When asked “What aspects of their education helped to nurture their creative problem-solvingskill?”, in truth, they had difficulty identifying anything. In the end, it was our belief that nurturingstudents to be creative problem solvers, capable of creating new ideas and validating their creations withmodels based upon engineering fundamentals was to be the goal of our course. In addition, a larger goalwas that this approach would also be integrated into the courses preceding our capstone modeling course.This realization has prompted us to

Thesecourses are: Engineering Graphics, CAD/CAM, Manufacturing Automation, Simulation, QualityControl, and Manufacturing Design Implementation. These six major courses and some othercourses distributed throughout the curriculum include elements of design that adequately definean integrated design experience for the students in the program. During their senior year,students also may gain additional design experience in their chosen ENGR/MANE electivecourses such as Special Topics

The implications of adopting the scholarshipof teaching and learning as an academic norm also increases the importance of understandingthe impacts this has on the daily life and thinking of higher education staff.Evaluations of educational quality, such as those undertaken by the Swedish Higher Educa-tion Authority, raise the importance of systematic quality assurance and quality enhancementfor university management.

Furthermore, in the meantime, given the demands of amilitary career, it might be difficult for the former students to be able to maintain theircredentialing. This area represents an opportunity for further study.This study concludes that the content and format of the credentialing course needs to change. Itmust spend more time on the foundational concepts of integrating sustainability into design andless on simply obtaining specific credentials. To this end, the instructors added an applicationproject to the course where the students must

However, “not enough STEM graduates means not enough STEM teachers,regardless of incentives [8].” An alternative is to expose students to STEM fields early and induce them tochoose STEM careers. For example, 65% of scientists with advanced degrees developed their scienceinterest before middle school [9]. However, in underserved populations, it is not necessarily lack of theawareness of STEM fields but the socio-economic barriers that prevent

For this paper, the Colosseum simulation project was tested with two different studentbodies: an undergraduate course and a graduate course, both on the history of ancientengineering [15]. The concept behind these two testing sessions was that it was to be used as ahomework assignment and an evaluation of the use of the program and others like it foreducational purposes, as well as integrating it into the course material proper. Because part of thecourse curriculum material focuses on the greenness and sustainability of ancient monumentsand construction processes, the Colosseum and

While students got most of their practice of the modelingtool through homework assignments, to integrate all the knowledge they learned from the class,they were also challenged with a final project. While the homework was an individual effort, theproject required team work. Students were divided into 24 groups with four students in eachgroup. The project assigned to the students involved designing and building a model car using3D printing. Since the model car had to be functional (the evaluation of its performance will bediscussed in the assessment section), additional information about 3D printing and basicconcepts of fluid mechanics (such as flow resistance and drag) and vehicle dynamics (frictionand rolling resistance

Their findings challenge the dominantperceptions of leadership in the literature which are based on “assumptions of coherence,integration, context and direction” (p.13). Instead, the researchers found fragmentation betweenthe manager’s leadership ideas and practice, with noticeable differences between espousedleadership meanings and their actual use in practice [8].

computer science and engineering programs use Python as anintroduction to programing for similar reasons [6,8]. MATLAB was introduced next in the sequence of programming languages. The primary reasonto include it was because of the professional schools’ desire to include it in the tool set of all engineeringstudents. Also, its mathematical capabilities make it an excellent choice for future engineering andscientific modeling. Like Python, MATLAB’s interpretive environment makes it easy to experiment withcoding scripts. The integrated development environment has a similar interface to other programmingenvironments, or analysis tools (e.g. SPICE, ANSYS) students my need to learn for other courses or astools they may use in industry

understandings of ethics and morality, but yet were distinct.Norms/Traits. As with general ethics, honesty and integrity were cited by a number ofinterviewees as important characteristics for an engineer to possess. An example response isgiven by Beverly: “I think honesty is a big one. I think at any field, not just engineering, honesty is the best quality as they say. It's really important, because as engineers you're making all these decisions that impact not just you but thousands and millions of people. You have to make those honest decisions, because they could be the deal breaker or they could be that one thing that makes the bridge collapse or holds it up for a lifetime.”Other specific and general traits that were in
