byconvergent thinking and both types of thinking have been explored for an appropriate amount oftime. The act of developing an engineering design process, which is a balance of divergent andconvergent thinking strategies, can be an obstacle to problem solving and is not intuitive. It is forthis reason that teaching the engineering design process and helping students overcome thisobstacle is necessary in engineering education.Using Video as DataVideo recording technology is a data collection instrument which allows researchers to collectboth auditory and visual information and re-enter the study environment even after the study isdone [1, 18]. Data can be extracted and carefully selected from the video recording for a more in-depth analysis of specific

Within the context of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET),the lowest levels in any learning hierarchy model are incompatible with required ABET programoutcomes. According to ABET1, three of the required 11 ABET student outcomes include 1) theability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering (i.e., ABET studentoutcome [a]), 2) the ability to design and conduct experiments (i.e., ABET student outcome [b]),and 3) the ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems (i.e., ABET studentoutcome [e]). It is important that engineering faculty of all disciplines continuously push theenvelope and work to elevate student learning and comprehension so that

Butthe equipment is costly ($2,900 for the ME-8230 model or $4,900 for the ME-8244 model)considering what limited tests could be performed by it.Abramowitz and Elliott12 introduced a lab for junior mechanical engineering students applyingtorque wrenches to the testing of torsional strength of metal fasteners. They emphasizedstatistical data analysis and used a specialized torsional testing fixture manufactured byGreenslade and Company13.

ofengineering in the campus community.Many educational institutions, both formal and informal, have implemented some type of robotickits to support science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education. The greatpopularity of these kits (like LEGO NXT/EV3) stems from their affordability and flexibility.However, many students feel overexposed to these products since they used them in high schoolsor even middle schools. Also, NXT Mindstorms kits are often incapable of performing morecomplex robotic tasks and they don’t look like humans. Thus, in our institution, students’exposure to humanoid robots is investigated as a means to increase student retention throughextrinsic motivation.
