favors empathizing over systemizing. Studies show a consistent pattern with the“S>E profile for physical science students as a group, and a E>S profile for humanities studentsas a group, regardless of sex.”113. Scenario-Based Curriculum for Solid MechanicsThe scenario-based learning has long been used as a pedagogical technique in a variety oflearning domains, primarily in business education where it is viewed as a technique to teachcomplex decision-making skills.12 In engineering education, the scenario approach is most oftenused in the teaching of engineering ethics that focus on the ethical challenges of professionalengineers and use “social world” stories like the Challenger disaster or Hurricane Katrina.13 TheNSF has funded previous

establishes the processes, and post-processes, required todevelop the final desired properties. Paying particular attention to options of materials/processesearly in the design phase can greatly reduce cost and delay in product introduction.The prediction of product volume, a strategic decision, can also have a significant effect onultimate material/manufacturing costs. Some processes have high initial tooling cost with lowunit production cost; other have low tooling cost, but higher unit production cost. Knowledge ofboth materials and manufacturing methods, combined with accurate estimates of productvolumes, determine the profitability of the end product.There is also the issue of ethics. Selection decisions for materials and processes have a

appreciation for international engineering cultures; gain knowledge of, and sensitivity to, cultural norms; understand the differences in problem definitions and problem solving strategies that exist between cultures; and gain an appreciation for ethical responsibilities.Before proceeding with an overview of assessment and a frank evaluation of the efficacy of thePMFC, it is important to note that few of the core and experimental components detailed aboveare truly original in form. Workbooks, blogs, instructional videos, case studies and concept-based evaluation tools, for example, all have been utilized, with varying degrees of success, ineducational contexts7-9,13-28. As such, the true novelty of the PMFC largely stems from
