Session 3147 Improving Student Problem Solving Skills in the Identification and Correction of Errors Andrew T. Rose University of Pittsburgh at JohnstownAbstractEngineers and engineering technologists are faced with a number of different types of problems inindustry. In addition to finding solutions to traditional problems, one other type of problemencountered is critically reviewing a set of calculations or a design to identify and correct errors.Checking design calculations is typically performed in industry prior to issuing a final design.1The purpose

consistency, as well as on thevalidity of the conclusions. However, we feel that a bigger sample size would be required toincorporate these measures in our analysis. While we bear these limitations in mind, somereflections on the assessment performed are given below.As a group, female students gained more from the concrete experience than their malecounterparts. Here, 64% of them solved the problem correctly compared with only 31% ofmales. This might suggest the physical model is helping these students improve their spatialvisualization skills, which in turn help them become better engineering problem-solvers. Thefact that 9 out of the 11 students missing class had error 1 on exam day is at least curious.These 11 students had an overall attendance of

learning, as the ability to learn new computerapplications is a fundamental skill needed by engineers and researchers. Additionally, the needto provide accreditation evidence for such educational outcomes as communication skills and theability to learn independently further motivates the development of assignments that causestudents to demonstrate these abilities.The course design was, therefore, reconsidered with the following objectives in mind: • To provide "more space" in the course curriculum by reducing the amount of material explicitly discussed in class; • To challenge students to learn both computer tools and advanced applications independently; • To challenge students to express their ideas in writing, both for the

the expresspurpose of encouraging multidisciplinary research. However, we discovered after six months of meetingthat having a group be this broad, while beneficial for many who are highly interested in interdisciplinaryresearch, was not for everyone. Having a group whose purpose was to conduct research projectsspecifically for purposes of integrating disciplines was too vague. Water is a critical issue front of mind formost Texans. It is also a theme that connects many different types of expertise including biology,engineering, technology, data science, agriculture, environmental science, chemistry, policy, economics,communications, education, marketing, and ethics.

. Given a resource of twelve full-time faculty, it is challenging to incorporateother civil engineering specialties such as materials or construction, especially in a manner thatdemonstrates practical application of the subjects.The objective of any engineering capstone design course should be to mesh the technicalknowledge of the discipline with an encompassing engineering problem that incorporates “realworld” issues and challenges. The primary role of a civil engineer is to serve the community; thus,it is essential that students understand the impact of engineering projects on, and the context ofengineering projects within, society. With all of the aforementioned criteria in mind, the objectiveof the structural capstone course described herein

Providing the students with the fundamental power electronics concepts and to prepare themfor advanced study in electrical engineering areas.2.

It offers us another window in topics like stress and strain, and does so in a way that is interesting and very realistic.□ Any chance to relate real life engineering practices to what is being studied in the class is beneficial to everyone. In this case, helicopters fit the bill quite well.□ The theme approach is effective and should definitely be part of the class curriculum.□ Studying helicopters in our course in order to teach us about the different mechanical ele- ments is a great idea.

keeping in mind the global requirements.  Mobility of engineering graduates can be ensured if a uniform curriculum is designed as per the global needs.  A system of switching over to outcome based programmes needs to be developed with the active cooperation of the member countries.7.0 CONCLUSION The engineering education in India is undergoing a major shift in terms of access which can be seen from the growth of the educational institutions over the last five years. This has been made possible due to the liberal policy of the All India Council for Technical Education in granting approval for establishing new institutions and allowing existing institutions to start additional programmes and courses.
