In ResearchLaboratories they seek broader knowledge that can be generalized and systematized, oftenwithout any specific use in mind. They carry on what is called Observational experiments andTesting Experiments. They also go to Development Laboratories to obtain experimental data toguide them in designing and developing a product. The lab is used to answer specific questionsabout nature that must be answered before a design and development process can continue. Inthis case they carry on the so called Application Experiments. They also go to these developmentlaboratories

While IE’s diverse knowledge domainscontribute to its uniqueness, they also highlight the need to effectively integrate material fromthese different domains into a compact curriculum. To succeed, students must learn how tointegrate these different concepts and apply them to the complex problems that they will face inpractice.In response to the challenges facing engineering educators in general, and IE educators inparticular, we are revising the undergraduate IE curriculum at the University of Pittsburgh withfour primary objectives in mind: 1.

Although these results cannot make causal claims,it could also be the case that involvement with EWB-USA alters personality traits due to beingaround like-minded people. More thorough personality research is needed to clarify thesefindings, but the results point to the idea that EWB-USA members may have an expanded visionof who can do engineering based on their departure from the stereotypical engineeringpopulation.These results also showed that the two groups of engineers had equal intrinsic motivations forengineering, which indicates that despite personality differences, students involved with anEWB-like activity held similar interest for the subject of engineering.

The result was astrong push towards providing both intellectual and physical activities (such as dissection) toanchor the knowledge and practice of engineering in the minds of students12-13.Product dissection was successful in achieving this for several reasons. First, it helps coupleengineering principles with significant visual feedback14 and increase awareness of the designprocess15. Product dissection activities spread around the world as a community emerged aroundthe development and propagation of these activities12-13,16-22.

This resulted in an openatmosphere among the students, and made them more willing to explore the overlappinginterests between the College of Design and the College of Engineering. We haveobserved that in professional practice, there is sometimes a tendency for barriers to existbetween any two disciplines, with negative expectations of the aptitudes and motivationsof other disciplines than one’s own taking precedence over actual personal experience.By establishing links between related professions at the university level, the way is pavedfor more effective collaboration in the student’s future careers.Unexpected

EngineClassroom learning often provides students with the initial data required to solve a problem, thusfocusing the students’ attention on theoretical principles, scientific laws, and how physicalphenomenon can be modeled using scientific equations. Laboratory learning, however, presents agreat opportunity to expose young minds to the practical methods used to obtain input data aswell as realistic results. For example with the SR-30 engine, students are exposed to some ofthese methods when attempting to calculate the fuel flow rate, the bulk velocity in and out ofnozzles, and integrated values.Fuel Flow RateThe fuel flow rate in cc/min is given by the equation fuel flow rate = 4.07Pmanifold - .013P2manifold - 3.7where Pmanifold
