, the capstone experience reported on in this article,has served as a microcosm of the four year curriculum, and at the same time, provided insightsinto future curricular changes necessary to improve design education of the students. Page 15.999.14The teaching partnership between academics and practitioners has resulted in a totally newexperience for the students. Senior students, working in teams, have produced engineeredsolutions to real design problems, with an understanding of the socioeconomic, environmentaland political implication of their work. As a consequence, students have gained good insightsinto the “nuts and bolts” of design in

Additionally, educators and mentors should assess students' skills, prior knowledge,and experiences and use that information to tailor their teaching strategies to individual needs.The strengths students display such as resilience and persistence are often expected personalattributes, however, as [14] would contend, they are attributes that educators need to help buildup and support.Educators that learn about their student’s strengths have an opportunity to encourage deeperlearning, heightened levels of self-efficacy, and persistence in engineering programs that lead tothe

“concepts of sustainable development” be an integral component of all engineering curricula. This isstronger than the ABET requirement which only requires that sustainability be considered as a possible design constraint. With respectto standards, Criterion 2.2.3 notes that constraints that affect design may be “governed by standards or legislation to varying degreesdepending on the discipline.” This is more explicit than the comparable ABET requirement in Criterion 4.In the Canadian questionnaire for evaluation of programs guidance Section 2A.10, programs must describe how factors such as codesand standards and the value and impact of standardization are included in the engineering design experience [6]. Further, programsmust indicate how the

In order to meet this challenge, the VCUMechanical Engineering Department has begun development of an NSF-sponsored “ExperientialEngineering Library” that will provide an easily accessible environment for hands-on learningexperiences beyond the traditional Mechanical Engineering curriculum. The library will fostercritical thinking by encouraging students to apply fundamental mechanical engineeringprinciples to interdisciplinary research in emerging fields such as microelectromechanicalsystems (MEMS), bioengineering, and nanotechnology. The present article describes the libraryconcept, elaborates on its contents, and describes its impact on student interest and performancein a pilot course

Funded by the AlumniAssociation from the John and Erna Hewitt Endowment, the center supports writers at all classlevels and abilities. The Hewitt fund also supports an annual competition that requires allstudents to write substantial researched arguments during each of their four years. During theirthird-year, students write a paper as part of a required class in their major.In 2003 USCGA hired a full-time director and moved the center from the Department ofHumanities to the Department of Academic Resources to support WAC more effectively.

In the follow-on advanced thermodynamics course, mechanicalengineering students learn more about the Brayton cycle and what modifications would improvethe cycle efficiency.
