated the initial group integrated social scientists intoRISE, we blithely assumed that the social scientists would be assimilated into the existing STEMresearch culture.

For example, most computer students understand thetheory of mixing red, green and blue pixels on a computer display to create any color, but feware familiar with the technique of optical color mixing used in Pointillism.Throughout the course, students are introduced to design concepts and theory that can be used todevelop visually pleasing websites and other graphic oriented content.

The dominant and most familiar form in which design exists in the classroom is as designexperience. In almost every program, this experience-based design appears in the capstonedesign course. Students typically work on open-ended projects in teams. Often these projects arefor external clients, in order to increase the “reality” of the experience.

Finally the students were assigneda design project where it was their goal to design a heat exchanger based on a specific problem(see Appendix A).
