Engineering EducationThe resources provide via the Educators’ Corner are divided into four focus areas: a) How to Build a Center b) Curriculum c) Tools and Methods d) Community a) b) d) c) Figure 2: STVP Educators’ Corner http://stvp.stanford.edu/out/educators.htmla. How to Build a CenterThis section contains a hands-on guide for faculty and administrators to launch or expand anentrepreneurship center for engineers and scientists. The STVP Overview provides acomprehensive look at the existing program, its history and developments to date. The E-shipProgram Overviews highlight 12 programs for engineers and
modules to be taught in sophomore, junior, and seniorcourses that add value to them. In other cases, we have promoted contests thatencourage students to participate in infrastructure development projects such as thedesign of the academic center for engineers and scientists and the engineering annexbuilding.The specific objectives for the green engineering building contest flow from thelarger goals outlined above are as follows: a. Create an opportunity for students and faculty to contribute to the design of the new building that will serve as a learning experience for all. b. Create a model building that illustrates UTEP’s leadership in engineering design and sustainability concepts for the El Paso Ciudad-Juarez region. c. Provide
one function, to store line. Granted, storage is a primary function, but so is line controlthrough the use of a drag system. The drags currently in use can be manually adjusted to accountfor the leader being used and the size of the fish being caught. There are two popular types ofdrag systems on the market today: a) the click and pawl, and b) the disc type. Click-and-pawldrag systems are the simplest and most common. A ratchet on the inside of the spool engages apawl or a pair of pawls mounted on the reel frame. A leaf spring is connected to a knob on theoutside of the spool, and a variable pressure can be applied to the drag pawl by turning the dragadjustment knob8. The disk drag system is also capable of applying a variable pressure

An example of a $100 part would b e the spindle is figure4. This cost initially seems extravagant. However, in this particular case, the prototyperevealed a design flaw that, if not corrected before manufacturing of the final aluminumpart, would have rendered the part unusable. This mistake would have cost the team farmore than $100, and resulted in significant time losses.Probably the most interesting written feedback was to the question #4, which asked whatthe students learned from their prototype that they did not learn from their CAD model.All the students except one

Session 3225 When Students Resist: Ethnography of a Senior Design Experience in Engineering Education Gary Downey, Juan Lucena Virginia Tech/Embry-Riddle Aeronautical UniversityAbstractThis ethnographic study explores how engineering students in a traditional senior design courseinterpreted design assignments in terms of the engineering sciences. These students, who hadbeen taught to value the distinction between ‘science’ and ‘design,’ tended to resist designeducation. They had learned to think about design as a trivial extension of mathematicalproblem solving. This
