The papers detail the process engagedin during and the reasoning behind the redesign and development of activities for what was,through all previous assessments, a popular and well received course sequence. As a result oftheir internal assessment the faculty from the Department of Civil & Mechanical Engineering atthe US Military Academy [USMA] at West Point determined that their first sequence ofengineering mechanics courses provided the technical content that was required, but the courseswere lacking in a few

Correspondingly, spatialreasoning ability is a predictor of success in engineering school. The ability to mentally rotate3D objects seems especially important [1].

2016/2017 academic year.IntroductionThe cost of constructing a prototype of a finished design is usually high. This is especially truewhen design projects deal with solving practical and real-world engineering design problems [1].For small undergraduate mechanical engineering programs, such as ours, resources are limited.Therefore, funding the construction of these high cost designs tends to cause problems andhinders the selection of good quality capstone senior design projects. This problem becomesmore pressing when the senior design projects are multidisciplinary which require higher budget.Multidisciplinary projects are needed in order comply with the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) accreditation criteria [2], which

. However, students’ exposure to intuitive reasoning, which plays a role in all decision-making, is limited during their undergraduate engineering formation. In an effort to generate abaseline for how we can operationalize intuition in the context of engineering education, thepurpose of our current research was to synthesize characterizations and portrayals of intuitivereasoning. We focused on literature from the field of management because intuition isconsidered in the context of complex, strategic decisions, which are reflective of the designdecisions central to engineering. The specific research questions addressed in this study are 1)how does extant management literature characterize intuition?, and 2) how does extantmanagement literature
