Oberst have identified the need for reform in engineering education inthe Arab world and all parts of the world, “as universities prepare graduates to enter theprofession of engineering which has been transformed by massive technologicaldevelopments and by globalization of all aspects of concern to engineers. Engineeringeducators in the Arab states region face particular challenges in addition to those facingsimilar educators in other parts of the world (including) tailoring programs to fill the needs ofcountries that are undergoing rapid modernization3 .”G.L. Downey and J. Lucena have identified cultural differences in how engineers define andsolve problems differently. “While it is now appropriate to assume
the cut. This provides a nicely mitered joint, which can then be reinforcedwith 1/16” thick plates cut from balsa wood sheet stock.The top and bottom chord members are best constructed by starting with one continuous lengthof balsa wood, and then laminating pieces to it in the middle region where the higher loadsrequire a thicker cross-section. It is very difficult to construct straight chords by piecing themtogether in shorter lengths from joint-to-joint.To keep the bottom chords parallel when connecting the two truss panels together, one can tapethe chords to a sheet of paper with two parallel lines drawn on it. To keep the truss square andplumb, the trusses can be held in a vertical position with a carpenter‟s square or other
engineers andmanagers. The experience has been a Win-Win scenario for the students and the Industrypartner. The students have the opportunity to work on a practical design project and to interactwith outside engineers. The companies also have the ability to work directly with some of ourbrightest and most capable students, providing them an opportunity to identify potential newhires.Bibliography1. Dym, C. L., A. M.

: IdeaKegClearly stated, there are innumerable tools for implementing creating problem solving techniquesin the classroom. One such tool is IdeaKegTM, a component of Kiln Ideas Ltd.’s broadercollaborative innovation framework known as FuseTrailTM which closely follows that of theOsborn-Parnes CPS model. We picked the IdeaKeg problem solving tool for several reasons.One is that the tool is used by companies for inventing new products and services. It also hasbeen associated particularly with generating ideas and solving problems for startup businesses,and we wanted our engineering students to model this experience in our curriculum. It includesprogressive layers of deepening associations for the participants, ending up with an example ofhow a problem was
targeted toward engineering design. The collaboration between two universities (LTU and UDM) and three different colleges (Biomedical, Mechanical and Nursing) combines the diverse backgrounds and capabilities of students. Multidisciplinary team of this kind are the norm in industry and require project management skills such as effective communication, decision making, resource gathering and scheduling of various tasks. Therefore, the students not only must demonstrate a prototype designed for specific customer need(s) but also the execution process followed by the teams. This requires the students to recognize their roles for contributions in the team.The following sections give a brief
students progress from basic data collection and reverse engineering projects throughmore open-ended, industry-sponsored capstone design experiences. The team ofmultidisciplinary faculty from Engineering and Communications who teach the sophomore levelcourses have observed the difficulty students have tackling the fundamental open-ended natureof true design problems and have subsequently revised the sequence. For the Fall of 2005 theSophomore Clinic sequence was revised to introduce Dym et al.’s converging-divergingframework for design by incorporating a series of three projects of increasing complexity withaccompany activities designed to reinforce the converging-diverging concepts. For the thirdproject in the series, roughly sixty students
observations and opinions about how toinstruct senior mechanical design projects based on our Capstone design course - MECH690-Mechanical Design will also be presented and shared throughout this paper. We recommend thatmechanical engineering program provide every student the virtual factory when they graduate.1. IntroductionOne of the main activities of engineers is to design and to construct products that satisfycustomers‟ and society‟s needs. One of the primary outcomes for engineering education is totrain students for conducting engineering design. In ancient time, engineering students wereapprentices to their Masters to learn engineering designs through real practices in realenvironments. Nowadays, engineering students are effectively training
. Students are provided theopportunity to work on real projects with real consequences and also learn the value thatcompanies place on IP and are better prepared for the normal practices concerning IP that areused in industry.Bibliography1 Todd, R.

Course StructureHumanitarian Design Projects is a two-credit engineering elective at the Harvard School ofEngineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) that challenges groups of engineering students todesign and implement multi-semester humanitarian engineering projects with partner communitiesaround the world. Undergraduate teaching assistants and student project managers are responsiblefor co-creating course assignments with the head instructor, which are then assigned to studentseach week and subsequently reviewed by the instructional staff. Each assignment must fit into asemester-long strategy that addresses the particular design prompt or need communicated by theproject partner(s). Each project spans multiple years, which means that each semester
