Other students specifiedan interest in mechanical things, building things, 3D modeling, manufacturing, robotics or beinga visual person. A few had specific career goals in mind, such as working in the theme parkindustry or being an aerodynamics engineer at Tesla. The majority of reasons were vague,implying that either students enter mechanical engineering without a clear understanding of whatmechanical engineers actually do, or students do not know what they want to do and so choose amajor that affords diverse career opportunities.The students were asked what industries they thought mechanical engineers worked in prior totaking this course.

2020 [13 and 14]. The key message gleaned is that engineering education has toadapt to the challenges of the future.  For engineering education to adapt for the challenges of the future, curricular changes are needed –but those must be part of a larger systemic change in the organizational culture of engineeringeducation. Faculty are the critical component in achieving the necessary systemic transformation.Facilitating the development of desired skills, dispositions, and reflective habits of mind within ourstudent populations requires a critical mass of faculty able and eager to embody and enact thesedesired characteristics.

More specifically, if contemporary issues pertain to thediscipline of engineering, students will do little to maintain their knowledge apart from what isdiscussed in the classroom context. In reality, this topic must be more intentionally interjectedinto the curriculum to show application of engineering principles.Two categories of courses come to mind that should adequately support “soft” outcomes. Onesuch course would be a senior capstone design course. Berg and Nasr discuss such a course.1 Itis true that the capstone design course should be the pinnacle of an engineering program, wherestudents are able to integrate all aspects of their education into a challenging project.

students to establishsuch a mental model using solid mechanics concepts is a reasonable approach, which may benefitstudents in their entire engineering career. As shown in Figure 6, fundamental concepts inmechanics can be completely separate in students’ mind before they have a firm understanding oftheir meaning. The M3E approach is expected to help students connect these abstract concepts anddevelop their mental model to represent a network of such complex concepts. A well-developedconcept map, externalization of the mental representation, will show the fundamentalunderstanding of these concepts. Once students have such capability, they can easily adapt it forother engineering applications. The effectiveness of the proposed M3E approach will be

Understanding Fatigue TheoryAbstractIt is well known that more than 90% of metal components in mechanical systems fails due tofatigue. With this in mind, a basic working understanding of fatigue theory is very important tomechanical engineering students. Fatigue theory, however, is only covered with a few lecturesin a typical undergraduate mechanical engineering program’s curriculum. Typical treatmentcould be as few as four lectures during two weeks in our mechanical program at WentworthInstitute of Technology. Because of this, some students were typically confused about fatiguetheory and might not have a basic working understanding of fatigue theory. Students willtypically develop a better understanding of a topic if the same topic is presented to
