. Students were asked about their motivation to learn course content for eachmodeling platform as well as their confidence in their ability to utilize each software package tosimulate real-world mechanical systems. Survey data was analyzed via SAS 94 English (SASInstitute, Cary, NC, USA) for statistical significance. Modeling Dynamics terminates each semester with a significant group term project. Open-ended instructions encourage teams to develop a research question about a real-world dynamicalsystem that can be investigated using the simulation tools taught in the course. Students oftenselect to use their simulation term project to supplement Capstone Design or graduate researchtopics, which typically requires students to learn and implement

The social, behavioral and cognitive theoriesthat underpin cooperative learning support students to share their motivation and work towards acommon goal, and structure new knowledge by linking to existing knowledge. Another exampleis project-based learning, defined as self-directed and collaborative work to apply knowledge to alegitimate problem [12]. Problem based learning is commonly used as the model in capstonedesign courses for engineering majors, where students apply their previously gained knowledgeto a final year project [13], and work in small groups to solve a problem in a self-directedmanner [14].2.2 – Models of expertise sharingDistributed expertise within an educational setting, with its roots in Lave’s situated

Educational scholarship isuseful for advancing conversations related to specific activities and/or relationships amongactivities. In our work, we have been focused on advancing conversations related to the use ofstudent reflection in engineering education.Reflection can be understood as a form of thinking that involves stepping out, thinking about,and connecting forward. Defined in this way, reflection can be seen as distinct from otheractivities mentioned above and also a very broad category of possible activity. In prior work

Therefore, an alternative mode of integration, ethics across the curriculum (EAC), is beingadopted at several US universities, (e.g., University of Texas at Austin [19], The University ofMichigan [20] and Illinois Institute of Technology [21]). In the EAC approach, ethics is introduced to students in various technical courses duringfour-year undergraduate studies. During the second and third years, ethics are being discussed inconnection with the subject matter of technical course, and ethics discussion continues into acapstone design project in the senior year by considering the societal implications of a designproject[14], [22].

It is rare that a student runs a program without needing to troubleshoot a problem. For example, a heavy initial cut during a facing operation would indicate an incorrectly set tool length or work offset. Many of these problems can be identified and troubleshooted during the execution of the program. Others that are not immediately apparent manifest themselves in dimensional and surface finish variations in the final part.
