While each participant has his or her own task, to satisfy the customer requirements, theparticipants must work together as a team keeping in mind the big picture. Teamwork andcommunication skills are thus essential to the successful completion of the entire production. In a traditional physical simulation, the four students must sit in the same room andcomplete the production together. The simulations are part of an industrial engineering course

4123 class managed to control costs quite well. Using hangers instead of rebar was onearea of cost savings. The hangers were purchased for $0.13 each from a local dry cleaner. Theywere a heavy-gage galvanized hanger, with a cost less than $5.00 to provide one hanger to eachof the 33 students! Concrete materials were generously donated by the Civil Engineeringdepartment. Due to the small scale of the beams (4”x3”x16”) and the fact that students workedin groups of three ensured the material costs were so minimal, the Civil Engineering departmentdid not mind donating these materials. Steel forms from the Civil Engineering department werealso lent to our project, allowing us to save time and money by not constructing a one-time useform for the

As a discipline at the intersection of traditional engineering disciplines, “mechatronicsand robotics engineering” (MRE) is fast-growing and future-minded but suffers similar diversityand inclusion challenges as engineering broadly. This paper explores these challenges andidentifies unique opportunities inherent to MRE to 1) increase the participation of women andunderrepresented minorities (URM) in MRE, and 2) use MRE to increase the participation ofwomen and URM in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) broadly

By identifying engineering-related practices, bodies of knowledge, and habits ofmind derived from youth’s workplaces, the purpose of this study was to lay the groundwork forthe development of educational programming which can leverage youth’s workplace-derivedskills and bodies of knowledge toward future engineering careers.

One areathat has gained considerable momentum in recent years is the effort to promote development ofan entrepreneurial mindset (EM) in undergraduate engineering students. A driving force behindthis momentum is the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN). KEEN is a group ofover 40 institutions united in the mission to promote entrepreneurial-minded learning inengineering students. In KEEN, EM is construed to have three primary components, the 3C’s ofCuriosity: Connection; and Creating Value. Recent efforts

They will need to  keep in mind ​who t​ hey are designing for; it is not for themselves! Once complete, students will present their projects in an engineering  exhibit, and evaluate each other’s solutions. Looking for more inspiration?​ You can prompt your students to design something more specific.

In fact, many institutions of higher education offer courses andprograms that are specifically designed with this goal in mind. While initially the main objectiveof entrepreneurship education was encouraging students to create new ventures, more recentlythere has been a shift in focus to a broader concept which emphasizes entrepreneurship as a wayof thinking and behaving [1]. A student with this mentality would not only be successful indeveloping startups and ventures but can also take the creativity and self-confidence to any otherjob in industry or academia.Developing an entrepreneurial mindset and building self-confidence can (and should
