initial work for thestudents. The research component of this project is to overcome the flight time limitation of currentelectric multirotor technology by designing a novel solar powered UAV (similar to the BrunelUAVs introduced in the research-informed section). This is an ongoing project and the studentsare currently demonstrating the capabilities of a commercial drone, with an onboard camera, formonitoring applications (Figure 14). Due to the applied real-world and cutting edge researchaspects, as well as the opportunity to provide service to the community, the students are veryengaged in the project, which will count very positively towards their graduations, and preparethem for their future careers in mechatronics engineering.Figure 14.

protection and resource sustainability. This decisionreflects, in part, our acknowledgement that a more formal course needed to more explicitly relateto ABET outcomes and to the concerns of our department’s industrial advisory board (seebelow).Moreover, it reflects our desire to stimulate engineering students’ critical thinking about thedirection engineering is heading and especially about some of the controversial emergingtechnologies they are likely to encounter and perhaps even work on during their careers. Thisdesire is consistent with Lewis Duncan’s admonition about the need for engineering students todevelop the social, political, economic, and ethical expertise necessary for effective leadership ina twenty-first century engineering landscape

ofengineering might be less likely to use design processes or ‘engineering approaches’ to solveproblems, and we wanted to study how students with (at least some) background in engineeringenacted the design process in an ill-structured problem space.In order to find the seven research participants, we contacted all students who had attendedEngineering State and who lived within 60 miles of the university. Eleven of approximately 30students responded to our invitation to participate in the study. We conducted individualinterviews with each of the 11 students, asking them about their interests, their anticipated lifeand career trajectories, and the kinds of activities they liked to do with their families and friends.Questions about these and other topics

creative travel considerations can be very effective in keeping costs low. C. Time Many of our technical students participate in career related summer employment or internships. An exchange trip should not intrude excessively into this time. Central Michigan University (CMU) has many different types of international experiences available to the students. They range from yearlong residence programs to one-week visits. The CMU Industrial and Engineering Technology (IET) department has found that their students are most favorably inclined to a three-week experience, maximum. This gives them a solid feel for the culture they are visiting, the visit peaks before getting boring, and it does not consume too much of their summer employment

Timoshenko’s arrival tothe U.S., engineering education was not a priority of the higher education discussion.In many ways Timoshenko noticed the lack of concern within American colleges anduniversities toward applied sciences. For instance, one of his constant critiques was the nature of Page 22.1255.8the work and career of faculty. According to Timoshenko, the chairs in an engineeringdepartment must be filled by people who have demonstrated scientific achievement, but inAmerica he found other criteria. Professors were promoted based on the years of service andteaching experiences, a “worse method.” In the U.S., they were distancing young

This can help avoid misunderstandings and cultural insensitivity. In addition, communicating with people from different cultures and languages is a valuable skill that can benefit students in many aspects of their lives. Learning how to appreciate and understand other cultures can help avoid misunderstandings and create more meaningful relationships. 2.
