This would help toset the stage by: disseminating relevant information, generating technical debate, and examiningpotential solutions from different perspectives.

This balance with concrete experience is especially needed in “building-block”courses that create the foundation for advanced design courses. If we expect students to performwell with open-ended, project-centered problems, we need to provide a pedagogical basis acrossthe entire undergraduate curriculum. This paper presents such a basis for one importantengineering core topic: mechanics of materials. Active learning concepts applied in mechanicsof materials courses are discussed, including specific examples of hands-on, multimedia, andgroup design exercises.1.

One study reviewed the promotion andteaching of non-technical skills in higher education across five European countries [7]. Theresearchers grouped skills that engineering students need into five categories: Technical,Metacognitive, Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, and Problem solving.

This paper reports on a different method of reinforcement ofmathematical models and failure concepts through the use of Model-Eliciting Activities (MEA).1An MEA is a client driven problem that requires the students to develop a mathematical modelnot explicitly stated in the assignment. The client driven approach can create an environmentwhere the students value abilities beyond using the traditional prescribed models andalgorithms.2 While traditional design projects focus on the product being developed, MEAs focuson the process of problem solving and model development.

the need to increase incorporation of the entrepreneurial mindset in theengineering classroom at every level, not simply within the capstone senior design courses.Due to the relative ease in implementation, a group of lead faculty determined that online classdiscussions (either through an online class or face-to-face class) would provide an ideal startingpoint for incorporating the entrepreneurial mindset. Creating, deploying, and managing an onlinediscussion can be accomplished effectively and efficiently with a relatively minor investment inprep work prior to deploying the online discussion [12-14] with limited classroom disruption.Furthermore, online discussions provide many benefits for both face-to-face classrooms andonline courses [9-11
