These studies could add tothe limited body of research in engineering education regarding intentional conceptual change aswell as interventions to promote conceptual change for other content.Conclusions This research study demonstrated that undergraduate engineering students havemisconceptions about the emergent characteristics of drift. Through a written protocol andsubsequent analysis, specific misconceptions of emergence for drift were identified and werefound to be prevalent. Even though some misconceptions observed here reflected those that havebeen reported in the literature about emergence, relationships between the differentmisconceptions were observed. Misconceptions for the emergent characteristics of thephenomena were

, the education provided tostudents can be better adapted to reflect the expectations of industry. It is important to definewhat the industry wants and needs for the current engineering programs9. Many universities areexposing students to manufacturing through senior capstone design courses to offer students witha realistic perspective of industry needs.Another vital area of manufacturing skills needed is within federal government organizations,such as the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy. A report coordinated by theNational Academies indicated that remanufacturing of weapons systems and nuclear systems, aswell as maintaining facilities for the maintenance and production of systems, is a strategic needfor the security of the

During 2013 class offering there was more time devoted to the interactive activitiesbetween the faculty-students and students-students. This means that even less time was devotedto the theoretical material normally presented in the traditional lectures and students were"forced" to spend even more time studying. The reflection of this is the best students'performance - 83% average and 10% standard deviation in the final exam.
