two subjects.In educating engineers for the 21st century, it is becoming increasingly clear that the seamlessintegration of curriculum is more important than the delineation of differences in the subjectmatter. With this in mind, it has become evident that statics and strength of materials areprobably two excellent candidates for integration in the undergraduate curriculum. The similarityin their subject matter and their consecutive scheduling in many undergraduate programssubstantially reduces the effort involved in integrating them. Furthermore, by integrating the twosubjects it becomes possible to add meaningful design projects into the curriculum.Some textbook authors have attempted to integrate the courses by simply abridging and

Speaking ofcosts, one response to the position paper asked 11: Page 4.450.5 And who is going to pay for that fifth year? There are only two choices, the student and the taxpayer. How many bright students will choose another major because of the cost of a 5-year program? Is this additional financial burden on our public colleges and universities justified? For those engineering students whose career paths are firmly fixed in their minds, advanced

S. population is like me (and Ican’t quote an exact source for this number either – I got it from learning psychologist FredKeller7 in a conversation with him). I don’t receive vocal information as efficiently as I do whenI read about something – I can always read text over again, but it isn’t usually possible to“replay” a lecture or a conversation. So my learning skills don’t match the lower levels of Dale’sCone.

Therefore, it is necessary to consider other possible sources forthe rise in student involvement in the field of engineering education.In parallel with the development of engineering education and STEM education degreeprograms, the engineering education community has been exposed to an emergence of student-focused activities within ASEE. These activities range from the growth of ASEE studentchapters to the development of the ASEE Student Constituent Committee.ASEE student chapters originated in 1993 when graduate students and faculty from PurdueUniversity established the first chapter with the following objectives in mind: - to mentor graduate students interested in engineering

Studentspreviously misunderstood that yield was “more important” and did not recognize that there areother failure modes that must be checked for in design. An instructor-developed concept mapwas used to help students see that, despite the large number of lectures required to fullyunderstand yield as a mode of failure, it was equally important as the other failure modes.

In a recent study, inspired by signals and systems theory, the engineering student learningwas linked to the assessment process that he/she undertakes during his/her studies. Modeled by aso-called “ideal sampler”, the assessment process is perceived as a system that takes a “snapshotof the student’s mind” on a regular basis, reconstructs the (continuous) “knowledge signal”acquired by the student and compares it to a “desired knowledge signal”.
