The use of active voice is intended
a new paradigm for engineering education,one based upon a contemplative pedagogy in conjunction with service learning. The nexus of thetwo paradigms seems to hold great promise in developing the skills in engineering students theNational Academy of Engineering has described. Such a paradigm has been utilized in acombined senior capstone design and engineering ethics sequence.IntroductionMy goal in the present work is to share some teaching tools and resultant impacts on students Ihave recently experienced. I offer them with complete humility in the same spirit of an openingcomment made by the Dalai Lama at a conference on the environment held at MiddleburyCollege in the 1990’s.1 His Holiness began by asserting that he was not very special

resources into one placeand provide a brief overview of why I found each resource to be useful. Unfortunately, whatworked for me will not work for everyone. Therefore, I asked a couple of close friends whocompleted their Ph.D.’s in a similarly short period for some additional resources. However, I amhoping that current and prospective graduate students may find some of these resources helpful totheir success as well.Setting GoalsVagueness and confusion can lead to procrastination and lack of motivation. 1 One way to addclarity is to define clear long-term goals. 1 Covey’s second habit is to “begin with the end inmind.” 2 Both Tracy 1 and Covey 2 emphasize that importance in setting long-term goals to helpmake decisions on what to do in the short

solution process is more important than the finalproduct.”Barrows4, doing research in the medical education field in the 1980’s, stated that problem-basedlearning can have many different meanings, depending on the skills of the teacher and theeducational learning objectives being pursued. In the medical field, existing cases taken from themedical research literature are an important part of the educational process. Barrows saw that ataxonomy was needed to help differentiate the many types of case-based learning processespossible. The taxonomy ranges from cases explained mostly via lecture, through looking at acase from beginning to end, applying lessons learned, and starting back at the beginning of thecase again, to see is a different approach to

program, Leading Oneself. In defining“leader”, student responses shifted from simplistic definitions that viewed leaders asauthoritarian figures with the responsibility for command and controlling others to morecomplex definitions that view leaders as those who have a positive and authentic relationshipwith and responsibility to those s/he is leading. There is a shift from a focus on the leader to afocus on the relationship the leader has with others. In defining “leadership”, once again thestudent responses shift from simple to more complex definitions. They started with a focus onthe leader him or herself, and moved to an understanding of leadership as a process that must bemarked by positive interactions and relationships with others. These
introductorylevel design classes, including 2.007’s main curriculum. Outside of a very limited set of provided raw materials, students had to source all of their own parts, with the instructors acting only as advisors. Example purchased parts included wheels, the main drive motor, motor control unit, throttle and brake pedals, power transmission parts, and power switches. In this manner, the lab section introduced them to the complexities of choosing parts, reading specification sheets, and making design choices that related to how easy or hard it was to acquire specific sized parts. The “makeorbuy” tradeoff also focused the students on deciding which parts were critical to their design and

He was an engineer with theRenault car company and set out in the early 1960’s to develop a curve formulation, whichwould lend itself to shape design [1]. The motivations and the passage of the invention isgiven in a letter written by Dr Bezier to Christophe Rabut which has been published by Rabut[2]. Text books [3 4] describe the theory in detail.
