collaboration.Broader or More Specific KnowledgeWith the shift from a "planned economy" to a market economy, more graduating studentengineers in China will not be guaranteed a job and assigned to a post. Chinese engineeringschools need to offer more broad based programs to produce more versatile engineers because ofthe jobs available are more varied. Faculty members trained in Russia in late 40’s and throughout 50’s are now retired and replaced by faculty trained in the western world, especially theUnited States. It seems changes in Chinese engineering schools can be done most easily bysimply copying from the best undergraduate curriculum offered in the US. However, aftercareful examination of the current practices in a few US and Chinese engineering schools
Using BME to Teach High School Fluid Dynamics Stacy S. Klein1, 2, 3,4, Robert D. Sherwood, 41 Department of Biomedical Engineering, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN / 2UniversitySchool, Nashville, TN / 3Department of Radiology and Radiological Sciences, VanderbiltUniversity, Nashville, TN / 4Department of Teaching and Learning, Vanderbilt University,Nashville, TNAbstractIn the VaNTH ERC, high school curriculum modules based in biomedical engineering (BME)have been developed. As part of this work a module on Hemodynamics has been developedbased upon design principles growing out of cognitive science research. Accompanied by afigure and an audio file, the module begins with a grand challenge

Using Western Kentucky University SWE Members in the Recruitment of Middle School Girls Stacy S. Wilson, Elizabeth L. Shoenfelt Western Kentucky UniversityAbstract For the past three years, the Ogden College of Science and Engineering has hosted a Girlsin Science Day. This program is a day long event in which middle school girls are invited oncampus to participate in a variety of hands-on engineering and science activities. Typically, theclasses are taught by WKU faculty using WKU students as assistants. This past year the WKUSWE members taught two different engineering classes for the middle school students. Thispaper will describe the

Session 2478 Courseware for Problem Solving in Mechanics of Materials Paul S. Steif Carnegie Mellon UniversityIntroductionBasic courses such as mechanics of materials focus on principles and methods which studentscan apply to a variety of new situations. This ability to transfer learning and knowledge isdependent on many factors, including the depth of the initial learning 1. Many factors affect thedepth of initial learning, such as, learning for understanding rather than memorizing facts 2, timeon task 3, and having deliberate practice with ample
training, it can be a challenging and rewarding experience. Goodinstructional design results in clearer instruction and, hopefully, a better learning experience forthe student, which should be our ultimate goal.Bibliography1 Bloom, B. S., Englehart, M.

In this study, we bring attention to the literature that has quantitively assessed a student’srecognition through two primary questions. These studies have made significant contributions tothe field but have focused mainly on the aspect of being seen (recognized) as an engineer and havemeasured this concept through a student’s self-reflection and through their recognition of howmuch the people in their lives see them as an engineer: • “Parents/Relatives/friends see you as a physics person” and “Science teacher see[s] you as a physics person.” (Hazari et al., 2010

When reflection andthe articulation of future actions follow feedback from peers and enrolled students, undergraduateeducators gain an enhanced understanding of their strengths and challenges and greater ownership andmotivation to improve their educational practices. In summary, we show that feedback, reflection, andgoal setting can guide undergraduate leaders to inclusive, student-centered practices

The onesthat we have developed are primarily designed for industrial engineering students, as well as stu-dents in engineering statistics and economics courses. These have been described in detail intwo papers presented at last year‟s ASEE meeting [2, 3]. We have used MEAs in the classroomfor three broad purposes [4]. These are: Integrate

that, for no one s particular fault, the project $dead ended# prematurely or becameundesirably redirected. It must be kept in mind that the overall objective is to maximize studentdesign experience. That is usually accomplished by the completion of more, rather than fewer,projects.* Is the proposed project really a design project? Perhaps the company is just looking for somespecific analysis? It is tempting for a company to suggest a design project when, in fact, what theywant are specific answers to some analysis problem. In these cases the students just do what they retold and do not benefit from experiencing the design process.* Is there opportunity for student management of the project? The student teams must beallowed to
