Having aconcrete case in mind will encourage students to focus their solutions, thereby increasing thechances that their concepts survive beyond

] suggests that to master the SMC course content, besides physics and mathematicalskills, students need to have a strong spatial ability to retrieve and interpret spatial informationfrom engineering structures and produce efficient spatial reasoning for solving problems. Spatialability is the cognitive capability that helps people to apprehend, maintain, and manipulate 3Dobjects in their mind and is considered as a set of several spatial ability factors [2, 3, 4].References [2, 4, 5, 6] cite spatial visualization, mental rotation, spatial orientation, spatialperception, and cross-sectioning abilities among spatial ability factors. Some of the references inthe literature [4, 7, 8] consider spatial ability as a narrowed concept of spatial thinking

Page 6.405.1(DFM). DFM is the practice of designing products with manufacturing in mind so that they canbe designed in the least time with the least cost. Also, DFM allows a smoother transition fromthe design of a product into its production as well as minimizing the cost of assembling andtesting the product. Quality and reliability are also affected by DFM in a positive way, andtherefore the needs and satisfaction of the customers are met and the product automaticallybecomes more competitive in the market 4, 6.II.

toappreciate engineering design that is mindful of the resources and energy used to developproducts and systems.While we cannot be certain of the exact content presented to students throughout the semester,the heavy emphasis on traditional environmental engineering goals could be the result of directinstruction in this area, both in the engineering courses and perhaps in their required chemistryand physics classes. Or, it could simply be that students do not think about sustainability beyondresources, energy, and the environment at a basic level, as opposed to a systems level.Sophomore students might lack the intellectual maturity to think about sustainability andsustainable design from a systems approach. Regardless, the very fact that students have

with three basic goals in mind. First, this coursesequence was seen as the opportunity to establish and develop those activities known to deepenthe learning experience for the students. Second, the course sequence was established to provideeach student with a significant, professional level, engineering experience. Finally the sequencewas viewed as a good tool for assessing student development and the effectiveness of the entiremechanical engineering curriculum at Ohio University. This assessment is based upon frequentstudent evaluations of their readiness to handle specific tasks, including both the requisiteknowledge and skill and the assessment of these same attributes by industrial referees.II.

. The most current engineering studies focusprimarily on team formation [McIntosh, 1989; Rosser, 1997] and not on training. This isconsistent with our own interview data suggesting that engineering faculty havedeveloped ad-hoc procedures to form teams but have not adopted formal trainingpractices or protocols as they attempt to teach students how to work well in teams [Meadet al. 1999]. In response to this gap between skills and training, BESTEAMS hasdeveloped training workshops for students and faculty. This paper discusses the purposeand objectives, and some preliminary results of the student workshop.The student workshop has been designed with two important objectives in mind. First,the workshop provides a guideline, or working model, from

Theopportunity is due to the fact that such a course can be used to shape young minds to appreciatethe need for sustainable infrastructure facilities. The challenge arises from the fact that many ofthe non-engineering students that take such a course have limited technical background thatmakes it difficult to teach intricate engineering principles. Thus, it is imperative to approach thesubject matter in a balanced manner that will simultaneously win the engineers and not turn offthe non-engineers. This is no easy task but is achievable with proper preparation and theextensive use of real-world examples that illustrate the points being made. Official courseevaluation
