Since publication of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring in 1962, environmentalgroups have become political forces, a multitude of environmental laws and regulations havebeen enacted, and the limits to growth, global warming, and overpopulation have been debated.Yet the relationship between environmental protection and technological change has notmatured but remains largely adversarial, with the developers of technology often characterizedas willfully negligent about the impacts of their work, treating the environmental and socialconsequences of technological change as messy, impossible to model, and therefore outside

Three goals are met through the junior-level experience: 1) to improve the studentsunderstanding of basic fluid mechanics, 2) to motivate students to take a CFD elective course intheir senior year, and 3) to provide a basic exposure for students who use CFD tools during theirsummer internship programs. In the senior year, students are exposed to commercial solvers andthe use of CFD as a design tool in elective courses such as heating, ventilation and airconditioning. Senior-level students can also take an elective course in

Layout of CellOne of the challenges facing the students was the dual-purpose nature of the injection moldingmachine – manual usage for instruction in Polymer Processing and automated operations for theRobotics project. To achieve this duality and still maintain a safe operational environment, thegroup decided to do the following: (a) Implement a selector switch at the operator console for mode selection – automated vs. manual (b) Incorporate a pressure-sensitive safety mat in front of the machine (see Figure 1) and (c) Protect the robot side of the cell with 8’-high perimeter guarding from American Machine Guarding.

Approach to Engineering ProblemsConstructivist learning theory asserts that knowledge is not simply transmitted from teacher tostudent, but is actively constructed by the mind of the learner through experiences (Piaget, 1973;Vygotsky, 1978). Founded in developmental psychology, constructivism suggests: (a) thelearner should be an active organism within the environment, not just responding to stimuli, butengaging and seeking to make sense of things; (b) knowledge is best generated internally, notabsorbed from an external source; and (c) the motivation for learning should be intrinsic.To facilitate such learning by discovery, the teacher and instructional environment must allowrepeated, prolonged experiences with the materials and events associated

Suckarieh andDiamantes (1995) indicated that time dedicated to construction safety training is not adequate.He mentioned that formal training could have a significant impact on students’ performance assoon as they graduate. Coble et al. (1998) mentioned that safety education for the BuildingConstruction Management students has not often been a high priority in US universities. J.Christian (1999) observed that teaching a class like safety is sometimes difficult as the studentsregard its regulatory nature as is "boring". The need for
