Students viewed math as being more important toengineering than chemistry, which reflects the emphasis placed on a strong math foundation tobe successful in studying engineering. Students found math, chemistry and physics morechallenging at the end of the

include discipline-specific elements of arguments, such as weighing and justifyingtrade-offs based on prioritized criteria and constraints, which are features of argumentation inengineering.21 Thus, more discipline-specific instruments are needed to assess students’argumentation in engineering.Some existing instruments can be used to determine the quality of students’ writing inengineering. Most notably, Abts and colleagues developed the Engineering Design ProcessPortfolio Scoring Rubric,22 which includes the following two elements: “evaluation, reflection,and recommendations” and “presenting the project.” These elements might be related toargumentation, in the sense that students are expected to present the project “for the audiencesand purposes

It seems well consistencythat students with higher assessment scores in the six criteria have higher course grades.Some team members with lower performances were mainly due to not the adequatethroughout project development, which was reflected on the quality of requested deliverables,including the final presentation. This means that students are lack of enough knowledge orhave a wealth of disconnected knowledge and do not know how to build relationships amongthem. Students become more confident to face and deal with the laboratory problems aftertraining with the design-based course modules. In addition

flight.Results and Analysis Made by the StudentsThe work objective of the vibration team for this project was to assemble the inner spool of the 3Dprinted jet engine on the GUNT Hamburg machine, balance it, and then study its vibrations fordifferent faulty bearings through envelope analysis. The team had 6 weeks to conduct theexperiment, collect the data and analyze them, after they complete the setup of the jet engine. Thefaulty bearings were taken from the GUNT machine which has five different faulty bearings (B,C, D, E and F while bearing A has no faults). The difference between the bearings is the locationand severity of the faults, which is reflected in the envelope analysis plots for each bearing. TheGUNT software generated the plots for the

It can be observed that 80 percent of the respondents indicated a change inperception, while 20 percent didn’t. Of the two respondents who stated that the IoT sessiondidn’t change their perception of ECE, one was a student who maintained an interest in ECEafter the session. Responses to survey questions #5 and #6 are shown in Figures 1.e and 1.f, and they reflect theimpact of the IoT session on the respondents’ enhanced interest of ECE, and their motivation tostrongly consider it as a choice of engineering discipline.

, Kolb’s experientiallearning cycle [8] is one of the most widely utilized. This methodology has four steps: abstractconceptualization, active experimentation, concrete experience and reflective observation. A keyaspect is to define the activities that complete the learning cycle without burdening the studentsin the process. The inductive learning process has been previously applied to fluid mechanicsand heat transfer [9, 10] with positive results, and it is the approach to be followed in theproposed work.BackgroundThe proposed work focuses on solving the current situation where most of the students inengineering or technology programs have limited exposure to the subject of fluid power.

First, as we explored various inquiry-based experiences for STEM majors, we found thatstudents who had an influential pre-college independent inquiry experience in STEM were morelikely to have an intended major in STEM (84%) than those who had a non-influentialindependent inquiry STEM experience (69%).

Ifso, increasing the flexibility and/or customizability in engineering programs via free electivesand other course choice opportunities might serve as a strategy to attract and keep more womenengineering

Growing enrollments in technical writingcourses were directly related with engineering enrollments—resulting in two important eventsfor TWC: a more clearly defined discipline and disciplinary in-fighting with regard toprogrammatic goals [3]. As new technical writing-related organizations, journals, and academicprograms appeared in the seventies, so too did disagreements about goals and trajectory of thefield, with the older, retiring cohort championing praxis, e.g., [5], and the new cohort valuingwriting as a process for critical reflection, social responsibility, and audience-awareness.Because of the historical
