response to self-reported vulnerabilities and concerns of engineeringstudents. This paper presents data from practical efforts to identify and mitigate anxiety amongengineering students. A group of twenty-seven engineering and engineering technology studentswho were part of a scholarship program was asked to submit journal entries in which theyreflected on their fears and anxieties related to their participation in their degree program.Prominent themes which emerged from student reflection included time management and itseffects on academics and social activities, the likelihood of degree completion and success inengineering-specific coursework (e.g. senior capstone projects), and aspects of life followinggraduation such as handling accumulated

Specifically, itpresents the general design process used by the University of North Dakota Robotic MiningCompetition Team. The paper also contains a discussion of how the team evolved from year toyear based on their successes and failures.IntroductionAs engineers develop more complex systems there is a need for every engineer to have at least abasic understanding of systems engineering. NASA defines systems engineering as “a robustapproach to the design, creation, and operation of systems.”1 This process involves theestablishment of a set of project objectives, creation of a set of design

Engineering Design CurriculumAbstractFunctional modeling is often covered as a critical element of the engineering design process inengineering design texts, but little empirical data clearly demonstrates that functional modelingimproves engineering designs or that teaching functional modeling makes students betterdesigners. The overall objective of this project is to determine the impact of teaching function onengineering students’ design synthesis abilities. Two studies are being performed as a part ofthis project: (1) a longitudinal study following students through their sophomore, junior, andsenior year following some being taught functional modeling, while others not, and (2) a yearlystudy looking at capstone project quality of students from

They are also able to consider the tradeoffs betweenmultiple design solutions.6,9 Further, expert designers identify and consider the relevancy of a topic insolving complex design problems.6 Conversely, novice engineering designers aren’t always aware of theinformation they lack to adequately solve the design problem.6In engineering education, Atman et al has conducted research to examine the design processes utilizedby student engineers.10-12 This research has shown that the engineering
