Newintellectual understandings can arise out of the very act of application" (p. 23).This comes as nosurprise to those working at a more applied level.

(Pascarella& Terenzini, 1991), the influences of these experiences among engineering students is as yetlittle understood. The absence of such information presents colleges and schools ofengineering with major problems. Industry and the Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology (ABET) are bringing increasing pressure on engineering schools to producegraduates who are prepared to engage in unstructured problem solving and to work in groups.ABET is also moving to an assessment-based reaccreditation review process, requiringinstitutions to produce evidence that their programs “prepare graduates for the practice ofengineering at a professional level” (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology,1997, p. 41).This paper reports the

Two of the Mechnaical Engineeringfaculty have recently been engaged in modifying a freshman CAD class with these motivationsin mind. They are implementing “Rapid Prototyping” (RP) into the ME 180 Freshman CADclass. This paper will document the work in progress on this effort to date.RP is the process which converts a CAD model into an artifact or product.1 This process hasbeen used increasingly over the past two decades in engineering firms to produce first-articledesigns.

My main thesis is that because the Western world, not to mention much ofthe rest of the world, has become or is becoming postmodern in character, it poses areal challenge for engineering graduates. And because postmodernism is least of allamenable to the traditional Western consciousness, all linearity and problem-solving incharacter, with its reliance on systematic thought, our being able, as educators, toapproach the world in its non-linearity and resistance to rational systems is to provide awholistic

to 1996Union’s engineering curricula were not set up with terms abroad in mind. Since theprograms are relatively small, most required and elective courses in the major are onlyoffered once a year. Therefore, it took very careful planning and advisement to allowstudents to go abroad without seriously jeopardizing their chances of finishing in fouryears. Union also bucks the national trend in that most of our students actually graduatein four years.Students who were successful in juggling their schedules invariably came back from theirforeign study saying it was well worth the effort, and many said that it was a lifechanging experience.

First, as argued above, thinking involves the process ofusing representations to convert sensations into reliableknowledge—representing is knowing. However, once we have createdrepresentations out of the sensations, we able to continue thinking by changingand altering the representations in our mind. We are able to take action in theworld because we can use knowledge to represent the world in a variety ofways—knowing is representing. This proposition applies obviously to engineering.

Some programsinclude a full course in ethics, while others integrate ethical issues throughout their curriculum;but all programs need to create a culture where ethical behavior is prized and unethical behavioris not accepted.

Engineering lab reports provide one opportunity to givestudents feedback on aesthetics. Furthermore, modern word processors have raised the barfor what is considered acceptable.
