For India, cost savings,English language skills, ability to learn quickly, technical knowledge and work ethic are strongcharacteristics. Lastly U. S. students possess a very different set of skills such as strongcommunication skills, an understanding of U. S. industry, a desire to challenge the status quo,strong technical skills, superior business acumen, and a sense of creativity. Obviously these arethe skills valued by the U. S. educational system. How are students exposed to these skills andwhere should exposure to these skills occur?ABET has given a list of outcomes that point to qualities necessary for successful engineeringstudents8.

The solution eventuallyrecommended by the students and implemented by the community was the SolarBee, a solarpowered circulator that both increases evaporation and enhances biodegradation due to betteroxygen transfer in mixed lagoons. Another service learning project determined appropriatesolutions to handle by-product waste generated from a community scale biodiesel productionfacility. In addition, most traditional environmental engineering projects -- such as wastewatertreatment plant upgrades, drinking water treatment, and remediation -- all require some analysisof energy requirements in order to compute annual operating costs

Design, in general, is a trial and error process, anddesign of daylighting systems in no exception. Evaluation of the performance of daylightingsystems by testing physical scale models is commonly seen as the only accurate method, with theexception of computer programs. The use of computer programs does not suit beginningundergraduate students as a learning tool. Physical scale models are recommended

baseline for comparingengineering student’s mathematics and design behaviors in future analysis.II. IntroductionResearchers have found that when engineering students have knowledge and a large repertoire ofproblem solving strategies they provide more complete and correct answers to the givenproblems1. Mathematics contributes to the core of engineering and serves as a source ofknowledge from which engineering students can draw from. Thus, engineering students musthave an ability to apply mathematical knowledge and skills to problem solving and engineeringdesign tasks. Simply having mathematical or engineering knowledge without understanding ofhow to apply the learned strategies can limit a student’s ability to provide correct answers2.Aspects of

Aninteresting practical example is that the students do the calculations to learn that the pumpor compressor energy required per fuel energy transferred is substantially more for naturalgas than it is for oil that has the much higher density.The course also evolves from the author's experience over many years of preparing hundredsof students and working engineers for the Fundamentals and Practice parts of theProfessional Engineering Licensing Exam.

The term “3D printing” is increasinglyused as a synonym for AM. However, the latter is more accurate in that it describes aprofessional production technique which is clearly distinguished from conventional methods ofmaterial removal. Instead of milling a workpiece from solid block, for example, AM builds upcomponents layer by layer using materials which are available in fine powder form. A range ofdifferent metals, plastics, and

To demonstrateits potential value, this paper describes a preliminary study using network analysis and semanticmaps to explore the responses of engineering students (N=70) in China to two course-relatedprompts: give an example of a behavior you consider unethical; explain what makes thisbehavior unethical.
