The purpose of the presentdescriptive and correlational study is to begin to document that behavior by explicitly examiningstudents’ use of text materials when problem solving. Problem solving, whether by students or professionals in the field, often requires multipleskill sets. With this mind, consider the two following engineering problems: (1) A cylindrical rod of single crystal nickel with a radius of 2 cm yields when a tensile force of 17.47 kN is applied along its length. This force is being applied in the [001] direction. Slip occurs on the (111) plane in the [ 01] direction. What is the critical resolved

An ability to exhibit a global mindset is a state of mind that provides a positive disposition to be successful in a global environment8, 17, 25, 26, 27.   Engineers who exhibit a global mindset are “able to place technology in a global context, recognize the multidisciplinary and multicultural approaches to problem solving…and achieve a greater understanding of diversity”6.

I’ve had…complete ideas scrapped because they didn’t meet the end goal. And so it’s kind of like working jointly, and I think from my experiences, in order for it to be successful, an in-depth knowledge of your user has to come first so that you can make sure you’re designing to their specifications.

The surveys designed to collect employment data may be treated differentlyby employers, who may classify employees in the same occupation differently. Finally, the OESdata are collected as averages across time periods, a methodology that may not reveal suddenchanges very quickly.

Concepts – “Open the mind”In engineering disciplines, the students’ ability to comprehend engineering principles cansuccessfully be obtained by manually solving a series of multiple engineering problems ofprogressive difficulty as most engineering textbooks are formatted. The results of thismathematical approach in engineering education seem to be straightforward, maybe evenobvious.In architectural programs, however, this most effective teaching methodology of structuralengineering principles seems to need some additional pedagogical consideration or “treats” tomake the students more attracted, motivated and remain focused. To wake up the architecturalstudents out of the inactive mode in structures courses, the gap between the two
