The FE is typically taken around the timeof graduation; passing the FE is a requirement for becoming an Engineer in Training in the UnitedStates. After several years of work experience as an EIT, an engineer is eligible to take thePrinciples and Practice of Engineering exam (PE), which is a requirement for licensure. FEexams are available for chemical, civil, electrical and computer, environmental, industrial, andmechanical engineering; there is also an “other disciplines” exam. Some subjects, such asMechanical Design and Analysis, appear only on the FE Mechanical; other subjects includedifferent topics and are assessed differently on

While both of these states have dispositional elements that are unlikely to changemuch over the course of a semester in our classrooms, both motivation and curiosity are alsosituational – dependent on immediate environmental factors in the moment. While faculty wouldprefer to work with curious and motivated students, we may not be aware of the ways our courseenvironments cultivate or discourage either.The entrepreneurial mindset (EM), as defined by [1], rests on the three C’s of “Curiosity,Connection, and Value-Creation.” We use “curiosity” in this context as the habit of

As aresult of the information explosion, the information that is directly or indirectly useful forproduct design has increased in an exponential manner [1-2].

In this paper I discuss the methods I used to illustrate the geometricapproach in these courses, and report the results of end-of-semester surveys designed to assess mystudents’ cognitive and metacognitive understanding of tensors. Based on my experience, Iencourage other instructors to adopt the geometric approach in their own courses. By doing so, Ibelieve it is possible to remove some of the mystery surrounding tensors, making them moreaccessible, understandable, and perhaps even a little more interesting.1
