Rhino. To lower operatingcosts, and to streamline the use of one software throughout the curriculum a survey wasdeveloped to see what software was being most widely used in industry. The result showed thatSolidWorks was most widely used and was gaining popularity in the markets of our constituents.The decision was quickly made to utilize SolidWorks throughout the curriculum for design andanalysis. This change prompted the university to purchase a larger license agreement which alsoallowed unlimited certification exam vouchers for students and faculty.In 2011, after becoming more confident in the ability of the students’ use of SolidWorks, the firstcertification exams were given. The Certified SolidWorks Associate exam was given as the finalexam

This skill represents the ability to identify and fixa problem within an engineered system by strategizing the approach within a time-constrainedsetting. To address this weakness, our group of five Engineering faculty members formed alearning community to devise an initiative to better prepare students for troubleshooting tasks. Itis expected that this should help them not only achieve greater success in their senior designproject, but also better prepare them for the workforce. While several recent studies helpilluminate what types of short-term (within 1 course) interventions may be successful inimproving students

If a lesson does not go well, the time spent on it cannot beregained. Therefore, integrating technology involves an investment of time learning how to do soand comes with the risk that it may not go well; perhaps to the detriment of students in the formof ineffective instruction. These time-related complexities were explained by T13: “I think it's difficult to get that practice with these sorts of things… throughout the school day.

According to Niess and Gailow-Wiles, thecontent development for online instruction should include collaborative activities, reflectiveactivities, clear assessment criteria, and integration of technology [7]. However, manyinstructors struggle due to a lack of training to adjust materials between the two deliverymethods [4]. For example, just adding a lengthy lecture and a textbook to a learning platformdoes not work well in an online or remote environment. Many institutions do not recognize theneed for this training or provide incentives to properly develop a class for a new delivery method[8].The last major theme related to online delivery is related to

Students often find thereality of engineering design overwhelming the first time they experience it. They beginundergraduate engineering programs learning science and math through formats steepedin a learning culture that is linear and process-oriented to identify the single answers tocarefully constructed problems. Consequently, students demonstrate significantdiscomfort or reticence when thrust into situations in which they are expected to embracea nonlinear, circuitous process to solve an ill-defined problem.

Often semester courses are planned to meet demand from the study regulation and will at the same time support the problem solving process the students have chosen for their project. It is crucial that the problem serves as the basis for the learning process because it will determines the direction of the learning process as well as a problem places emphasis on a question rather than an answer.
