However, a more pervasive and integrated curriculum approach willhelp ensure that all students and faculty have an opportunity to develop globally competent skillsthat will better prepare them for success in the future.Bibliography1 Hawks, V., Harb, J., Parkinson, A., & Magleby, S.

However, they have become as common asslide rules in the 1960’s or hand calculators for the last four decades. There is now hardly anengineer without a smart phone. The question becomes, why is engineering education not usingsmart phones and tables (mobile devices) for complex engineering analysis? Two main concernscome to mind immediately, their screen sizes are small when compared to traditional desktop orlaptop computers, and they are relatively slow (but still faster than desktop computers in the1980’s).

The Mechanical Engineering department has been in the top 10 for BSMEgraduates nationwide for each of the last 27 years, with one of the department’s leadingeducational and research areas being vehicle and propulsion systems. In the mid-1990’s,Michigan Technological University was one of the first universities in the world to establishdistance learning with programs designed specifically to support the automotive OEM's and the Page 25.173.14electric power industries.

test will look at two billiard balls.Since I only see recent high school graduates, I consider it part of my responsibility to improve the problemsolving skills of the students and (in many cases) to break some of the bad habits that they may have learned inhigh school. It amazes me every year how many engineering students have forgotten the formulae for volumesand surface areas. So they get some practice early in the semester on homework and entrance quizzes to ensurethese basic equations are fresh in their memory. The students that I see are usually weak in converting units. Sothey quickly learn (because I tell them repeatedly) that if they need the velocity in m/s for the equation they areusing, they can expect the velocity to be given in

These labs may include fluid flow development, boundary layer visualization, laminar/ turbulent flow visualization, flow around a cylinder, sphere or a wing of infinite length, and etc.The design constraints are as follows:• The design fits in the existing lab space; the length is not to exceed 3 meters.• Cost to manufacture a prototype of the successful design is one-tenth in comparison to a commercially available device roughly priced $30,000.• Flow Quality Standards enforced in the working section: o

There are over 4,400 undergraduates and 2,100 graduate students inengineering and computer science. In this paper, “engineering” includes computer science, butnot construction.In Fall 2010, ASU had three NSF grants which supported transfer upper division and graduatestudents. The primary scholarship funding for transfer students was an NSF S-STEM grant(#0728695) called CIRC/METS (Collaborative Interdisciplinary ResearchCommunity/Motivated Engineering Transfer Students) for 2008-2012. If transfer students in thisCIRC/METS Program graduated and continued on to graduate school full-time right aftergraduating, they could receive a scholarship

Society’s ability to address these global challenges requires the technicalknowledge of scientists and engineers with master’ s or doctoral degrees 1. These globalchallenges will not be addressed solely by Ph.D.s in the academy but also by Ph.D.s in business,government, and non-profit organizations. Over the past decade, doctoral education has receivednational attention with the discussion focusing on criticisms and reform efforts. One of thecriticisms argues that there

is sensing (S)versus intuitive (N) type (12).The sensing person prefers a straightforward, logical, step-by-step approach to learning. The sensing person, often learns by solving problems, andtends to find theory difficult. The intuitive individual, on the other hand, will skip stepsand follow hunches. He/she learns from theory and tends to do a minimal number ofproblems because they think they understand without having to solve problems (13).Perry’s Model of College Student Development (14) can also be used to monitor studentlearning. According to this model, which consists of nine positions (i.e., stages),occupying four general outlooks; people progress from positions 1 and 2, (dualistic),right versus wrong orientations to multiplicity

protection means and methods, and to determinehow fall protection means and methods knowledge is most effectively transferred to employees,a survey was administered to employees of multiple construction entities located in the PacificNorthwest US. The intent of the study was to assess how the employers of construction entitiesprovide fall protection training and to determine which employee(s) are most effective incommunicating safety aspects within the entities. It is important to understand what trainingpractices currently exist, as well as the effectiveness of the training, in order to determine bestpractice methodologies for delivering fall protection training to construction personnel.ObjectivesThe primary objectives of this research were to
