complex problems that canbe solved by applying the desired content. Many of the modules that came out of VaNTH’sresearch and curriculum development endeavor3, 7, 12 exemplify this approach. For example,Linsenmeir et al. 11, challenged students to determine “how much food is needed by an astronautper day for a two week space mission in order to satisfy metabolic demands and not gain or loseweight” (p. 213). In this case, students that learned the content in the context of the challengingproblem were better able to apply the concepts to novel situations and more engaged than thosestudents that received more traditional instruction and laboratory activities.

Rarely did practicing engineers recommend more engineering inengineering curricula. Rather, most of the engineers emphasized more instruction on clientinteraction, collaboration, making oral presentations, and writing, as well as the ability todeal with ambiguity and complexity. As two engineers opined: …it is kind of a sore spot with me that educational institutions teach when you do your work there is a right answer and a wrong answer.

inmechanical engineering, the use of computational modeling techniques has become a useful toolto teach engineering educators and introduces new challenges for students. These techniques areenormously beneficial, particularly as it relates to evaluating the efficacy of mechanical designs.The use of data-driven modeling for solid mechanics and materials applications is becomingmore common in mechanical engineering practice [1]. Whether in academia or industry, well-defined computational modeling via numerical simulation has immense value in providing robustphysics-based results for situations that would otherwise require cost- and time-intensivephysical experiments. Further, numerical simulations allow for the implementation of field
