in these steam engines by JohnSmeaton between 1765 and 1772 increased the engines’ efficiency to around 1.4%, a noteworthyincrease. Even after the more famous, and more efficient, Boulton & Watt engines weredeveloped in the 1770’s, the simpler and very reliable Newcomen engines continued to be builtfor the purpose of pumping water from coal mines up until the 1820’s. Coal mines had a readysupply of unsellable “slack coal” as the fuel which influenced the decision about whichtechnology to use. The last operational Newcomen engine was retired around 1930.1design process overviewThe project followed the methodology set forth in Engineering Design – A Project-BasedApproach, by Dym and Little.4 Figure 3 – A

Students recorded the results of theirdiscussions, addressing questions such as: What was the problem(s)? What should theresearchers have done differently? What can we learn from this example? Do we have a fullunderstanding of what happened? As a follow-up to the ethics material presented in lectures anddiscussion section, students were given an assignment to reflect on the proceedings (AppendixA). Students were encouraged to generate their own points of discussion, but possible points todiscuss included: What do you consider to be some of

engineering programs in recentyears. Since 1990’s, RP has been used in engineering education to enhance design relatedcourses4. It became an essential part of the design and manufacturing curricula, ranging fromfirst-year design and drafting courses to senior-year capstone projects5-9. It has also been used intwo-year engineering program10. RP is considered as one of the “new frontiers” of manufacturingeducation, along with 3D scanning and reverse engineering11. In order to address the emergingdemand of RP technicians on the job market, Patton and Liu12 developed “train the trainers”workshops. In addition to using RP in regular engineering curricula, Strzelect and Vavreck7reported using RP to support broader mission of the campus, including

She also found that extracurricular activities were important inmeeting the BOK2 outcomes, that a student’s role(s) within design teams impacts the perceptionof importance for certain outcomes (e.g. a team project manager is more likely to assign higherimportance to Leadership and Project Management), and “as students gain a better understandingof the attributes desired for civil engineering professionals, they will be better equipped to seekout experiences and courses to develop these skills.”15As ASCE notes, it is the student, the “fledgling engineer,” who is responsible for meeting theappropriate level of achievement for each outcome as he or she prepares for professional

multidisciplinary teams that were used in this course reflected a bimodal academicdemographic since the course contained students from engineering and sciences. In futurecourse offerings, a wider range of academic backgrounds will be sought, including students fromthe arts and business-related studies.

The steps are listedbelow: Determine the goals to be achieved by applying BIM into teaching. Choose method(s) to apply BIM into courses. At this step, it was determined to use several existing courses. Employ different teaching styles. The selection of teaching style depends on various stages of BIM knowledge and applications, the nature of courses, and the teaching expertise of course instructors.
