strategiesthat practicing engineers employ while reading, writing, interpreting, and evaluating varioustextual genres at their workplace. This research project explores the literacy practices ofengineers across four disciplines of engineering: electrical/computer, mechanical/aerospace,civil/environmental, and chemical/biological. These literacy practices include the textual genresthat the engineers read and/or write, the frameworks that the engineers employ when interpretingor evaluating a text, and the situated social activities in which the genres and frameworks areembedded. The knowledge gained about these literacy practices will be translated into a modelof DLI in engineering to teach students how to use authentic engineering literacy practices

sixengineering majors that we compared include: mechanical, electrical, chemical, industrial,aerospace and bioX (a compilation of biology-related majors).Using t-tests and analysis of variance tests (ANOVAs), the trends across majors and gender forintrinsic psychological motivation, intrinsic behavioral motivation, social good motivation,financial motivation, mentor influence motivation, and parental motivation to study engineeringwere explored.Our findings show that there are significant differences in the level of motivation for students ofdifferent engineering majors. For men, the level of intrinsic behavioral motivation to studyengineering is significantly lower for industrial engineering students than for mechanical oraerospace engineering students
complex stiffness or complex modulus. The measurement ofdynamic mechanical properties of structural materials is of interest for at least two reasons; (a) accuratenumerical values of such intrinsic material properties are needed as input to design equations, and (b) dynamicmechanical property measurements can be used for quality control operations during fabrication and/or forperiodic in-situ inspection during the service life of the components. The increasing use of composite materialsin the aerospace, aircraft and automobile industries has brought about the need for rapid and reliableexperimental techniques to characterize their mechanical properties. In the field of vibrations frequency-domaintesting is increasingly becoming state-of-the-art
designfrom tool and automotive industries to military, aerospace, consumer medical, and recreational products tomention a few. Consequently, the product designer is forced to make approximations based on similarity toclassical, or closed–form soluble problems which result in overdesigned product that may be non–competitivefrom a cost standpoint. On the other hand, the product designer may rely on physical prototyping which isgenerally expensive and increases the cost of the design process. With the proliferation of personal computersand the availability of software to aid the design process, it is no longer necessary to rely heavily on intuitionand settle for approximate solutions to real–world problems. 2

Design Lessons in Education for Projects Demanding Cross-Disciplinary IntegrationIntroductionUAVs have been used for curricular development in a handful of pioneering instances[1]. Because of their external physical configuration, they are extremely interesting tostudents with hobbyist interests in radio-controlled aircraft, as well as to studentsinterested in careers in the aerospace industry. Though the reality of jobs in aerospace issuch that students will work on one small part of an airplane, UAVs offer the potential tointroduce students to all aspects of aerospace design, in a controllable microcosm [2], [3].However, UAVs offer different developmental opportunities outside the aerospacecommunity. Notably, they are an active
