“…Examples in the field of engineering can be found in the literature. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Student design competitions seem to 'play' on a different level, at least in engineering education. They are renowned international, long-term events rather than a classroom game, and they offer all the elements that are the key to successful experiential learning: they are based on open-ended, multidisciplinary projects; feedback for reflection is provided through subjective experience, objective results, advice and judgement from industry experts; motivation, engagement and passion are triggered by the competitive framework.…”

Student competitions can play an important role in education: they promote interest and engagement of the students, as well as of the teachers. In the case of engineering, one of the most challenging contests in Europe is the Motostudent event, joined by the University of Brescia (UniBS) in 2016 for the first time. It is a typical implementation of Kolb's theory of experiential learning, where engineering theory and application meet in an intensive, 'hands-on' team work experience, resulting in a very effective learning process that involves the so-called soft skills as well. The paper aims at briefly reviewing the scope of competitions like the Formula SAE and sharing the authors' experience in a similar event, the Motostudent contest.

“…De fato, a colaboração entre as diversas partes envolvidasembora vital para o processopode ser um desafio, e deve ser apoiada pelo estabelecimento de uma boa comunicação entre todos os envolvidos PUC-Rio -Certificação Digital Nº 1512175/CA (Morris & Segal, 2012;Taweel et al, 2009). Isto pode ser particularmente importante quando participantes possuem diferentes formações profissionais, encontram-se em diferentes partes do globo (Marinovici et al, 2014), trabalham em projetos de longa duração e mantêm visões particulares acerca do projeto (Spencer, 2015). Neste último caso, práticas e filosofias de trabalho devem ser adotadas para que sentimentos individuais de autoria não comprometam a colaboração (Turk, 2014).…”

“…Por outro lado, tanto a comunidade científica quanto a comunidade de engenharia de software parecem concordar que a qualidade do software científico pode aumentar através da adoção de práticas de engenharia de software (Mohammad, 2010;Heaton & Carver, 2015), incluindo a especificação de requisitos, automação de testes e documentação (Kosteka & Mishev, 2013). Da mesma forma, seria aconselhável que engenheiros de software adquirissem conhecimento sobre a área científica a que se destina o PUC-Rio -Certificação Digital Nº 1512175/CA software (Marinovici et al, 2014) e sobre como cientistas trabalham e reportam seu progresso (Killcoyne & Boyle, 2009).…”

“…Frequentemente, requisitos não são formalmente documentados ao longo do processo de desenvolvimentoembora, em alguns casos, seja exigida sua documentação em formas diversas, como UML (Daniluk, 2012), protótipos de baixa e alta fidelidade (Aragon et al, 2008) ou storyboards interativos . Idealmente, requisitos devem ser consolidados como descrições técnicas e não ambíguas de funcionalidades específicas (Marinovici et al, 2014). Em alguns casos, o uso de personas pode ser produtivo na definição de requisitos (Scheidewind et al, 2012).…”

My name is Nicholas Parisi, and I studied electrical and computer engineering at Rowan University. I am very interested in wearable devices, sensors, app development, and writing code to integrate software and hardware. In terms of ASEE, I had the unique experience of helping develop the platform that would be presented to freshmen engineers, in order to see how a complete drastic change in homework would affect student's motivation and desire to complete the work.Dr. Cheryl A. Bodnar, Rowan University Cheryl A. Bodnar, Ph.D., CTDP is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Rowan University. Dr. Bodnar's research interests relate to the incorporation of active learning techniques in undergraduate classes as well as integration of innovation and entrepreneurship into the engineering curriculum. In particular, she is interested in the impact that these tools can have on student perception of the classroom environment, motivation and learning outcomes. Leveling Up by Gamifying Freshman Engineering Clinic AbstractThis Work-In-Progress paper describes the development of a gamification platform for a multidisciplinary freshman design course at Rowan University. This course is designed to teach engineering students about multidisciplinary design, with special focus on developing skills associated with teamwork, software application and ethics. An important part of learning is receiving feedback as part of the learning cycle and studies have shown that increased feedback can be helpful in supporting student reflection and developing the intrinsic motivation necessary for mastering a task. One method of encouraging students to master material is by providing students with immediate feedback through gamification platforms. The gamification platform being employed in this implementation uses interactive learning techniques to provide students with clear cut goals as well as immediate feedback as an indicator of the student's performance.Gamification transforms the traditional homework layout into an entirely new entity. Students can work to earn badges by completing assignments that interest them within the platform. Students also have the power to learn at their own pace and mechanics such as experience points, badges, leaderboards, and achievements can be used as motivating factors to encourage student completion of activities. In addition, the system acts as a scaffold for the students starting with activities that are easier and become progressively more challenging as their knowledge increases while allowing them to repeat tasks as necessary to encourage mastery of course material.The effectiveness of this platform will be assessed by a combination of quantitative and qualitative measures. Student activity completion, accrual of badges and achievements, and the process through which students select the activities to pursue will all be monitored. Students will also complete the MUSIC model of academic motivation to measure their engagement with class activities as a result of the addition o...
