This educational project is used as a framework for re-designing the learningenvironment for under- and graduate engineering careers offered at the ITESM, such asMechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering and Electrical and ElectronicEngineering. The framework fits within a current major trend in engineering education,seeking to develop specific skills for newly graduates entering the job market. Thanks tothis new educative system, students will be immersed into a fertile environment forinnovation, therefore having an edge when seeking their first job.

Therefore, allowing students to participate in challenging design projects outsideof any official coursework can greatly improve their educational experience. This can proveto be a difficult proposition, as student experiences and interests vary. In addition, thepriorities of the students will change throughout their educational careers, often making itdifficult to retain students during multi-year projects. In order to attract and retain studentparticipants, projects must be both scalable in difficultly and complexity and offer a varietyof engineering challenges.One project that fulfills these criteria is ARLISS

Actually one of the biggest current challenges is energy- itssources and conservation, which feeds into any kind of sustainable design. Lack of thermalprojects in capstone courses also may prevent interested students from making thermalsciences their focal area and future career. The relatively low number of thermal scienceprojects in capstone courses may be due to the fact that the instructors assigned to teachthese courses are specialists in other areas of mechanical engineering.This paper explores these issues through surveying capstone projects in a number ofuniversities. It probes capstone-teaching faculty and reflects on their attitudes towardthermal-science projects

Since the mid-20th century, the traditional view of writing as a mode ofcommunication, has evolved. Guided by psycholinguistic research, the current, expanded view isthat writing is a mode of communication and learning. Writing is now recognized as an abilitythat students continue to develop throughout their academic education and later careers as theyengage with increasingly complex

In a study of tenure and merit pay, Kasten reports that "teaching is secondin importance to research" and that "adequate teaching is a necessary but not sufficient conditionfor tenure."1 Teaching is a key job requirement and indeed many faculty report that thisinteraction with students is one of the reasons they chose an academic career.
