For example, the National Academy of Engineering envisions engineers who “willremain well grounded in the basics of mathematics and science, and who will expand their visionof design through a solid grounding in the humanities, social sciences, and economics” and whowill “rapidly embrace the potentialities offered by creativity, invention, and cross disciplinaryfertilization to create and accommodate new fields of endeavor, including those that requireopenness to interdisciplinary efforts with nonengineering disciplines such as science, socialscience, and business” [1]. The American Society of Civil Engineers suggests that “civilengineers will serve as master builders, environmental stewards, innovators and

preparation – e.g., capstone projects in the senior year – and because students oftentransfer out of science and engineering majors because of difficulties with solving problems,considerable effort has been directed towards helping students become proficient problemsolvers. To assure that problem-solving skills are mastered, problem solving has become a coreelement in engineering curricula. In U.S. engineering education, ABET (Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology) criteria for accrediting instructional programs treat problemsolving as one of the critical learning outcomes to be achieved throughout curricula and isdirectly addressed in ABET Outcome 3.1 an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complexengineering problems by applying

was probably the most important subject to master for this section off the course No, it was confusing as you were thrown into it without understanding what you are dealing with. Needs to be more clear about the goals of the experiment, and why you trying to achieve that. This material was useful. Having to calculate multiple times the friction factor in both the straight channel and the bends channel was good practice for the exam as it helped e memorize the Mech Bal Eqn. It also made the concept of friction quite clear as far as how it affects flow, especially on the micro scale. it was good to talk through the math and how it worked with my group members and explain the math to them.

Physical and psychological experiences such as increased heartrate and rapid breathing before a presentation, or tiredness of muscles after exercise, can eitherbe interpreted as a positive performance-enhancer or as something to be avoided.

McKraken’s comprehensive examination of first-year CS students [4] reportsthat only approximately 20% of the surveyed students could solve programming problemsexpected by their instructors. In addition, the importance of programming continues to grow. Notonly are CS and ECE students expected to master the art of programming, but student mastery ofdomain-specific languages such as MATLAB, R, Maple, Mathematica, and one or more HDLs isnow required to be successful in all engineering disciplines.Composing one’s thoughts in a computer language – be it a traditional

It isdifficult for a single-disciplinary teacher to solve all the problems faced by engineeringstudents. This requires the construction of a high-quality interdisciplinary faculty team.
