The restof the students (that is, more than 77% of the students) solved the problem without addressingthe ethical issues. The reason could be that the problem does not reflect an ethical dilemma forthem. However, and although this is beyond the scope of this paper, this should be an indicatorof us (the engineering education community at large) doing not such a great job in conveying theimportance of ethics to engineering students.

Reverse engineering is a process in which the starting point ofa new design starts with an existing design [1]. These tools were incorporated into a designcourse in a Mechanical Engineering program to design and validate a lighter version of abracket.3D Laser scanners are used to obtain the geometry of existing parts determining the position ofa scanned area by sensing the reflection of a laser on a surface taking into account the period ofreturn of the light ray and the angle of impact [2].

temperature data. Short term behavior (0-400s) is believed to incorporate effects from the furnace coming up to operational temperature. Mid-term behavior (400s – 2400s) is considered a transient state where radial and axial conduction effects trade dominance and work to balance out. Long-term behavior (2400s on) attains fairly steady state behavior across all interior regions.  The interior temperature profiles also show identifiable modes. Short-term behavior (0- 300s) is suspected to be due to most of the exhaust heat going to warm up the furnace and interior walls. Mid-term behavior (300-4200s) reflects a transitional state. Long-term behavior (4200s on) attains fairly steady state

ofinductive and deductive learning, with emphasis based on student’s content background andlearning objectives. However for advanced courses, where the learning objectives are not easilyrealized, Kolb’s experiential learning cycle [8] is one of the most widely utilized. Thismethodology has four steps: abstract conceptualization, active experimentation, concreteexperience, and reflective observation. A key aspect of this learning cycle is to define theactivities that complete the learning cycle without burdening the students in the process. Theinductive learning process has been previously applied to fluid mechanics and heat transfer [9,10] with positive results, thus is the approach applied in this work.Current OfferingThe Department of Engineering

Freeman et al.’s meta-analysis of STEM educationstudies found that active learning significantly increased course grades over didactic methodsand was particularly effective in classes of 50 or less students. In contrast, students were 1.5times more likely to fail a course that lacked active learning strategies [1].The spectrum of active learning ranges from simple activities, such as writing minute papers orpausing for reflection, to more complex activities, such as hands-on technology and inquirylearning.

However, this limitation is mitigated by the analysis of course artifacts. • Opinions of faculty are only opinions, they may not reflect the true needs of their students. • The analysis of course artifacts only examined two engineering courses, and is far from comprehensive. • The response rate in the student opinion survey was poor (about10%).
