past the middle of the semester, there wasnot enough time to accomplish all three tasks, and none of the submitted designs met the full setof design criteria. If the project had been introduced early in the semester as a required part ofthe curriculum, the students earning an A or B for the course would have submitted designswhich would have been more likely to meet the criteria.Freshman design projects are necessarily a gamble; students are asked to design a structure ormachine before taking any mechanical design courses, so the results are often strong in conceptbut weak in technical soundness. Clearly, juniors or seniors would have developed betterdesigns. However, by exposing freshmen to a design problem early in their academic careers

These representations used in engineering education not onlyinfluence the learning of the students, but also affect the analytical methods used by studentswhen they encounter similar concepts in their work. This investigation of the role of visualrepresentations in engineering and the students’ understanding thereof consists of several parts.First, an overview of such representations in mechanical engineering education is provided. Thena comparison of the different types of visual representations is presented. This paper culminatesin a discussion and comparison of the results of this investigation of student learning at variousstages in their educational careers.

As issues ofclimate change, depletion of nonrenewable resources, and degradation of water quality prevail onlocal and global scales, higher education must respond to these challenges with a focus on STEMeducation that involves understanding and consideration of environmental, economic, and socialimpacts. For a host of reasons, however, STEM colleges and universities often produceoverspecialized graduates that remain unaware of their majors’ larger contexts, especially thosethat touch upon sustainability.
