module quizzes and student opinion surveysand the results indicate that there is an increase in student performance and student satisfactionafter having completed the learning modules.Introduction The finite element (FE) method is a widely used tool in industry for analyzing engineering problems. The most basic FE theory and applications are offered primarily as a graduate- level course, or in some cases, as an upper-level elective for undergraduate students. Therefore, the majority of engineering programs do not require coverage of FE theory and application as a component of their undergraduate curriculum. Industry is placing an increased emphasis on the ability to apply this powerful computational tool; so it follows that

IntroductionNowadays, laboratories that work with hands-on experiments are among the core componentsof engineering studies. Hands-on experiments help efficiently digest theoretical concepts andtrain students to rely on the facts according to physical evidence. On the other hand, highequipment cost and the lack of the necessary maintenance and assistance have led to reducedimportance of hand-on laboratories on the curriculum. Software simulators, based onmathematical models, can be an alternative method to replace the traditional hands-onlaboratories; however, the valuable

In order to employ metacognitive strategies in theclassroom, teachers must implement the following strategies into their curriculum: (1) furtheringgeneral awareness of the significance of metacognition, (2) enhancing knowledge of cognition,(3) enhancing control of cognition, and (4) encouraging environments that advancemetacognitive awareness. Activities and assignments should be designed in such a way that thestudents are actively thinking and engaging the concepts and principles of the course.

Negative tweets are overwhelmingly more numerous than positive tweets. Thisindicates an imbalance between academic life and social life among engineering students. A poordesign of curriculum is also revealed. For example, many students complain that sociology andhistory classes are useless to engineering majors, and chemistry class is useless to computerengineering majors. These classes need to be better designed and tuned to the needs ofengineering students.As stated in a previous APS study11, if engineering education

In this research, a comparative study isdone between students learning and understanding when some basic aerospace concepts aretaught in a traditional lecture based classroom versus when students are told to look for the samematerial on the internet. The results indicate that, although all the material taught in theclassroom is available on the internet, students do not perform better when they

However, a possible downfall of these techniques is that they can become timeconsuming and if not integrated properly can become the focus of a course taking away fromlearning the fundamentals.Engineering educators can “fit a project in” on a micro level by the addition of new techniquesperiodically in class. On the macro level, the question is how one can create a complete overhaulof a particular curriculum while maintaining the integrity of the content.
