an integral part of product design, manufacturing, and use. Today, mostcompanies sell their products in different global markets and this requires consideration ofcustomer needs and ergonomics of users from these different markets. Moreover, productdesigners should consider ergonomics to enhance sustainability and maintainability of products.Recent advancements in computer technology in the last two decades have contributed to thedevelopment of computer simulations for ergonomics. Such simulations are known as DigitalHuman Modeling (DHM) and are used to assess the performance of human operators in theworkplace. DHM can also be integrated with Computer Aided Design (CAD) to evaluate theergonomics of product designs.2. Related LiteratureIn the

In fact, over the past decade and a half, millions of K12 studentshave experienced engineering education integrated into the regular school curriculum (Dori,2009, 2009) including numerous studies on integrating PBL into engineering education (Fink,1999, Frank, 2003, Martinez-Mones, 2005, Macias-Guarasa, 2006, Eskrootchi, 2010, Kumar,2013, Dargham, 2015).

Graded Homework and Hello to Homework QuizzesAbstractIn higher education, an ongoing issue is assessment of student learning. We wonder how toassess, how often to assess, why we are assessing, and even how are we, as faculty, going tohandle all the grading and management of assessment. Engineering students are frequentlyassessed on homework, quizzes, projects, and exams, but given today’s connected world,students may be copying or sharing homework solutions. Often, they do not realize how workingproblems is integral to their success in a class as well as to their understanding of engineering. Inaddition, across the disciplines we are more aware of how students study and that they often donot select the most productive

Forthat reason our orientation in this course was different from the orientation found in Bucciarelli’sand Drew’s proposal for integrating the liberal arts with engineering (2015).
