Figure 9. Lower End Master Bill of MaterialManufacturing Processes. The students investigated options of casting and CNC-machiningbillet for the lower-end design prototype. Due to budget and time constraints, the team decidedto manufacture the lower-unit from billet aluminum. Using the capabilities of the EngineeringTechnology Department’s manufacturing laboratories; the students decided that they werecapable of manufacturing all of the prototype parts in-house. Rather than go into detail of everystep in manufacturing every part, the following touches on some key points of interest. Thestudent team created manufacturing routings for every part. These routing helped the studentsplan steps taken to create the part and provide an overall

All threecourses are team-taught by a pair of faculty members and utilize a four meeting per week format,in which there are three 50-minute periods (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) used primarily forlectures. The fourth period is a 165-minute “flex” period that meets on Thursdays, and can beused for lectures, laboratory exercises, exams, or for overarching problem solution periods.Aside from the integration of concepts described previously and the use of overarching problemsas described herein, Mechanics I and II are taught in a fairly traditional manner

Learning throughEngineering Design and Practice presented students with a series of projects over a yearlonginformal experience. In our case, learners were presented with engineering design problemswhere solutions are achieved via an actual project. Participants had access to a wide range ofresources that included human and content rich media, Arizona State University art museum andengineering laboratories, the Phoenix Zoo, the Arizona Science Center, a number of differenttypes of hardware and software technologies.

Simulation software and computer algebra systems allow students toexperiment with phenomena which are too complex to calculate or too expensive to bereproduced in a laboratory, or are simply not accessible to the senses. A computer algebra systemis essentially the ability to manipulate concepts, using computer expressions, which aresymbolic, algebraic and not limited to numerical evaluation. A computer algebra systems canperform many of the mathematical techniques which are part and parcel of a traditional physicscourse.

, within engineering we know little about how studentsapproach open-book testing, particularly with regard to how they spend their time on differenttasks and how this division of time may affect performance.The study in this paper examined the testing behavior of 8 senior materials science andengineering students at a large public university in the southeastern US. Students completed fourengineering problems during individual laboratory sessions while engaged in a think-aloudprocedure (i.e., verbally explaining their thought processes as they worked through theproblems). The problems were designed to vary in terms of their closed or open-endedness andthe number of decision points involved in their solution. Students’ think-aloud protocols
