instructors of IMSE 564 have had more than four years of industrial experience. From theirpersonal experiences, the learner-centered approach in engineering education is an efficient wayto facilitate learning and simulate motivations for engineering students. In order to establish suchan environment, they have explored the following five areas: (1) Select suitable topic; (2) Encourage group activities of the students with the facilitations of the instructors; (3) Use multi-media technologies in teaching; (4) Involve industrial professionals in teaching; (5) Make the course project-based.2.1 Topic selection in engineering educationProceedings of the 2005 Midwest Section Conference of the American Society for Engineering

In 2007,EMH&T began working on a strategy to implement the latest engineering design software,AutoCAD® Civil 3D®. The primary goal of the implementation was to use AutoCAD® Civil3D® to increase efficiency by producing a more accurate and consistent set of engineering plansthroughout the organization. A secondary goal was to have a more flexible workforce thatallows project managers to share personnel due to project needs. With these goals, EMH&Tdeveloped a comprehensive set of corporate CAD standards, developed custom AutoCAD®Civil 3D® training material to train members of their technical staff and developed a

Unfortunately, these skills are not common, do require prerequisites, andregarded by most as difficult to learn. Many different teaching methods have been proposed toimprove people’s abilities to grasp and retain knowledge under this category. Recognizing thatthere are difficulties in proper delivery of systems analysis and systems dynamics to civilengineering students; the fact remains that these tools are extremely useful for someone whoplans to become a designer.

Consequently, there has been apush, especially in K-12 education, to add “A” (Art & Design), transforming STEM intoSTEAM (Bequette & Bequette, 2012, Piro, 2010; White, 2011). Although, there seems to be asympathetic relationship between Art and STEM majors, there is limited research identifying thekey experiences or factors that foster the relationship between STEM and Arts which is evidentin the number and types of degrees conferred by women (Piro, 2010) (see Figure 1: DegreesConferred by Women).

It is often easier to master the skills necessary to solve a particular class of problem than it is to fully grasp the physical and mathematical principles on which the procedure is based. Engineering/Engineering Technology exams tend to emphasize problem solving; students understand this and react appropriately.Neither of these situations are fatal flaws in the educational process. They are, however,less than ideal outcomes. Educators should seek techniques that ameliorate theseoutcomes.An approach to mitigate these outcomes is to revisit the fundamentals, which wereintroduced early in the curriculum, in upper level courses.

However, in most cases, they did notinfiltrate the classrooms. As a result, engineering graduates are not properly trained to utilize NDTequipments. Other countries have placed a greater emphasis on NDT in their education system [6].Similar efforts exist in the U.S., but are rare.
