Just as engineers may build a scalemodel of a bridge to be able to test its properties more easily and then make predictionsconcerning the necessary properties of the full-size bridge, so the mind performs a similarfunction by constructing a mental model that is used to process information and makepredictions. From this foundation, Johnson-Laird went on to construct his theory of cognition.He states: “The theory of mental models is intended to explain the higher processes of

Central to the course delivery is “poking fun” at the disobedience of thelaws of physics and engineering in “sci fi” and teaching the correct behaviors. In this fashion,students can develop lasting mental pictures of the way things function and the complexities ofdesign. This course also discusses the interactions and implications of technology and society, aswell as the ethical considerations of engineering given human nature and the limited naturalresources of the earth.I.

A High Temperature Hardness Testing System for Mechanical Characterization of Engineering Components Ameya A. Chandelkar and Deepak G. Bhat Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of ArkansasAbstractMechanical properties of materials at high temperatures often show a significant departure fromroom-temperature behavior. In the study of materials science, an understanding of mechanicalbehavior as a function of temperature is quite valuable. One of the elegant ways to determinetensile strength of metallic alloys is to measure the material hardness, in which the hardness actsas a “strength microprobe.”1With this aim in mind, we put together a high-temperature

The civil engineer looks to create a structure or space that is safe and efficient. Each professionalneeds to recognize what is important to them as well as their team members.

Failure was always an option because learninghow to deal with failure is valuable, it helps students to recover faster the next time theyencounter a design issue. Encouraging students to build a skill set to diagnose issues was just asimportant as making sure they produce an end product.6 Understanding by Design (UBD) is a process where teachers create an educational unitwith the end goal in mind.7 In this work the end goal was for students to create a gourmetmolecular gastronomy (MG) snack created during a Cook-Off event.

With this in mind, participants whohave been leaders in these groups suggested expanding the scope of the workshops to more thanjust once at the beginning of the term. They would like to have continuous training in this areaand also would like to include all members of their teams.

During game play, hazards will continue tostrike the community and lead to newly damaged components, which is a challenge. Throughoutthe game, each team responds to the challenges by making decisions regarding repairing andretrofitting electric system components all while keeping the previously outlined objectives inmind. With two objectives formulated specifically for equity, teams are forced to maintainequity-minded objectives (i.e., Objs. 2 and 3) along with system performance objectives (i.e.,Objs. 1, 4, and 5) to simulate realistic decision constraints engineers
