fuelfrom seeds of the Jatropha shrub, which grows in West Africa. The impact of this approach onstudent satisfaction and success is discussed.IntroductionA central focus of engineering education is the design process. Our goal as engineering educatorsis to ensure that graduating engineers have the ability to “design effective solutions that meetsocietal needs” 1. Traditionally, engineering education is built on a foundation of sciences andmathematics courses, with students taking engineering courses in their upper years, with fewstudents experiencing design outside of a focused course in their discipline. In the 1990’s, inresponse to accreditation criteria, most engineering schools added a “capstone” design project inthe final year. These projects

Exam performances of the two sections were compared against eachother to assess the degree to which an increase in active learning promotes understandingand retention. Entrepreneurial tendencies were noted for individual students as theyworked on group projects near the end of the semester. Before the projects were handedout, both sections were exposed to lectures on state-of-the-art heat transfer technologicalsolutions to some current problem(s). During these lectures, entrepreneurialcharacteristics (i.e. creativity and “big-picture thinking” etc..) and skills (i.e. problemidentification, market analysis and patent searching etc..) that were exhibited during

We assessed the correlations between ratings on each LSI dimension andagreement with the six statements. We found most of the correlations were small. The highestcorrelation was between SEN/INT dimension and the first statement about programming skills.The more strongly a student scores as a “sensor”, the more s/he believes that her/hisprogramming aptitude cannot be changed.We did not uncover any clear evidence that students with different learning styles
