The authors recognize that thenumber of interviews is extremely limited. This was due to the difficulty in contacting studentswho had already graduated. Nevertheless, some insights were gained into the thought process ofthese students.The students were asked to describe their best lab experience as a mechanical engineeringstudent, and what made it the best. In both cases, the students preferred hands on interaction withreal tools, sensors, and equipment. One student enjoyed a lab in mechanical testing because itwas “hands-on, exciting, and mildly dangerous”. The other student enjoyed a

and the environment (i.e. STSE), inteaching undergraduate engineering students? The use of STSE as a theoretical framework wasinspired by two motivating factors: first, STSE is a framework used primarily in the K-12 realm,and so there’s a novelty to integrating the two, often distinct realms of K-12 STEM and post-secondary engineering education; and secondly, STSE represents a broad range of perspectivesand instructional tools that connect science and technology with society and the environment,offering opportunities for rich and diverse responses and participation from the instructors in thestudy.Background LiteratureSTSE gained prominence as a result of the social movements of the 1960’s and 1970’s thatcalled for a change in science to

For complex geometry, ANSYS Mechanical APDLprograms were created by the instructor so that the requirements of student interaction with theprogram are minimal, and to keep their focus on deformation concepts. The mini-FEA allows theinstructor to provide a quick illustration of deformation concepts as well as the basic steps inimplementing FEM. The concepts of deformation mechanics are then demonstrated by graphicalillustrations from both FEM and the traditional photoelasticity method. The purpose of this paperis to study the effectiveness of integrating FEM and discover how

through a “quality assurance” regime. To provide a flavor of thecurrent approach, faculty are required to specify the number of hours students need to spend tolearn specific content; academic credit as well as faculty course loads are then assigned usingthis measure, even as the specified learning outcomes provides the basis for determining whatdegree programs students are qualified to enter at the start of the second cycle. This means thatEurope has embraced a learning outcomes regime far more extensive than anything required byABET EC 2000’s accreditation protocols.6As an institutional historian and an ethnographer of educational institutions, we have reason tobelieve that the changes brought about by the Bologna Process will not occur all

The structural model for these services is highly centralized within ODOS at ourinstitution. ODOS oversees student programming as well as residence life, Greek life, and othercore services; they also provide routine support to students in need.
