(HT) is a required course for students completing the mechanical engineering concentration andis taught annually in the Spring. Students typically take the course during their third-year in theengineering program. In Spring 2024, 30 students were enrolled in HT.In Spring 2009, the instructor began teaching a heat transfer course using a traditional,lecture-based pedagogy. During the following years, the instructor both heard from other facultyand witnessed how electrical engineering students were better prepared to handle the open-endproblems encountered during Senior Design projects. One electrical engineering course inparticular (ENGE 420 Embedded Systems Design, taught by Dr. Gary Spivey) seemed to be themain contributor to student

One drawback of this approach is thatit limits the practice of reading and interpreting views in drawings which can be a secondarylearning outcome in a CAD class as is the case for the capstone example discussed earlier. As illustrated earlier, more complex assignments where students are expected to do more independentthinking on their modeling strategy, capture design intent, and use appropriate best practices are muchmore challenging to automate their assessment. It might even be true that because more complexassignments such as a capstone project are meant to

The Supreme Courtdecided in favor of this position, with the far-reaching effect of barring the faculty at all USprivate higher education institutions from unionizing.It is within this historical context that we analyze NSPE’s use of the codes of ethics to furthertheir anti-union actions and the ideology of business

MSE curricula at upper-level undergraduateand graduate courses, introductory courses are still largely taught with traditional diagrams andformulae approaches, leaving computational thinking, exploration, and modeling for later. Thistraditional approach misses an opportunity to leverage computational modeling as a coreteaching and learning tool when students begin their study of MSE. According to the OpenSyllabus project [11], which has collected over 230,000 engineering syllabi, the most popularintroductory MSE textbook, authored by Callister and Rethwisch [12], is the second mostassigned textbook across all engineering disciplines. This textbook has been through manyeditions, but it was originally written in 1985 and does not include any

Based on the goals of this project, the following two research questions were posed: 1) What are the qualitatively different ways that the conditional and repetition structures found in most programming languages are understood? 2) What are the ways that first-year engineering students understand these concepts?To answer these questions, a phenomenographic approach was chosen. One of the essentialelements when designing a phenomenographic study is the

In robotics, for example, the students showed high satisfaction with theclass, but at the same time, about 50% of them suggested more homework, projects, and morecontent as ways to improve the class. Another example deals with student selection. Moststudents find MACILE excellent as a program, but some suggest that the admission processneeds improvement. They suggest that only “students that want to learn” be admitted, indicatingthat they notice the behavior of their peers. Page 22.108.8In summary, the results are still tentative, but

This situation often occurs whenstudents are assigned design projects, or more importantly when students practice engineering inindustry after graduation. Students are taught, in a series of dynamics courses, how to derive theequation of motion of a dynamic system whose resulting differential equation can be linear ornonlinear. At the same time, students these days are taught such that they are capable of usingthe above mentioned NAS to solve differential equations, even though their usage is mostlyfocused on solving ordinary linear differential systems.
