engineering from day one of their studies. They have a solidbackground in design, data analysis, report writing, teamwork, the appropriate use of softwarepackages (EXCEL, MathCAD) and problem solving. They also have been exposed tofundamental engineering principles in the settings of statics, circuits and thermodynamics.Salient features of the integrated curriculum are the reliance on active/cooperative learning andthe emphasis of connections across disciplinary boundaries. A formal reflection of the emphasison cross-disciplinary work is the fact that the co-requisite engineering and mathematics classesare considered a “block”. Students that are in the same section of the mathematics class are alsoin the same section of the co-requisite engineering

SE.Every viable, mission-oriented, business entity – e.g., services organizations, non-profits, et al –serves a purpose, has interfaces with external systems in its operating environment – e.g.,customers, suppliers, competitors, et al, and produces performance-based outcomes – e.g.systems, products, services, and behaviors – that are delivered to or sold in the marketplace forsome form of return on investment (ROI) or to provide service benefits. This view is reflective ofthe mindset that SE applies only to physical systems and products such as cell phones,computers, etc. without recognition that organizations are also systems that produce products andservices for both external and internal customers and users.To illustrate the two organizational

goals of the IPEC program is for the students to have a stronger comprehension ofmath, physics, and basic engineering concepts. Inasmuch as the program is designed for mutualreinforcement of the concepts being taught in these different domains, the goal was to increasestudent understanding within the various domains which might be reflected in grades. Significantvariation between the groups (F = 8.7947, p = .0002) was found when examining the cumulativeGPAs as of the end of the freshman year. The mean cumulative GPAs were 2.76, 3.07, and 2.20for the comparison group, the persisting IPEC students, and the switching IPEC studentsrespectively. These results suggest several things. One is that the students who left IPEC earlycontinued to experience

Our findings suggest that including an individual portion in lab group assignmentspositively impacts students. The average scores for the individual contribution portion of the labreports were 92%. The approach was shown to increase accountability among individual membersof the lab groups, as students who self-identified as “waiting to the last minute” were shown tosubmit individual portions on time (75%). Furthermore, the early submission requirementencouraged effective time management across all students, exemplified by the on-time submissionrate of 94% on individual portions, thereby diminishing the

. Lessons Learned In preparing the tutorial, I reflected on the way I taught engineering economic analysis and acknowledged some significant changes needed to be made. Specifically, I realized the FE exam has been an excuse for not changing the content in EngEcon and how I taught it. I also concluded the content of my co-authored textbooks has been limited, based on my belief few who teach undergraduate students are willing to deviate significantly from how the course was taught when they took it as undergraduate students. As a result of my reflections, my future teaching (and book revisions) will address explicitly the four take-away messages cited in the summary and conclusions section of the tutorial: 1. All real-options analyses incorporate

Retention has been significantly improved wherelearning communities have been formed. Higher academic achievement has also beenreported as a result of forming academic learning communities. In addition to thetraditional measure of GPA, student academic gains have been found in such areas asstudents’ ability to relate new ideas to prior knowledge, to

The results surroundingLetter A leads the authors to hypothesize about the difficulty of Letter A and will be addressed infuture work, since all students used butt joints as opposed to a tab and slot design.

Immediately after theinterviews, researchers created memos as a space for reflection and initial data analysis. Theresearch team completed two rounds of coding and refining the interview data [6]. During thefirst round of analysis, the first and second author individually coded each interview. The secondround of analysis consisted of the first and second author comparing and consolidating theircodes, which led to the creation of nine themes (Table 1).

Often this mindset can be possessed by perceiving the research has novelty andinnovativeness. These are well reflected in the following statement by Shiva in the context ofproblem definition: “Therefore, I think that one of the first beliefs is that your research does matter. Maybe you might not have immediate success or immediate number of citations from that research or immediate results from that paper itself, but if you have a strong conviction that there is a research contribution here, that there is science in what you have done rather than just engineering, at that point, that kind of

The device will be testedusing a speaker projecting sound waves in the frequency range of 600-2500Hz, which is a typicalrange for road traffic noise [12]. A small hole was left at the 240mm point of the resonator tubeto allow for the mounting of a piezoelectric cantilever beam for testing.Next, the piezoelectric beam was prepared and inserted into the device. This process began byfinding a small, very thin piece of metal to support the beam to ensure it did not break duringtesting due to the fragile nature of

First, the design needed an easily changed component system for rapid adjustments,providing each student team with the ability to modify the HapConnect in their own fashion.With the condensed timeframe for the learning module, simple motor changes were desiredinstead of in-depth code adjustments to reflect physical changes to the device.

As we wrote the memos, wewere careful not to share who was quoted and the videos of the interviews were not sharedwidely.
