Engineering Design Graphics

Information Graphics and Engineering DesignAbstractDocumentation for engineering design requires succinct project descriptions, often withinformation and data visualizations. In an effort to expose students to these types ofvisualizations students were asked to summarize each individual chapter of a technology-basedbook of their choice using a different visualization method. This exercise exposed students to awide range of methods and gave them tools for future engineering project document design. ThePeriodic Table of Visualization Methods1 website was used as a starting point for the types ofvisualizations students could explore. This site is an e-learning site focusing on visual literacy:the ability to evaluate, apply, or create conceptual visual

other words,there is no “one correct solution.” Engineering design can be a very engaging pedagogicalstrategy, particularly with adolescents, because people can bring their values to their designsolution. Optimal solutions are also not stagnant and unchanging. For example, even if asolution were optimum at one moment in time for the specifications and constraints that wereimposed, new technologies, new opinions, and new perspectives might lead to redefined ordifferent solutions. This is a very empowering and unique feature of engineering that is insignificant contrast to scientific and mathematical understandings where hypotheses andtheorems may be refined but generally remain unalterable.

They didn’t necessarily want to limit theirchild’s learning to engineering concepts. “I wouldn't say [I've exposed him] engineering directly, but more via science and technology.” “I wasn't trying to

, there is a growing body of research on undergraduate mentoring. However,few studies explore faculty mentoring processes in academic settings and none describe howfaculty mentoring networks are enacted in ways that advantage and disadvantage particulargroup members such as women in engineering.44 Our research expands the current literature by studying not only women faculty members’mentoring relationships but also women engineers’ developmental mentoring networkconfigurations. Furthermore, we explore an underresearched mentoring process known asepisodic or spontaneous mentoring and mentoring moments.1 As such, we contribute to much-needed empirical research on women in STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and

Finally, male students held a higher self-belief inindependence of learning compared with female students.IntroductionIt is widely accepted that one goal of higher education is to instill in students the need for and thepractice of lifelong learning. All major stakeholders of higher education – graduates, employers,faculty and accrediting agencies – agree that this outcome is critically important given the rapidpace of change of society, especially in engineering and technology. Our graduates must adaptto this change to remain productive contributors. Indeed, it can be argued that much – or evenmost – of what an engineering graduate needs to
