. Further, this form of community-engaged learningoffers an authentic setting to develop many of the integrated student outcomes stated in the newengineering accreditation criteria. We contend that effective transdisciplinary learning is a meansto the oft-stated goal of systemic transformation in engineering education, particularly forsustainability aims. However, this complex, dynamic systems view of engineeringeducation represents a radical departure from education-as-usual and thus requires a similarlyradical departure from research- and assessment- -as-usual. It reflects a shift in the unit ofanalysis: from a singular focus on student learning outcomes to a broader view that captureslearning at the transdisciplinary system level. It also

Similarly, therole of play in children’s understanding of mathematical and spatial relationships has also beenwell established within the field of child development and early childhood education [1]. Muchof the literature discusses children’s development of domain independent abilities such aslanguage, social development, motor skills, and noticing of novelty. Several studies focus onlearners’ development of privileged domain knowledge that requires simultaneous processingand integration of multiple concepts and the abstraction of ideas (e.g. physics, engineering,mathematics).While the term play is used to signify young children’s spontaneous

The curriculum aims to cultivate students'proficiency in 3D spatial thinking through a semester-long project focused on constructingminiature worlds within lockers. Through this project-based approach, students engage inhands-on learning, applying CAD techniques while fostering collaboration and creativity. The curriculum design integrates Project

: . . . The integral statement necessary for formulation in terms of finite element approximation was supplied via the principle of virtual work, which was assumed to be so basic as not to merit proof. . . . We shall therefore show in this section that the virtual work statement is simply a ‘weak form’ of the equilibrium equations.The description of the problem in terms of a weak formulation (or variational formu-lation) means that the problem has been reformulated as a related problem that admitssolutions that satisfy weaker smoothness conditions (and that will lead to a practical nu-merical solution method). Instead of solving an original boundary-value formulation of theproblem, the problem is solved in the sense of “weighted

Many studieshave noted the disconnect in engineering curriculum between the assessment of customer needsas dictated by the marketplace and the engineering of products. In product design anddevelopment engineers are often quick to offer solutions without fully exploring the actual needand market for those solutions.

For example, students should be able to design feedbackcontrol in power electronics and electric drive systems.Compared to a traditional course, presenting twice as many topics with twice the in-depthknowledge is a challenge that was met by following the steps listed below: • Avoiding legacy topics that waste valuable time and provide misleading impression that they may still be applicable.
