model, visualization, whole brain thinking.IntroductionIn the 2015 movie “The Martian,” the main movie character (Matt Damon), stranded on the planetMars, spoke about how problem solving enabled him to survive and get rescued [1]. In the movie,the actor stated, “you begin by solving one problem, then the next problem and if you solve enoughproblems you get to go home.” For movie-goers, The Martian movie helped to illustrate theimportance of problem solving. However, for most people in general, the importance of problemsolving goes beyond outer space. For people to be successful in their careers, relationships andlives, they must be effective problem solvers [2]. For students to achieve both personal and careersuccess, they need to develop their

At the end of this workshop, students should be able to:1) Understand the value of seeking, giving, and receiving feedback for themselves, their team, and as a professional;2) Apply communication skills that keep feedback from becoming personal, both as a giver and as a receiver of feedback; and,3) Give feedback that integrates various types of functions, which includes understanding, assessing, and providing recommendations.The workshop has been effectively implemented in multiple offerings of engineering designcourses, both at junior and capstone levels.

The one student who chose‘other’ approached the professor prior to the build group registration for advice on registration.The student at the time of the build group registration was in gender transition, and was unsure ofwhich section to register for. Given the student self-identified as a male at the time ofregistration, the student chose to register for the co-ed section.

Our goal is to better preparestudents to integrate such analysis with the everyday engineering problems they face, outside ofthe classroom. Two possible explanations for failing to apply previously learned analyticaltechniques are: 1. students did not retain the knowledge, and 2. students do not recognize when itis appropriate to apply the “tools” in their analytical “toolbox” [1].The importance of repetition in learning retention is well documented within the literature [2-4]and can be summarized using the forgetting curve [5]. The forgetting curve indicates that tomaximize retention, any key concept must be repeated multiple times over

A survey of typicalundergraduate programs in electrical engineering reveals that while these topics may be coveredin a limited context as part of larger experiments, they are not included in stand-aloneexperiments in spite of the high level of sophistication of the equipment available to the students[1],[2].In this paper, we present three simple modules that can snap into a typical solderless breadboardand allow students to visualize and experiment with fixed current sources, controlled currentsources, and phasor/superposition experiments.Pedagogical

To compare vertical and horizontal axis wind turbines in terms of power produced as a function of wind speed and load on the generator. 4.

This is especially truewhen design projects deal with solving practical and real-world engineering design problems [1].For small undergraduate mechanical engineering programs, such as ours, resources are limited.Therefore, funding the construction of these high cost designs tends to cause problems andhinders the selection of good quality capstone senior design projects.

In an effort to generate abaseline for how we can operationalize intuition in the context of engineering education, thepurpose of our current research was to synthesize characterizations and portrayals of intuitivereasoning. We focused on literature from the field of management because intuition isconsidered in the context of complex, strategic decisions, which are reflective of the designdecisions central to engineering.
