Research Council (NRC), in its report “Learning toThink Spatially”, refers to spatial thinking as a “universal mode of thinking”, and has recognizedit as an important skill in the 21st century, and further supports its integration in the K-12curriculum. 5GIS has long been recognized as having a critical role in enhancing students’ spatial literacy andas an important tool not only in the study of Geography, but increasingly across multipledisciplines and learning contexts. In her dissertation, Kim references the ongoing debate overhow to define the “S” in GIS (as either Systems, Studies, Science, or Service). 6 Several articlesdiscuss the importance of integrating spatial literacy in post-graduate/doctoral programs, andLuna and Miles report on the

The open-ended rich solution set of this challenge offers to open discussion inmany directions, including the limitations of lumped system modeling.Fluid in a Tube: This experiment illustrates the step response of a second order fluid system as afunction of its damping ratio. Students are asked to observe fluid oscillations in a tube andexplore how the size and duration of oscillations varies with restrictions to air flow at the end ofthe tube. During a follow-on lecture the instructor shows plots of the oscillations observed inthis

As a second step to the project, students were to use theannotation tools on the website to mark up the photos provided by the other student(s) in theirgroup, graphically identifying which members were subjected to the various loading conditionsof tension, compression, bending, or shear, and identifying the directions in which the forces ormoments were applied.

This is beneficial to astudent in the beginning as solving fundamental problems on a foreign topic needs practice.Eventually, if the student pursues further study and enters the profession, the student willencounter ill-defined problems (complex problems). Jonassen (1997) found that “ill-structuredproblems [to] require that learners assemble a large amount of relevant, problem-relatedinformation from memory (Voss & Post, 1989). Learners cannot retrieve the appropriate rulesfrom the chapter(s) being studied. Ill-structured problems engage a broader range of conceptualknowledge about the problem domain” (Jonassen, 1997
engineering student could be created. Overall, the current data suggest thatfurther research is necessary to determine what other individual differences might be moreeffective predictors of success and retention. As we continue this line of research, we willcontinue investigating additional factors from which persistence in engineering can be predicted.What remains uncontested is the conclusion that better insight into students’ ability to succeedand choice to remain would help educators address the lowering retention rates in engineeringprograms.

week of the course, open-ended entrance surveys were used to gauge students’ priorknowledge and current conceptions of engineering. For the entrance survey, students werespecifically asked the open-ended question, “What is an engineer?” The open-ended entrancesurvey also included short-answer questions on preferred name and pronoun(s), intended major,and particular course topics of potential excitement or concern to students. During the fifth(final) week of the course, participants were asked to reflect on their definition of what it meansto be an engineer and how these perceptions changed during STEP. These reflections werewritten, open-ended responses on the course final exam. Table 2 displays the two prompts usedfor data collection.Table 2

principles 3. Leveraging as automation and tools as much as possible 4. Amortization and distribution of workThe last three principles are quite straightforward and may be viewed as common sense,however, the first principle may diverge from current prescribed best practices. It has long beenadvocated that accreditation and assessment should be by-products of good practices andprocesses rather than the main objective for designing the program. However, in small tomedium liberal arts colleges, especially those with limited exposure to engineering programs andengineering accreditation, “getting started” is often the biggest hurdle. There is often no in-houseexpertise and likely, the engineering program(s) is(are) newly-established. In this case
