Engineering EducationThe different roles assumed by faculty members reflect the type of curriculum used in theengineering classrooms. Some instructors enjoy the authoritarian stance and provide students thetraditional education 38. In the traditional education format students are told what they areexpected to know and concepts are presented deductively 10,16. Other instructors become toolaissez-faire and become a silent member of the classroom or mainly an observer—whereinstruction primarily allows students to grow and learn on their own with little or no extrinsichelp 25.The role of the instructor in the classroom for course development in engineering educationcannot be divorced from the understanding of theories of learning and the effectiveness of

As complex programmable logic devices have become more available and affordable, manyschools are incorporating them into their undergraduate laboratory curriculum.2, 4, 7 In some cases,they are completely replacing the discrete TTL DIP implementations described above.

To train engineers in use of the metaphor, an effective teaching method has beendeveloped. Cage Painting Simulation5 (CPS) was developed to integrate the four steps of cagepainting into an interactive tool that challenges the learner to examine interculturalcommunication preconceptions and misconceptions, with a culturally unidentified syntheticindividual named Simea.

This course alsoimproves the progression of the students’ laboratory experiences. In particular, theprogramming, instrumentation, component, and circuit experiments of their sophomore andfreshmen years are now followed by the system- and design-oriented experiments.

Introduction One of the benefits of ABET EC2000 which will be realized long before most schoolsactually go through the new accreditation procedure is that it forces departments to do a criticalreview of their courses and curricula. In the Mechanical Engineering Department at OhioUniversity we are in the process of an internal review of our curriculum and courses, includingreexamining course objectives and conducting student and faculty assessments of how well thecurrent courses fulfill the learning objectives. The Engineering Mechanics classes (Statics and Dynamics) serve as the gateway into theengineering curriculum, and as such they have a large impact on an engineering student’s
