This game-centric approach: (a) deeplyadopts insights from active learning, making students an integral part of the learning process, (b)provides a dynamic, simulation-like context that is well suited to the dynamic nature of software,and (c) is modular and easily adoptable within existing curricular structures.Initial evaluation efforts examine student attitudes and perceptions about the game by using

students in experiencingrational discourse [19]. Experiencing disorienting dilemma in classrooms through ill-structuredquestions and reflective learning strategies is essential for students to enter the transformativelearning process, but creating an environment of trust and support in the classroom is crucial forstudents for completing their transformative learning process.VIII. ConclusionFirst year engineering curriculum aims to ease the academic transition of first year students fromhigh-school to college by making them aware of the limitations of their study habits and learningtechniques. Through transformative learning experiences, students not only become cognizant oftheir limiting habits of mind, but they also become independent thinkers

The academy objectives were to • improve students’ knowledge of emerging technologies, • improve students’ knowledge of careers in the emerging technology fields, • improve students’ knowledge of college in terms of academic demands, • improve students’ knowledge of college in terms of life on campus, and • have fun.The Academy curriculum was based on the emerging technologies

Educators must identify the differences in the shared repertoire of these communities and frame curricular content and activities accordingly.” Wherever possible, curriculum developers and instructors should employ an integrative approach where students can connect their use of professional skills directly to their technical work and the engineering objectives they pursue [5].At this stage, we may clearly observe that when it comes to: a) integration of the professionalcomponent into the design and innovation process as well as b) strong consideration andincorporation of

This could be resolved somewhat by allowing students to use an FEAprogram to verify their predictions. One difficulty with this approach is giving students a falsesense of their ability to use FEA software. In addition, the extra workload introduced for studentsto learn a new software program was deemed unnecessary.A definite advantage of this project is its relationship to other courses in the curriculum. Studentsuse their CAD/CAM skills acquired in their freshman CAD/CAM course and are exposed totensile testing which is more fully covered in their Materials Science Course. In addition,students

Agrawal has correctly pointed out that the integration of the equipment can easilyoverwhelm limited resources of both time and departmental budgets [3]. Bissell has also notedthat some of the canned experiments are so carefully engineered that they become more of anillustration in theory and less of an experience in control system design [6].

Seismic isolators or bearings are a popular means ofprotecting a structure against earthquake forces and have been used for over a century with thegreatest progress made in the past 50 years. It relies on the introduction of an isolator, i.e., ahighly flexible layer between the structure and the ground, increasing its fundamental periodproducing rigid body motion. This design is effective for improving structural integrity. Thenumerous isolators available are categorized as elastomeric or friction isolators. Elastomericisolators are made of a rubber-like material that uses elasticity and plasticity to dissipate energy,while friction isolators use the frictional coefficient of the surface

His approach favors a “hands-on”project format over the previously used lecture format. His classes are divided into teams ofstudents, and each team analyzes an entire product by dissecting it into its component parts.Each student team writes and submits an engineering report that is evaluated. He concludes thatwhile the projects emphasize concepts such as design for assembly, design for manufacturability,concurrent engineering overall product quality, the success of the projects depend on

: So I think in a lot of ways that's…the complexity of the soft [professional] skills. And it's funny when we talk about soft skills. We don't mean that they're lesser than hard [technical] skills. It's that they're less definable.While Dr. James acknowledged the importance of teaching professional skills, he faceddifficulties in integrating these skills into the classroom because of their complexity and lack ofclarity. Due to the perceived challenges of including professional skills in the curriculum, out-of-class activities were offered as an important complement.Faculty members believed that students with experience outside the classroom are betterprepared for their careers through the acquisition of professional skills
