ENGR100 Final Project
Name:
Note: this assignment is worth 30% of your final grade. Read the instructions carefully and make sure
to ask any questions you have to ensure a good grade on this assignment. You are encouraged to take any reflections
you wish to the Writing Center.
Directions: Include all requested content in order, as shown
in the template. You must use this
template. Three components will be graded – Reflection 13, one item you select,
and one random reflection or other submission.
The remaining items will be graded by completion, so make sure they are
present, meaningful, and of the correct length.
The heading of the reflection of your choice to be graded should be
highlighted yellow, as shown below:
Reflection 99 – An Example of How to Highlight
If you do not indicate which one should be graded this way,
two random items will be selected for grading instead of one. Any blank
reflections will be selected by default in all circumstances.
In a few cases, you should submit a separate file instead of
pasting the information into this document:
Project Contents
Reflection 1 – Images of Engineering – include all prompts
and responses below this line
What aspects of engineering discussed today surprised you or
expanded your thinking? Why? How did
your thinking about engineering as a discipline change?
Reflection 2 – Professional Societies & Continuous
Learning – include all prompts and responses below this line
Explain in your own words the need for lifelong learning in
engineering with examples of how change in technology and job role (novice,
expert, manager, etc.) can affect an engineer. Relate lifelong learning to one
or more of your own areas of interest in engineering – what kind of learning
might be required for you, after graduating, to pursue relevant knowledge and
skills? What methods might be most appropriate for gaining that knowledge and
skills?
If you’re unsure about areas of interest in engineering,
relate lifelong learning to a change or difference you would like to make in
the world and how engineering might contribute to this goal.
Reflection 3 – Engineering & the Liberal Arts – include
all prompts and responses below this line
How do you think about classes offered in different academic
disciplines? What facts or ideas from the presentation or discussion influenced
your thinking? How have your views about the meaningfulness and value of
non-engineering classes changed or been refined?
Reflection 4 – Engineering & Academic Ethics – include
all prompts and responses below this line
Engineering requires ethical conduct across numerous areas
of professional life. Which areas of
required ethical engineering conduct most surprised you or expanded your
thinking about engineering? How was your understanding of the intersection of
engineering and ethics changed?
Reference specific areas of the NSPE Code of Ethics for Engineers.
Reflection 5 – Diversity & Teaming in Engineering –
include all prompts and responses below this line
There are several reasons for working to actively include
people with different backgrounds and life experiences on engineering
teams. Do some reasons make more sense
to you or seem more important than others? Why? Which reason(s) discussed in
class surprised you the most or most changed your thinking? Reference specific parts of the presentation.
Then, considering the importance of diverse and inclusive engineering teams,
what are some steps you can take in engineering school to ensure that you are
prepared to create and participate fully on such teams? Can you think of different experiences that
might help you develop your teaming skills?
What developmental activities or experiences would you like to have in
engineering school or early in your career along these lines? What effects do you believe the selected
activities might have on you? How could
ensure that that such activities would lead to as much learning as possible?
Reflection 7 – Discovering Learning Styles
Individuals learn differently and find it easier or more
difficult to process and learn information depending on how they interact with
the material. For you, which dimensions of the learning style are most extreme?
Can you think of examples that illustrate the effects of that learning style
difference in your past (either a time you learned something easily or had a
hard time because of the way the material was presented?). Do you agree with
your scores on the Index? If you have exclusively scores very near the middle
of the scale, discuss the implications of this and also relate it to specific
examples in your past. Make sure that the reflection is primarily about you,
not a summary of the presented material.
Reflection 11 – Living Campbell Engineering Values – include
all prompts and responses below this line
This week, we discussed the values and how things are going
so far in putting them into practice in the new School. Of the eight Core Values, which is most
important to you personally? Explain why
and relate the Value to your own values, past experiences, or other relevant
thoughts. Why does this value resonate
with you personally? How could your own
values and experiences contribute to the expression and growth of this value in
the Campbell University School of Engineering? You may wish to relate the value
under discussion to some of the other values – how you see them relating – as
well.
Reflection 12 – Engineering Beauty – include all prompts and
responses below this line
This week, several different ways that art and beauty can
connect to the work of engineers were discussed and many examples were
shown. Did your understanding of art and
beauty as a part of human work and life, including the work of engineering,
change or increase? What was new and
surprised you? What was your earlier
thinking about engineering and how was your earlier thinking extended? Might you approach engineering work a bit
differently in the future? How?
Reflection 13 – ENGR100 Overall Reflection – include all
prompts and responses below this line
The 2 prompts below
ENGR100 Reflection 13
Prompts (the 2 below are Reflection 13)
All students should complete both prompts using this
template (the template is answer the questions in the prompt in the order the
question is asked).
Individual Assignment
Prompt: Over the term, we have discussed and you have
reflected on many topics related to the profession of engineering, including
different ideas about what it means to be an engineer, what engineers can do in
their careers, engineering professional societies, lifelong learning,
engineering ethics, diversity, and beauty in engineering. We covered these
topics because many incoming engineering students have incomplete views of what
it means to be an engineer – in capabilities, in career, and in values. Briefly
summarize key things you learned about being an engineer in this course and how
you now think about engineering differently than when you entered this seminar.
What was most meaningful about this seminar to you, and why? Do you feel
differently approaching an engineering career than when you started, and why?
Response (375-425 words):
Prompt: Over the term, we have discussed and you have
reflected on topics related your development as a student prepared to face the
rigors and challenges of engineering school, including connections between
engineering and the liberal arts, learning styles, time management, academic
career planning, academic and professional communications, and the values of
the School of Engineering. We covered these topics because engineering school
universally requires growth in academic skills and performance for students to
be successful. Briefly summarize the development of your academic skills across
the semester and the role played by the content and lessons from this seminar
course. What were some notable challenges you faced in the semester, and to
what extent did the materials from this seminar help you address those
challenges? What will you work to do better next semester compared to this one?
What would be some advice for yourself in the next semester or for students
starting engineering next fall, based upon your experiences so far?
