change. In the past, what we nowidentify as design thinking was often driven by tacit knowledge, intuition, and personalpreference of expert designers. The potential now is to enhance this approach through cross-disciplinary, evidence-based research.Due to the widespread use of design thinking, and the preponderance of practical and academicliterature, many conceptualizations exist. However, a recent study by Carlgren, Rauth, andElmquist7, sought to bridge these gaps by exploring the literature and conducting interviews withmembers of six leading organizations. The result was a framework, aligned with both theacademic literature and authentic practice, that presents design thinking activity across threelevels of abstraction: (1) mindsets that

If the hands-on experience is gained in the process of completing a team project, thebenefits are even more valuable [3] – [5]. Although not all undergraduate engineering courseslend themselves to hands-on projects, some are especially suited for the task. The plethora ofphysical devices and systems discussed in instrumentation and measurement courses certainlyprovide basis for many suitable projects. The work presented here involves the design,development, and testing of an accelerometer by students in a third-year mechanical engineeringinstrumentation and

These courses generallyfocus on the application of the knowledge the students have gained in their core courses. One ofthe courses offered is ME 418 Design of Thermal Systems, in which the students apply thefundamentals they learned in Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, and Heat Transfer to thedesign of systems that involve fluid flow and heat transfer.Educational research has shown that project-based learning is a good fit for courses where thedesired learning outcome is the application of knowledge rather than the acquisition ofknowledge.

The education of engineers follows a structured curriculumconsisting of mathematics, physics, and core engineering courses. These courses provide skillsdeemed necessary for engineers. However, these skills might not cater to the requirement of thejob market. It is imperative to properly develop and teach the necessary skills for the workforceto each engineering student since a degree is no longer a guarantee of a good job [1]. Each ofthese students need to be prepared for what the industry may expect of their skillset [2].

In this paper, the program was used to examine theincidence of these types of plagiarism by retrospectively examining more than 3000 CAD filesover fourteen semesters during a seven-year period. We have found plagiarism in this CADcourse to be a relatively uncommon occurrence, but nevertheless present in 1-2% of allsubmitted files, and involving as many as 16% of all students in a particular section.

Inengineering, higher abilities in cross-sectioning have been linked to better performance inMechanics of Materials courses [3]. Two categories of spatial reasoning, as defined by Linn andPetersen [4], are mental rotation and spatial visualization. Mental rotation involves the ability tomanipulate three-dimensional (3D) objects in one’s mind by rotation, and spatial visualizationinvolves the ability to manipulate three-dimensional (3D) objects in one’s mind

Additionally, women made up only about 12% of the workforcein engineering, in 2013 (McCauley-Bush). In a Leanin.org and McKinsey study, on average,women are promoted and hired at lower rates than men, so far fewer women become seniorleaders. At more senior levels, we see women shift from line to staff roles, so very few end upon the path to becoming CEO, and women remain underrepresented in the corporate pipeline.Women are 46% of the entry level workers, yet make up only 19% of the C-suite, at the highestlevels of executive leadership (Leanin.org, 2016).
