Therefore,universities can promote intellectual development to help science and engineering departmentsso that their students develop the necessary intellectual capacity. During recent years, society hasrecognized the importance of critical thinking for the intellectual development of collegestudents. This paper states that students can leave behind superficial learning to open the road ofanalytic, creative, and deep learning. These are the steps where one can reach such intellectualdevelopment. It proposes an educational model to reach this goal. The educational modelconsists of synthesis, of variety and choice of learning tasks; explicit communication andexplanation of

While it is neither possible nor desirable to develop a universalengineering curriculum, a systematic means of assessing and continuously improving an existing curriculum as awhole should be valuable to department chairs and engineering faculty. This methodology has been developed to enhance efforts by a department's faculty, led by its chair, toanalyze and understand an existing curriculum, to measure and assess input from a variety of informed sources,and to design an improved curriculum in response to the input received. This method delivers a new

The premise for thisMEA surrounds the analysis of an engine cycle that needs to be modeled for thermal efficiency.The MEA was run in six separate classes in groups of four, the students were given one week tofinish and turn in a memo that described their analysis of the engine cycle. The groups thatmodeled their cycle with at least one isothermal process calculated a work output for the cycle thatwas about 25
