Utilizing a design that enables a variety of linear motion components to be integratedinto the equipment enables the students to develop an appreciation of the differences inperformance attainable. These considerations are invariably involved in down-selecting anappropriate design for a particular application. Utilizing industry components to implementlinear motion profiles provides a context which facilitates comprehension, is of interest to thestudents and

disabilities. Design is an integral part of engineering education at Olin College of Engineering. In Olin College’s largely project-based curriculum, students spend much of their time in design teams. These courses can present barriers for students with disabilities who are entitled to the same access to learning resources, including classroom culture, as their peers. Project-based courses present a wide range of challenges for students with disabilities, including, but not limited to, the ability to fully participate in hands-on learning and as a contributing team member. As larger numbers of students with identified non-visible disabilities enter engineering schools, and engineering schools increasingly adopt project-based design courses, the

processes.B. Curriculum RequirementsThe standard requires a balance between qualitative and quantitative concepts with therequirement of at least one third of the courses being qualitative management related material.Curricular requirements thus focus on the management side of engineering management. Muchof engineering management is conceptually qualitative. Quantitative concepts are required to tiethe discipline to the field of engineering. Thus, there is a requirement for both types of concepts.Hick’s (1999) study found that qualitative concepts were the most likely to be missing. Thisstandard ensures that the program is, in fact, an engineering management program. The centralfocus must be on management in some context, at some level.The remainder

Our findings indicate that, forboth engineering and non-engineering students, lexical-semantic integration of the critical wordin metaphorical sentences is cognitively more effortful than in literal sentences, but easier than insemantically anomalous sentences. Critically, while we did not find differences in how engineers and nonengineersprocessed sentences referring to engineering and nonengineering, we observed an inter–groupdifference in the general pattern of responses to the sentences.

(Fundamental)AbstractThe Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for K-12 science instruction, released in2013, were developed to address lagging student achievement and to improve scientificand technological literacy in the United States educational system. To accomplish thisgoal, the NGSS integrate standards on engineering design and application at an equallevel with standards on scientific literacy.So far, 18 states have formally adopted these standards, and others have begun toreevaluate existing standards in this light. The widespread adoption of the NGSS meansthat many science departments and teachers are now expected to develop and presentinstruction aligned to standards on engineering, a field in which most science teachershave minimal

The SEPs are integral in engineering education because they not only supportteachers and K-12 students to develop an understanding of what scientists and engineers do butalso promote hands-on lessons that include open inquiry, which is the hallmark of scientificresearch.Unfortunately, even as today’s students effortlessly interact with modern technological artifacts,they often lack an understanding of the underlying engineering, technology, and businessprocesses.
