Immediately after presenting the example we will have the discussion activity
Louise and Jon We will share the sand filtration problem for 102
Jon and Louise will set up the activity.
11-11:30
25-30 min
Discussion Activity:
  • What authentic computationally-based engineering  problems/issues/challenges do you resolve on regular basis?
  • What challenges (if any) do you encounter in resolving these problems/issues/challenges?
  • Who are the engineering practitioners that deal directly with these problems/issues/challenges we should speak with to learn more about them?
  • How do we continue industry engagement to keep the problems current and interesting? Each group use last 5 minutes to report out
Jon will kick off the activity
Cindee  and Claudia help keep the discussion flowing at each table and scribe responses to questions on flip charts.

Daina & Neeraj will float between the two tables
  • We will break in two groups of four AB members.
  • All the questions will be asked to all the AB members regardless of discipline. Remove discipline-specific remarks. We can do targeted follow-up with CHE and CE after the meeting.
     
  • Issues resolved:
  • New questions to add in -- How do we get people to move from novice to practitioners? What are the challenges that new employers/interns have in that transition process? (How are we preparing our workforce. -- these two questions and some of those above help answer how we are preparing the workforce-CD). Are we adding these questions? Where? Do not ask these questions at this point (10-22).
  • Think about the disciplinary composition of the groups. - try to balance the tables.
  • The 25-30 min include summary of the discussion at the end -- that is, each group will use last 5 minutes to summarize the themes of their discussion
11:30-11:40
10 min
Overview of the Authentic Problems Generation Process
 
Probing question: (Cindee will ask 1st bullet then ask to use the notecards on table to add any other thoughts and also include responses to the 2nd bulleted question on notecards) 
  • What adjustments would you make to this process? Are there other ways we could engage employers in this process?
  • Knowing networks shift over time, what other  engineering-based employers would you recommend that we speak with?
Cindee
We will not have a discussion activity as such but a probing/check-in question. We will direct them to the note-cards on the table to provide fuller answers to these questions to manage time.
