Research has shown that this technique prepares studentsfor future learning allowing them to learn more from subsequent lectures or reading. 4,17,18However, during the first implementation of this new curriculum, students were prompted togenerate ideas about the problem solution using from the following two questions: What do youknow that will help you solve this problem? What do you need to know to solve this problem?Surprising to us, students were giving answers in paragraph form rather than using morecommon problem solving approaches. This prompted the biomedical engineering domain experton the team to reflect on his own problem solving method for transport problems. From thisexplicit reflection, the domain expert made his own

All of the faculty/staff interviews were audio recorded, and fourwere transcribed and coded for key insights.iThese insights were then used to develop a pair of surveys to gather feedback from students whohad been involved in the Design Certificate Program and DFA: one survey for alumni and onefor current undergraduates. The surveys were essentially identical in the sections that collecteddemographic information, the students’ experiences with design, and what benefits they felt theyhad received from design at Northwestern, but the alumni survey also included a section thatasked alumni to reflect on the skills they gained from being involved with these design programsand how their design experiences affected their

Upongraduation, students will be expected to design solutions for handicapped or elderly individualswho are from a completely different background 3,29.Within the context of engineering design, the term “empathetic design” has emerged as animmersive design experience meant to help designers understand the needs of the end-user.Empathetic design is defined by Battarbee 30 as the ability of an engineer to immerse themselvesin the lives, environments, attitudes, experiences, and dreams of end users. Further, thisimmersive experience should be reflected in the design requirements 31. This experience is oftenrecommended in various user-centered design

There is no room for critical thinking and reflectiveaction. 40 Most important, lifelong learning is foremost about a love of and passion for learningitself, rather than focusing exclusively on the discrete knowledge that is acquired. As Deweywrote “The most important attitude that can be formed is that of desire to go on learning. Ifimpetus in this direction is weakened instead of being intensified, something much more thanmere lack of preparation takes place” (48). 41 With these reductionist misconceptions aboutknowledge and learning, it is clear that a concept like lifelong learning didn’t stand a chance.Many of these omissions are in fact related—one needs

Earlier work identified the fallacy of the open recruiting narrative.20 Formalrecruitment procedures are by-passed in favor of network friendships, excluding those who donot have high levels of cultural and social capital. Even though teams recruited at college ofengineering-wide events, they continued to be populated primarily by white male ME studentswith pre-existing friendships and other connections. Due to the effects of homophily andtransitivity (explained earlier), both team membership and leadership were limited to a cadre ofstudents with high social capital.19, 20 The survey results presented here reflect the samehomogenizing influences.Persistence barriers

The data collected provides information in five constructs which are:interest/enjoyment, perceived competence, pressure/tension, perceived choice, andvalue/usefulness. These constructs provide a perception about students’ interests, belief, andfeelings about the international project that reflect their level of motivation and confidence tocarry on the tasks. The data is evaluated and considered in the development of the learningmodule to be incorporated before the project in the same course in the

Allowing students to suggest ways toimprove their designs provided opportunities for further reflection in subsequent designprocesses.

Second, transcripts were sent to participants to verify the accuracy ofcontent and meaning; no participants responded with changes to their transcriptions.

There is a common motivation and goal, which is achievingexcellence in engineering education within the region and worldwide. Although each institutiondescribes its guideline principles in a different way, they all respond to the logic model suggestedby CORFO.
