Foss, Mary
- Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of utilizing the principles of Project-based learning (PJBL) in nontraditional settings in engineering education. There is ample literature related to the usage of PJBL techniques in engineering education but there are also challenges with incorporating PJBL within the curriculum. It is the aim of this dissertation to build upon this understanding of the advantages and limitations of PJBL in engineering education and identify areas within the existing body of knowledge in which more research is needed. This dissertation divides this topic into 4 sub-topics. The first sub-topic explores how PJBL can be utilized in non-classroom settings and is detailed in Chapters 2-4. In Chapter 2, the application of PJBL in engineering outreach is explored. It is found that through PJBL learning challenges, high-school age girls can be exposed to engineering disciplines in a positive and supportive environment where girls and women are promoted. This chapter details the format of the event 'Parent Daughter Engineering Night' as well as lessons learned and practical methods to create an event based upon PJBL methodology that reduces stereotype threat and increases belonging. Chapter 3 describes operation and management of an on-campus center designed with PJBL methodology. This chapter describes the benefits to the University and the community through detailed examples of projects as well as provides lessons learned in project selection and student intern management. Chapter 4 identifies 10 maxims of promoting creativity in engineering education that have been identified by Kazerounian and Foley. This chapter addresses each of these maxims by providing an example in the ways in which PJBL can be used as an explicit means of developing creativity in engineering students. The next subtopic is how PJBL can be utilized in non-traditional classroom settings. Chapter 5 describes a PJBL challenge that can be used in a virtual learning environment that functions to bridge course content in one project by including elements of manufacturing processes, material science, and applied statistics. This chapter presents the PJBL challenge as a case-study and highlights key learning outcomes that can be achieved. The next subtopic is intended to examine how PJBL is supported by theories of learning. Chapter 6 describes existing theories of learning and provides 6 different mathematical models of learning that are then evaluated using tools of applied mathematics. In this chapter, strengths and weaknesses of each model are considered as well as the future need to evaluate a learning model with empirical data. Lastly, the final sub-topic highlights the ability of PJBL to function as a tool to promote social change. Chapter 7 describes the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the responsibility of educators and future engineers to address these goals. In this chapter, examples are provided of explicit ways in which PJBL can serve the dual purpose of promoting engineering education through the completion of projects that are intended to support or promote the SDGs.

Pathologies of the central nervous system impact a significant portion of our population, and the delivery of therapeutics for effective treatment is challenging. The insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF1R) has emerged as a target for receptor-mediated transcytosis, a process by which antibodies are shuttled across the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Here, we describe the biophysical characterization of VHH-IR4, a BBB-crossing single-domain antibody (sdAb). Binding was confirmed by isothermal titration calorimetry and an epitope was highlighted by surface plasmon resonance that does not overlap with the IGF-1 binding site or other known BBB-crossing sdAbs. The epitope was mapped with a combination of linear peptide scanning and hydrogen–deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS). IGF1R is large and heavily disulphide bonded, and comprehensive HDX analysis was achieved only through the use of online electrochemical reduction coupled with a multiprotease approach, which identified an epitope for VHH-IR4 within the cysteine-rich region (CRR) of IGF1R spanning residues W244-G265. This is the first report of an sdAb binding the CRR. We show that VHH-IR4 inhibits ligand induced auto-phosphorylation of IGF1R and that this effect is mediated by downstream conformational effects. Our results will guide the selection of antibodies with improved trafficking and optimized IGF1R binding characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper details the case-study of incorporating project-based learning through a virtual materials characterization project. This project exposes students to characterization technology. manufacturing processes, data analysis and the application statistical tools. Moreover, by utilizing the project-based learning methodology, students develop skills in teamwork, oral and written communication, and problem solving that do not come from the back-of-the-book. In the present case study, material properties of a pair of failed multipurpose crafting shears labeled as 'stainless' are characterized. The student teams are challenged with identifying the manufacturing process that was used based on the data acquired from metal spectrometer testing, Rockwell C hardness testing, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging of the failure surface of the sample. Based upon the analysis ofthis data, students are tasked with identifying the type of metal alloy for the crafting shears. the manufacturing process used, and possible root cause of failure. This case study provides a pedagogical framework to bridge concepts of materials science with manufacturing methodology and statistical analysis tools as well as creative thinking and problem-solving skills. By investigating and determining the root cause of failure the students have gained a better understanding of the relationship between manufacturing process, material properties, and product quality. The outcomes could be used directly in an existing course, since all the data have been provided or it could also be adapted for different contexts by replacing the existing data with a new data set.

Parent Daughter Engineering Night is an outreach event targeting 7th-12th grade girls hosted by Weber State University. This event joins a parent with his or her daughter for an evening of engineering challenges designed with problem-based learning (PBL) methodology. This paper describes the need to address some of the psychological factors of under-represented minorities (URM) within engineering. By creating an environment where belonging is promoted and stereotyping is decreased the Parent Daughter Engineering night achieves an atmosphere that is inclusive of women and girls. This event is designed to demonstrate the role and place of women in the engineering disciplines through guest speakers and facilitators. This paper describes the basic structure of the event and schedule and details the engineering challenges that have been used for the past five years of hosting the event. This paper describes key lessons learned in the organization and facilitation of the event as well as opportunities for virtual events to be held to target communities that are not located near institutions of higher learning. Finally, this paper concludes that the Parent Daughter Engineering night event is a positive way to promote the inclusion of girls into engineering fields and connect with the K12 community.
