The goal in writing this paper is to highlight the need for inculcating anappropriate skepticism in engineering undergraduates regarding modeling and simulation results.This is a work in progress. We are still trying to better assess how many engineeringundergraduates are introduced to uncertainty quantification (UQ) as regards physicalexperimentation and computational simulations. We are also seeking best practices forincorporating UQ into undergraduate engineering programs.BackgroundThe latest edition of the ABET criteria [12] includes as a student outcome for all engineeringprograms “an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation

Recently, Baylor Universityhas increased its emphasis on faculty research. With the current curriculum, students are nottruly prepared to support the research initiatives until they graduate. This has prompted a seriesof discussions about shifting the lab experience to the sophomore year. Students would then bebetter prepared for future laboratory and research experiences. A one credit hour fluids/thermolab would occur in the fall of the senior year leaving the spring semester of the senior year totake the capstone design course.

Engage students to do research on an existing engineering case study and present it to the class for discussion. This method helps both in motivating and involving students to learn the subject well as it applies to real-world. It also helps to relate design with current and contemporary issues and how the overall design of a component or a system impacts the society as a whole.

For some projects, the design problems may appear, atfirst, to be too simplistic. But indeed, they are rather well-posed and provide a decent platformfor learning. For the development of soft skills, via formal meetings and informal demonstrationof actual examples of best practices, students appear to be more familiar and aware of issues inproject management and working in teams. Another finding is that, after this restructuring,virtually all groups managed to finish the projects on time.

The primary method of delivery in undergraduateengineering classrooms remains the traditional lecture format, or teacher-centered instruction,despite evidence that active learning, or student-centered teaching practices, are significantlymore effective. Catalyzed by the overwhelming research support for more active learningmethods and the promise for creating these opportunities through alternative course models,there has been a more recent shift towards experimentation in delivery and course structure,including strategies such as flipping course content. Flipped course design allows instructors tomaintain delivery of critical theoretical and background information by

requires reflecting on what has been done[6,7]. To achieve this, students must not only practice a substantial quantity of assignments, they mustreceive feedback and then reflect on the experience. The value of feedback is well accepted. Theauthors of [8] state that prompt feedback is essential for students to improve their models and makesolid modeling more of an engineering design task and less of an art project; while both [2] and [4]contend that without feedback to remedy their models, students develop and perpetuate poor modelingstrategies. In spite of the obvious value, traditionally there is a significant time lag between theintroduction of a concept and the receipt of feedback by the student.
