This greatly limits the ability of the students to apply what they learn to solve problems ofpractical industrial applications.Efforts have been made to close this gap. Recently, with the development of open-source packagessuch as OpenFoam [1] and the availability of free or low-cost academic licenses for commercialsoftware packages such as ANSYS Fluent [2], some CFDHT courses are now asking the studentsto simulate more realistic fluid and heat transfer problems. However, due to the limitedcomputational resources available in the classroom, the simulation projects are still limited tosimple tutorials and canonical problems packaged with software simulation tools. Moreover, thereis

better way than the traditional lecturemethod that could get through to more students and keep students engaged with the material.Something of an epiphany occurred while talking with a Computer Science colleague about theinability to keep students engaged in class. The colleague asked, “have you heard aboutPOGIL?” “What’s POGIL?”, was the natural reply.POGIL stands for Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning. The POGIL Project, a non-profitorganization dedicated to widening the use of POGIL, describes this pedagogy as “a student-centered, group-learning instructional strategy and philosophy developed through research onhow students learn best” [3]. The key element in POGIL is the use of worksheets, or “guidedinquiries” that students work

istargeted to directly benefit the senior design project experience and reconcile mechanicalengineering curricula with the hiring need in the industry for engineers who understand commonmanufacturing processes and how to design for them. Using computer-aided manufacturing andother visual learning methods as a basis in which to root their understanding, students wouldmaster the ability to design for specific manufacturing processes representative of universalDFM principles and later apply that knowledge to deeply-involved manufacturing projectsfurther in the course. By the end, students would complete a final project which would assess,qualitatively, their aptitude in designing for manufacture and understanding of the principles ofmulti-objective

? This is called systems engineering, and it can come in many flavors. 5. What are you going to do to make your design unique? This is just a concept, so think of what challenges your topic has, and see if you can get creative about solving how. Feasibility is not a factor here.Throughout the semester, students have thirteen weekly submissions that align with the topics ofthe courses. For each week, they must report on more than just an answer. They use an Excelnotebook with a tab for each week so that they keep all their information in one place. This alsoallows them to easily use values from previous weeks on subsequent computations, and to updatevalues as they learn more about the system.Each week, students are evaluated on the

, which areexplained later in this section. Our acceptable evidence was identifying which skills we wouldsee in our students when they graduated. Since the goal for the first stage of the curriculumdevelopment--planning learning experiences--we focused on high level of topics and skills thatshould be covered and determining how to scaffold the skills. For example, to improve students’programming and computational skills, we identified courses to incorporate those skills from thefreshman to senior year. Our goal was to use the backward design approach to design a “good” curriculum, rather thanfocus on converting what we had. Although there were structural challenges, (which we willdiscuss later in the paper), we also had successes using this

these systems using a variety of computational tools, and • Defending their numerical results and conclusions using appropriate conceptual informationThese were challenging skillsets for students to develop. With the first iteration, few groupssuccessfully modeled their systems appropriately. As a result, the projects required significantfeedback from the instructor during the early stages of the project. This approach was then adoptedfor future iterations, providing opportunities for student groups to rework models based onfeedback. This provided the dual benefits of 1) letting students learn through failure and 2) bynormalizing this experience, students felt positive about their learning growth, despite the initialfailures.Figure

The students were told that error detection problems were fair game on the two midtermexams and final exam.In presenting the general concept of error detection problems, the instructors explained to thestudents that the problems were being implemented for the following reasons: • Literature suggests that seeing material both as an error detection problem and regular solution problem would improve their learning. • It can be common for an engineer in industry to review a colleague’s work for correctness. Thus, students would benefit from practicing a skill that may be used after graduation. • It was believed that error detection problems would

This was an opportunity for students to showwhat they had done, to describe what they had learned (both what worked and what did notwork), and to discuss how to proceed to overcome challenges and move toward achievingresearch goals. Students were encouraged to share their thoughts on how their peers shouldovercome challenges that they brought to the group, which helped them to feel a sense ofcamaraderie and to learn how to work on cross-functional teams.
