wavy fibers. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Redesign of an Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Course to Keep Students Engaged and InterestedAbstractAn Introduction to Mechanical Engineering course is redesigned by integrating activities thatinvolve experimentation, exploration, analysis, and discovery. The course includes a briefintroduction of principal subject areas in the major and basic training with select software tools.Technical subjects are supplemented by presenting and discussing other important topicsincluding engineering ethics. Behaviors that promote future success such as class attendancealong with teamwork, communication, and other soft skills

better positionour program to be competitive with programs of other institutions. The courses in our 120semester credit hours restructured curriculum are similar to most schools and therefore nocompromises are made toward decrease in program effectiveness.Five general education courses were eliminated from the BS ME program, equivalent to areduction of 12 semester credits. The current requirements for General Education total 30semester credits, 18 of which are in the areas of oral and written communications, ethics, culturaldiversity, and personal/social environments areas. The remaining 12 required credits consist ofmathematics and science courses.2. The following pre-calculus level mathematics courses were eliminated from the

“ability to design and conduct experiments...” (outcome (b)). The FE questionsI analyzed in the case studies call for analysis but not detailed design (in the sense of usinganalysis to select parameters or components); they certainly do not call for design “...withinrealistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety,manufacturability, and sustainability.” (outcome (c)).The FE is only partially aligned with outcome (e), and then, only if “engineering problems”means “textbook engineering problems.” Real-world engineering problems are typicallyill-posed, have multiple goals, have multiple solution strategies, and are subject tonon-engineering constraints [23]; FE questions do not bear these features

described by Sharp and Rowe [6], are offeredfor all engineering majors at a relatively small university; others still are integrated into theuniversities’ co-operative education programs [7] or career services [8], [9]. The timing of eachof these courses varies from the students’ first year [2], [5] to their senior year [10], and topicscovered range from resume and cover letter writing to ethics to interviewing strategies. Oneprogram [11] also touches upon personal finances, and navigating benefits and retirementsavings. These existing courses have proved effective and are useful to the students who haveenrolled. The goal for the courses in the current paper, however, is to make these coursesmandatory for all students in the mechanical engineering

These profiles are a part of the overall Indigo Assessment, whichhelps educators observe the non-academic traits of their students. The multi

Engineers play an unreplaceable role in theglobal sustainable development. As a result, the importance of sustainable engineering educationhas been widely recognized by engineering educators. In addition, ABET [1] has two studentsoutcome criteria for sustainability: students should have (c) an ability to design a system,component or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic,environmental, social, political, ethical

ethics and effects of students’ useof solution manuals on their performance during exams [1-6]. One study surveyed the facultyand students in a large mechanical engineering department to seek their perspectives on theethics and the educational values of employing solution manuals in solving textbook homeworkassignments. Many instructors had ethical concerns regarding the students’ use of solutionmanuals, while many students did not consider the use of solution manuals as scholasticdishonesty [1]. Few studies have shown that the use of solution manual has an adverse effect onstudents’ learning [2-4]. Other studies have suggested few new strategies for assigninghomework problems [5, 6].The authors of this paper have been teaching engineering

educationThe study of academic emotions in engineering education with the intent of informing classroompractices, assessment, and instructional interventions is limited. In 2015, Husman and colleagues[18] explored the emotions of engineering students enrolled in an ethics course. The researchersused self-reports and salivary cortisol at the beginning and end of class and found a negativecorrelation between class-related positive emotions (i.e., enjoyment) and students’ cortisol levels.The more enjoyment students self-reported, the less psychological stress they experienced andthe better they performed.Villanueva and colleagues have reported using self-reports with electrodermal activity sensors[19], [20] while Goodridge, Call, and colleagues have used
