The teaching strategies fortechnological literacy listed in Table VI similarly argue for a “multiplicity or diversity ofrepresentations” for teaching technological literacy. Thus, design faculty areprofessionally aligned with such teaching strategies, and as such, are a natural manpowerpool from which to draw future instructors for this national need.Laboratories for Technological Literacy Instruction Laboratories for technological literacy explorations may contain many devices,most of which are suitable

Multidisciplinary Design Experiences into the Capstone ExperienceAbstractAs educators we must ask ourselves whether we are truly meeting the needs of today’syoung people to become engineers. Are we showing students what it means to be anengineer and how engineers help people and contribute to society? Are our youngengineers prepared to successfully integrate knowledge from diverse areas of thesciences, mathematics, arts and humanities, and social sciences, to solve the complexmultidisciplinary problems that the world is facing? The mission of Rensselaer’s O.T.Swanson Multidisciplinary Design Laboratory (MDL) is to provide clinical real-worldexperiences for students that build confidence and teaches them to integrate disciplinespecific

Forinstance, product dissection has been successfully used to help students identify relationshipsbetween engineering fundamentals (e.g., torque and power) and hardware design (e.g., a drill)7.It has also been used to help teach competitive assessment and benchmarking8, 9.

The teaching of design has been integrated to the curriculum by devoting acertain fraction of the coursework or labs to open-ended design problems. Likewise, formalintroduction to the engineering design method is made at the sophomore level in two courses:Introduction to Mechanical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering Tools. These coursesintroduce the design cycle, and expose students to design concepts by using problems withinreach at the sophomore level (e.g., statics, simple material selections, etc.). The tools courseintroduces the students to the machine shop and to the software packages they need to master inorder to

Both alumni who hadthese experiences and alumni who did not have these experiences were surveyed.This paper provides a brief introduction to the SAE design competitions along with the results ofthe alumni survey.IntroductionStarting in the early 1960s, engineering education shifted away from engineering practice andmore towards engineering science. Declining enrollments and shifting priorities causeduniversities to reduce program length. In order to accomplish this, many programs reducedapplication oriented courses and laboratories.1 This has resulted in a gap between whatuniversities are teaching, and what

The projects developed with and delivered to Imagination Station have covered a very wide range ofdisciplines, including electromagnetism, aerodynamics, and hydrology. For example, an interactive wind tunnelwas designed and created by a team to provide an opportunity for children in elementary school to learn aboutaerodynamics. Another project, called the Mag Racer, teaches children about electromagnetism. It consists of amagnetic car inside a tube-shaped track running through a series of electromagnets. Children try differentstrategies for activating the electromagnets to figure out how to make the car race down the length of the track.Other interactive displays
