. There are a number of ways to create such a community, and no single solution is sufficient. Thebest recommendation is for the university to have a holistic approach employing multiple strategiessuch as: tutoring, mentoring, learning centers, first-year student programs, at-risk student programs ,strong academic advising, and career awareness7.Over the years, much has been done to understand and improve the retention of students8-12.Universities use problem solving recitations, and the integration of math/science/engineering intomore exciting engineering courses with more active design projects for students. Many of theseefforts have had limited success and are often overwhelmed by changes in the student bodyattending the university, changes in

Page 11.65.2Each computational analysis package has strengths and weaknesses when compared to theothers. EES also has the thermodynamic functions discussed here (and functions for many otherfluids). While EES is not a traditional structured programming language, the appearance of EESprograms is similar to the appearance of C or FORTRAN programs, and some users find the unitconversion procedures awkward in EES.

. In the 2012-13 accreditation cycle programs had to prepare students towork professionally in both thermal and mechanical systems areas. This required students tocomplete design projects both in thermal and mechanical systems areas. This requirement waschanged in 2013-14 accreditation cycle and the programs are now required to prepare students towork professionally in either thermal or mechanical systems while requiring topics in each area.Therefore the design projects are only needed in one area, but students must still be exposed totopics in both areas.Table 2.

bestatistically valid and resulting data provide a groundbreaking view of mechanical engineeringeducation.In a broad-brush summary of the Vision 2030 survey data, the industry supervisors’ four greatestperceptions of weakness are worth highlighting. These four were focused on engineeringpractice—how devices are made and how they work, communication within diverse engineeringteams and with stakeholders in the organization, engineering codes and standards, and a systemsperspective. Notably, early career engineers judged their greatest weaknesses as practicalexperience, project management, knowledge of business processes and engineering codes andstandards.2 Many of these perceptions of weakness point unmistakably to a lack of emphasis ontranslating

A wind tunnel is often used in mechanical or aerospace engineeringprograms as a laboratory instrument to gather experimental data for investigation of fluid flowbehavior. The authors have conducted research to implement a comprehensive design of a smallsize inexpensive wind tunnel for instructional purposes {overall length: 1.8105m, maximumdiameter (contraction nozzle): 0.375m, working section dimensions: 0.25m in length X 0.125min diameter}.

A test was performed that included the video recording ofthe rollover event.

been well established in the literature5-7 that engineering students are typically visual ratherthan verbal learners. Nonetheless, we engineering instructors still rely heavily on the traditionallecture to teach our students. Granted that these lectures are often accompanied by sketches onthe chalkboard or pictures projected onto a screen, but the primary instructional tool is stillverbal in nature. All too often our instructional approach is still “instructor-centered” rather than“student-centered.”Accompanying the dramatic rise in the use of the internet in the past ten years has been thedevelopment and collection of online learning materials.

Figure 2: Bloom's Taxonomy4 Bloom’s Taxonomy was originally theorized by Benjamin Bloom around the 1950s. Thelevels of the model describe a higher level of learning with each ascending level.3 Once all levelsof the taxonomy are completed; the model implies that the student has mastery of the subject.The levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy, in order, are: Knowledge, Comprehension, Application,Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation. Primarily, educators use lower level questions andexamples for assignments and teaching as they are easier to understand and grade. It is tedious tograde higher level questions as they have many more possibilities for correct answers. This maybe problems such as projects, papers, and oral reports that require rubrics for

The series of experiments was followed by threetwo-week projects, which were intended to introduce the practical concept of experimentaldesign to students. Typical laboratory objectives were:(i) Determine the effect of condenser pressure on the coefficient of performance of a vapor compression refrigeration cycle;(ii) Compare/contrast measured mass flow rates and meter coefficients determined by the venturi flow meter with mass flow rates and meter coefficients determined by using an orifice plate as a function of pressure tap location and orifice geometry, and(iii) Use the MTS

compared to other components such as graded homework, projects, etc. Instructorsgenerally note an increase in student enthusiasm and attentiveness when instructors link contentin a lecture or worked example with an upcoming exam. Given all those observations, theauthors hypothesized that it may be possible to increase student participation in assignedhomework by explicitly linking the homework with the exam component of the course.The difficulty with explicit linking of the homework to the course exams is that it leads to aregurgitation of homework solutions on the exams. This is not an effective approach inevaluating the student’s understanding of the principles covered in the class. The trick, then, isto give the students incentive to
