Two of the 40 institutions featured special transportation-only departments. One was arailroading department at Montana State University – Northern; this department was notawarding a degree. The other was an intermodal transportation institute at the University ofDenver that was unique to the study region.

design basis for developmentof Interactive Virtual Laboratories in thermodynamics. Thermodynamics is a difficult subject forchemical and biological engineering students to master. One reason for the difficulty is thediverse and challenging set of threshold concepts that they must coherently synthesize and beable to apply in a diverse range of contexts. Based on our experience and from reports in theliterature, we have identified a set of threshold concepts we propose are critical for mastery ofthermodynamics. To help students better learn these concepts, we have been developingInteractive Virtual Laboratories. This paper describes the development and initial investigationof two such laboratories. They are available for instructors to use through

For clarity, we view problem-based learning as pertaining to the development ofknowledge based on the fundamental principles of science and mathematics and project-basedlearning to include mastering the engineering skills required to implement a design solution.Therefore, the multi and inter-disciplinary aspects of the senior design projects are obvious.When a topic, such the one presented here, combines and integrates a solution to an industrialneed with an educational platform and experiential module, the projects is even more valuable.The purpose of this paper is to

The constraint partition is an act ofdivision and multiplication. The constraint revision leads to unification and the constraintintroduction may break symmetry.Both TRIZ and ASIT have been criticized due to the significant time required to master themethods. Furthermore, a sophisticated product which requires investigation will not be easilygenerated by either TRIZ or ASIT. On the other hand, knowledge-based creative design toolsaim to accumulate, formulate and manage knowledge so that the knowledge is easily extractedand clearly presented for problem solving.

After an initial drop in enrollment, present enrollment levels are almost back to fall 2004levels.
