Students simulate the flow past a cylinder and/or airfoil,and design an app to investigate how various parameters impact lift and/or drag experienced byan object. Finally, laboratory experiments allow comparison of simulation results withexperimental data.Keywords — simulations; assessment; junior courses; thermo-fluidsIntroductionThe implementation of computer-based simulations using multi-physics software in engineeringeducation is of growing interest at the undergraduate [1-9].

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Work-in-Progress: Online Tutorials to Help Undergraduates Bridge the Gap Between General Writing and Engineering WritingAbstract Although engineering students are regularly called upon to write as engineers in designcourses, laboratory courses, and internships throughout their curriculum, many engineeringstudents do not formally learn to write as an engineer until their third or fourth year of study. Forthis reason, a gap exists between what engineering students know about general writing and howthey are expected to write as an engineer. As a first step to address this gap, this paper

Using cognitive ethnography, we analyzed research activities in engineeringresearch laboratories, and SDP teams’ discussions about ethics issues, with or without thepresence of ethics experts. We found that student teams demonstrated multi-layeredunderstanding of engineering ethics: explicit and implicit. Those two types of understandingmanifested themselves differently across SDP teams. At the explicit level, SDP teams understoodtheir technical responsibility and practical work ethics, but at the same time rarely showedappreciation for
