The second individual concept(Concept 1b) used Change surface properties to integrate soft material into the device as a cover.Neither of these individually generated concepts was used in the development of the alphaprototype (Concept 2) or the beta prototype (Concept 3). The beta+ prototype (Concept 4)synthesized the wooden scooter shape of the beta prototype with Concepts 1a and 1b. The first ofthese synthesized concepts (Concept 1a) – an abstraction of Animate – was synthesized into thebeta+ prototype by transforming the original idea of creating a device in the shape of somethingapproachable and recognizable, and instead created a device with images of somethingapproachable and recognizable – in this case, Mickey Mouse.

Incorporating sustainability in the civil engineering curriculum is difficult due to an already fullprogram. Bielefeldt (2011) discusses an alternative approach for incorporating sustainability early on inthe curriculum and reports that the awareness of sustainability in subsequent assignments was presenteven when students were not specifically prompted to include sustainability. 9 Upper level designcourses can then be mapped to the sustainability concepts learned in the lower level courses.However, incorporating

Grounded in the theory of UniversalInstructional Design, these wordlists can be integrated into a syllabus and then be used as ateaching aid to promote an accessible engineering education. The goal is to reduce barriers tolearning by developing an explicitly-identified and robust list of vocabulary for all students in agiven course. Creating an automated program that improves vocabulary information over timekeeps it relevant and usable by instructors as well as students.Presently, there is no automated method to develop course-specific vocabulary lists. To fill thisgap, the authors have created a computer program, using a repository of over 2200 engineeringexams since the year 2000 from the University of Toronto, which

An end-of-semester water treatment competition was used successfully. The competitionrequired students to integrate experience from previous laboratory sessions. Competitions arecommonplace in engineering departments, but are often connected with student groups (ASCE,SAE, etc.) and participation is voluntary.

reads: This course introduces the engineering sciences of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics in an integrated manner. A unified approach to energy transfer in thermal and mechanical systems is presented. The course covers basic properties of fluids, fluid statics, simplified analyses of fluid motion, the basic laws of thermodynamics, and the application of control volume techniques to engineering problems. Power systems are introduced through a study of the Rankine cycle. Format: Lecture 3 hours, lab/tutorial 3 hours.The course is a fairly typical one for introductory engineering, and a comparable coursecan be found in almost every engineering program in North America.The syllabus

IntroductionOver the past several years, there has been a call in higher education to move from traditionallecturing to a more active classroom7-10. However, many faculty members face multiplechallenges when attempting to make a large lecture (over 100 students) an active learningenvironment1. Active learning can be defined as any teaching activity where students engage inthe learning process11.
