require Grand Challenges Scholars to work ininterdisciplinary teams. To foster such collaboration and lay a foundation bridgingengineering and the liberal arts, we developed a linked pair of first-year-seminars addressinga “grand challenge.” Building on the WPI Great Problems model [2], these two First YearSeminars are team taught by a mechanical engineer and a political scientist, each addressingthe problem of global hunger. Students from both sections work together in project teams andparticipate in discussions of course topics and shared readings. The course includes acommunity-based learning component as well as the development of a research &development plan for future engagement.Table 1. The 14 Grand Challenges issued by the National

Past work has shown that incorporating team-based design projects into first-year engineering courses is beneficial since it increases motivation and improves retention [1-3].In this work, a computer simulation is defined as a program that accepts inputs and performscalculations based on a mathematical model of a system with the intent of understanding thebehavior of said system [4-5]. In our freshman-level course, students used SolidWorks three-dimensional (3D) CAD software to simulate kinematic motion, structural integrity, fluid flowand heat transfer processes (conduction and convection). These types of computer simulationsare often introduced in courses taken later in a typical

In our implementation,we allowed student teams to choose from a bank of products and guided them through the fourphases of product archaeology (preparation, excavation, evaluation, and explanation). For theevaluation phase, each team developed and executed three or more qualitative experiments fortheir product. At the conclusion of the project, students wrote a report that addressed the fourphases of product archaeology, including the results of their quantitative experiments.

This problem presents a challenge thatrequires creating spatial layers of water inundation delineating areas that will be under waterin next several decades based on rising sea levels. The land lost because of rising sea levelswould need a correction in terms of datum and land that is sinking over a long period. Thetask becomes even more challenging because it would need a large amount of real-life datafrom relevant government websites.

Course Using Design-Based Teaching ApproachAbstract: Introduction to Manufacturing Processes is one of the core courses in most mechanicalengineering, manufacturing engineering, and industrial engineering programs. The current coursecurriculum and teaching style mainly depend on the lectures for the manufacturing processes thatare aligned and synchronized with the laboratory work (project) to gain the required knowledgeand skills. According to students’ feedback for this course as well as similar courses offered at otheruniversities, the course is time intensive, involves no critical thinking, requires limited classparticipation, and is not well connected with real-world manufacturing problems

(formerly Universidad del Turabo)AbstractTypical design (sizing) projects in a Machine Design course tend to rely on abstractions of themachine; that is, situations in which the student must imagine the system, perhaps with the aid ofa 2D schematic, and conduct the sizing calculations in a completely theoretical and abstractfashion. This skill is certainly a requirement of an experienced machine designer; however,novices may be outmatched when exposed to this level of expertise at an early stage in theirdevelopment. This article suggests that the sizing projects should be based on existingmachinery that is available in the university, and that is accessible for inspection and explorationby students. The sizing results are then compared to the
