This very real and recent project is used tohighlight most of the basic principles and themes presented in the body of the course and to serveas an example of the philosophy of innovative design that the students are taught. The studentsare then totally immersed in the actual course problem/challenge: in this case the development ofa solution for the contingency land landing of the Orion space capsule, which results in the safelanding of all crewmembers without injury. Key experts familiar with the technical problem—inthis case landing dynamics, impact attenuation, and biomechanics—present all the relevantinformation that describes the problem statement, requirements, and constraints. Students aretaught the necessary tools

These tasks may span from simple to complex and from individual toteam-based. Every project will have limited resources and a good project manager will be ableto fluidly allocate people, time, money, equipment, space and other resources of a group.

The course was based arounddeveloping the students’ reflexive abilities as engineers[10], in order to facilitate a deepapproach to learning[11]. It was initially set up for external students to obtain formal credit forwork-integrated learning they were experiencing already while in the workplace through astructured reflection process. This was soon changed as primarily internal students enrolledin the course, presenting a unique opportunity to investigate the basis behind work-integratedlearning, and whether or not its ‘essence’ can be applied effectively within a formal setting. Itis important to note that this was not to mimic work-place learning, but rather

The first is to increase the interest in engineering and computerscience by students (especially women and underrepresented minorities) at the communitycolleges, to ease the transition of such students from the community college to the university,and to retain and to graduate engineering community college transfer students through events onall six campuses. The second goal is to build a model collaboration between a university and acommunity college system for engineering students.This paper will describe the activities that have

. Introduction1.1. MotivationBasic linear circuit analysis is frequently a fundamental engineering core course requirement forelectrical engineering nonmajors, as well as for electrical engineering majors, and is therefore avery widely taught subject. For electrical engineering majors, the skills learned in this course areessential for their success in subsequent courses. A bad or unsuccessful learning experience maycause students to change their major or drop out of engineering altogether. Traditional lecture-based instruction uses a “one size fits all” approach that fails to adapt to the widely varyinglearning styles and backgrounds of the students. The goal of this project is to develop computer-aided instruction tools to increase the student success

experiences offered to students are team based; studentsare never asked to carry out a design-build project from beginning to end on their own. This canlead to students specializing in a particular design role and avoiding others.To address these issues, a new engineering course was introduced at the University of Colorado,Boulder, Aesthetics of Design (AesDes). AesDes is a design course where students are asked touse their engineering skills to create aesthetics-based designs. The creators of this course hope thatthese projects will promote an affective gain towards engineering by providing students with atransformative learning experience [2], [3] and an opportunity to view themselves as engineers.More information on the AesDes course and examples

ALPs are defined bymethods of learning in which the student is experientially involved in the learning process andinclude practices such as problem-based, discovery-based, inquiry-based, and project-basedlearning. In addition to supporting EM, empirical evidence reinforces the value of implementingactive-learning pedagogies (ALPs) in STEM classrooms – from the positive impacts on studentlearning and performance to the reduction of achievement gaps in underrepresented groups [20].ALPs have been linked to improved self-efficacy and the

By examining thisapproach's impact, we aim to discover how it affected students’ opinions of teamwork. The centralquestion driving this research is, "How can teamwork become a more enjoyable and productiveexperience for students?" Teamwork is the cornerstone of success in engineering [1, 2], a field where complexproblems demand collaborative solutions. However, the path to effective teamwork can bechallenging.
