New Engineering Educators

13.1366.8 • The project must have an outcome that is exciting to the audience for which it is intended. There may be many experiments/projects that would show students a concept equally well, however, if the students aren’t drawn to the outcome, they won’t enjoy spending time on the project • The project must be real: numerical simulations without physical demonstration might as well be a DreamWorks production to our students. This generation has grown up with computer animation, photo shop and gaming technology that simulates Armageddon with sinister realism. It is only natural to expect that they would view numerical simulations as a kind of fairy tale and put more faith in

are also part of the mix within projects, so majors in computer science, mechanicalengineering, communications, and business can collaborate on the same design teams. PDIadopts the inclusive “engineering for all” mentality as with K-12 engineering initiatives, yetinstead of classifying everyone as an engineer, students learn that diverse domains of expertisecan contribute to engineering design problem solving.This type of higher education engineering is a much milder contrast to what students experiencein K-12 engineering initiatives. In fact, many students and families that visit PDI recruitingactivities have remarked: “This is what I thought engineering was like.” Yet, PDI courses are notmeant to displace or supplant the fundamentals-first
