New designs areresponsible for stimulating sales and company growth.1 This paper presents the findings of a fouryear longitudinal study on the impact of motivation factors on course performance of mechanicalengineering students in design courses. The first design course, cornerstone design, takes placeduring the first semester of freshman year. The second course, capstone design, takes place duringthe student’s final year of undergraduate study. An adapted version of the Motivated Strategies forLearning Questionnaire (MSLQ) is used to measure five motivation factors: cognitive value, self-regulation, test/presentation anxiety

Engineering Ethics

responsible engineers has been recognized byABET [1], the National Academy of Engineering [2], many engineering educators [3], [4], [5],and even the popular press [6]. However, questions persist regarding how best to developengineering students’ understandings and abilities related to social and ethical responsibility [7],[8], [9], [10]. Challenges in facilitating these understandings include being aware of thepreconceptions and perceptions that students bring into college, and also how the broad set ofexperiences and influences they encounter during their undergraduate education may impact thedevelopment of their understandings of what it means to be a socially and ethically responsibleengineer.Despite the changes in ABET standards and efforts to

Sample results for flow over a cylinder inside a waterflume are included as a demonstration of the system.I. IntroductionParticle image velocimetry (PIV) first appeared in the literature in 1984 [1]. PIV is a non-intrusive measurement technique where particles are injected into a flow field. The particles areilluminated by a laser sheet, and two pictures are taken close together in time. If the distance theparticles travel over the time between pictures is determined, the velocity of the

Universities are under pressure to integrate additional technicalcontent into engineering curricula, while simultaneously experiencing pressure to graduatestudents on time and to reduce the number of credits required for graduation [2]. In the year2000, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (now ABET Inc.) put newstandards in place. The new system shifted from one of counting credits and was superseded byan “outcomes-based process,” in which educational institutions must demonstrate that graduatespossess a breadth of abilities, such as the ability to work in teams and communicate acrossdisciplines, as well as possess a technical depth of knowledge [3]. While previously study abroadhad been viewed as a “perk” of being a

Facial ExpressionRecognition is used in psychology to reveal a person’s true emotion at the given time [1, 2].Charles Darwin was the first to suggest that facial expressions were universal, meaning thatfacial expressions are biologically innate and have evolved with us as part of evolution [3].Psychology researchers have conducted multiple studies that have supported Darwin’s idea aboutfacial expressions [4, 5, 6].

Implications forother institutions are discussed to promote the application of this participatory approach incurriculum evaluation processes.1. Introduction Today, engineering students need to develop a broad range of technical and entrepreneurialskills, such as: the ability to address a real-world problem, to design a technology-based productor service, to work in multidisciplinary teams, to communicate effectively, and to manage risks[1], [2]. To address this need, schools of engineering have created different opportunities to learnentrepreneurial skills and knowledge. Studies

Nanwang is a town located in Shandong Provinceand it is the highest location on China’s Grand Canal with an elevation of 38 m [1]. Consideringelevation differences along the canal, the first challenge in the design of this sectional canal ishow to overcome the influence of gravity, in order to allow the water to flow smoothly. Thesecond challenge is the water shortage in northern China due to an uneven precipitationdistribution. To solve both of these problems, the ancient engineers in the Ming Dynastypresented the following three solutions [2].The first solution was to construct artificial watercourses to lead

very much. Mostoften, students sit in massive lecture halls passively listening to lectures. With this traditionalapproach, the lecturer drives the learning process rather than students actively taking part in thelearning process themselves [1]. A more solid and modern approach on learning, called Problem-Based Learning (PBL), was introduced through John Dewey’s philosophies. PBL comes fromidea that learning is grounded in discovery and is better achieved through mentoring by teachingprofessionals, rather than the traditional “transmission of knowledge” approach. The PBLapproach leads to higher student engagement and involvement in the learning process, whichallows for increased levels of deep thought and discovery since students are actively

IntroductionIn a globalized world, engineers are often confronted with increasingly socio-technical, multi-facetted, and ill-defined challenges [1]. These challenges require that engineers recognizespecific needs and constraints, leverage the perspectives of multiple stakeholders, and workeffectively within diverse, multidisciplinary teams [2].
