who demonstrated a need.We had a small number of facilitators, all trained in engineering, and two of us were experiencededucators. We think the synchronous sessions were successful because the facilitators metweekly and shared ideas and experiences. We feel the facilitators could be better prepared if wegenerated specific ideas for the goals and agendas of each synchronous team meeting. We alsofound that some groups wanted to talk about non-technical issues related to social and politicalcurrent events (especially after the explosion incident in Lebanon). These off-topic discussionswere encouraged if not planned. We feel that facilitators in the future could be better prepared ifwe gave them some tools or practice in moderating discussions

restructured into a blended style by moving theprogramming content from the traditional course into modules on the course learningmanagement software site (Brightspace). This content included: pseudocoding for planning asolution in non-coding language, how to perform operations on vector and matrix variables,common loops (primarily ‘for’ loops), and basic data visualization like plotting, specifying linetype, and generating subplots. These programming modules could be completed in parallel withthe biomechanics-focused lecture. The four programming topics (pseudocode, vector/matrixoperations, loops, and data visualization) covered in the modules were the same as those coveredin the lecture. The traditional (top row) and blended (bottom row) course

Additional content as part ofthis human-centered design course delved into more refined approaches to prototyping.The context of this senior elective course is routed in design thinking – for students to extendtheir mechanical engineering design process from one of product development to one also basedin appreciating the needs of users and solving problems with people at the center of it. Theactivity for this study was from one class session that was planned to focus on paper prototypingas an extension of a module on the approaches of rapid prototyping. As such, the time horizonaspect of the design task was ancillary to the specific task of practicing the creation of artifactswith

on closing the gap should be required as early as possible in astudent’s college career to encourage a sociotechnical mindset from the start which can subsistthrough the rest of their engineering coursework.While the effort to integrate social aspects into the classroom was well planned and intended,there could have been issues in the way those aspects were addressed by the professors of thecourse. In future studies, we’d encourage investigators to analyze the impact of educators onengineering identity. Professors may be acting as gatekeepers of engineering discourse, due topower dynamics in the classroom. For example, in the energy class, when the professor talkedabout an artifact that was located outside the building to harness solar

In comparison to textbookhomework problems, students were quite mixed in their preferences for OEMPs. However, whenasked about the comparison of the OEMP group project to the exam that was initially planned inMechanics I, the responses skewed more positive.

notion is supported by a study conducted by Hall, et al., in 2015 usingthe FFM to correlate personality traits to retention of students in first-year engineering [9]. Of thefive dimensions in the model, only Conscientiousness resulted in being a statistically significantpredictor for student retention. This difference is particularly powerful for predicting whether aFYE student will persist into engineering or leave engineering in poor standing. The studysuggests that perhaps students who leave in poor standing had more difficulty planning andorganizing, conducting higher-order thinking, practicing self-discipline, and generatingmotivation to achieve. All of these elements are associated with high levels ofConscientiousness. Many of these

Packaging a lesson plan for delivering and assessing ABET outcomeswould be a potential motivating factor for faculty to adopt the module.DiscussionThis paper has presented exercises that have been developed to target students’ socialconsciousness in engineering design. Preliminary assessment of the exercises suggests that itbenefits students in several ways. According to the survey results (as summarized in Figure 4),many students were unaware of the role that a person’s identity can play in the design process orof the effect that such designs can have on the end user. This aligns with previous research thathas highlighted longstanding gaps in mainstream curriculum and thus further supports

In addition to my hands-on experience, other areas that interest me in my future research are improved techniques and sustainable construction methods. These are a couple of projects I plan to continue and grow with the Kennesaw State University’s support. One of the studies that I have started is the development of performance certification techniques for sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy & atmosphere, materials & resources, indoor environmental quality, innovation, and design. I have also analyzed the cost and schedule for a specific sustainable construction project. Through my

Tinkering activitiesand orientations are positioned in contrast to more structured activities with instructor-imposedgoals that have characterized engineering education. Features of tinkering include its self-directednature, the role of rapid iteration, minimal planning, a goal-orientation and playful orientation.These descriptions are summarized briefly in Table 1. characteristic description “Successful tinkering activities emphasize the processes of pursuing ideas, becoming frustrated, and achieving breakthroughs through one’s own inge

Thefirst-year female WISE students can additionally choose to be in the WISE mentoring program.However, to have any involvement in WISE, the students must be a female WISE major. The WISE mentoring program is operated by a graduate engineering student.
