Revolution: Reasons it began in England. James Watt and the first true steamengine; use of new engines to mine more coal, produce cheaper iron. Rediscovery ofcement/concrete; setting underwater allowed development of canal system. Development ofrailroads. Cast iron as the first new structural material in thousands of years. Development ofglass technology to allow larger pieces, more windows. Concurrent developments in America;copper boom in Michigan corresponding with invention of telegraph. • On the Metamorphoses of Iron of Iron and Steel, by P.C.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Encouraging a growth mindset in engineering studentsIntroduction and backgroundThe idea of “mindset” became widely known due to Dweck’s 2008 book [1]. A person’s mindsetguides a great deal of how they approach life – and especially how one approaches education.Dweck defines two different mindsets: a “fixed mindset” and “growth mindset” [1]. Someonewith a fixed mindset believes that their intelligence is fixed and unchangeable. On the otherhand, someone with a growth mindset believes that their intelligence is changeable and can growas they learn more. Most people’s mindset lies along a continuum with these two mindsets

To address RQ3, twoadditional themes were included: experimental data and simulations. Representative quotes forthese four themes are given below: • Technological era: “Literally every engineering field needs some amount of coding or programming now.” • Efficiency: “An engineer can whip up a program to do something in ten minutes that would have taken 5 hours manually.” • Experimental Data: “This is a technological era, everything depends on programming to quickly and accurately process and analyze data.” • Simulations: “To model

Balk, University of Kentucky Page 14.1321.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2009 Using Entry Level Engineering Courses as a Method of Promoting Industry AwarenessAbstractIn today’s service-based culture, certain industrial and manufacturing jobs have gained areputation for being dirty, boring, and outdated. Even more, due to the ingrained nature ofthis reputation, many students have learned very little to nothing about these jobs andindustries. Due to negative stereotypes, students may dismiss

Low performance on three laboratory reports has led to instructional improvements,including additional focus in the lecture and detailed handouts.
