The course module (I)“User-Centered Design-Problem Definition” was offered based on the product and useroriented design aspects. The other course module “Experiential Manufacturing and MaterialAesthetics” was proceeded through project-based learning activities.

The author found that the “single most important factor thatplayed a role in persistence was student determination to succeed, and to not quit when theyencountered difficulties” [15]. This was true regardless of how students performed. While theresult was not attributed to students’ mindsets, it clearly points to having a growth mindset asbeing a very important factor in persistence, more so even than measures such as high schoolGPA. The importance of a growth mindset in engineering students’ success has recently beenhighlighted in the Washington State STARS program [16].

My students tell me that they aremore interested in materials selection, materials processing, and failure analysis than they are inbasic science. The industrial advisory committee for the mechanical engineering technologyprogram includes senior employees of biomedical, steelmaking, automotive, and other industries,so their advice plus student feedback guided the choice of courses to be offered in the minor.What's in a Name?An early question was what to call the minor.
