The results of the TSU student teams efforts were right-on,and enabled the Saturn and EDS team to evaluate several potential solutions to our businessproblem. The CSS experience brought a fresh set of creative ideas to help us solve our businessproblem. We have benefited from our experience with our TSU education partner.”5. ConclusionThis paper describes an elegant way of partnering academic institutions with industries todevelop problem-based projects that improve students’ technical and soft skills for immediateemployment. The DoCS at TSU has successfully completed three (3) such projects and it plansto expand this initiative in future. We plan to expose

Prior to joining the faculty at Texas A&M, he was a senior product development engineer at the 3M Corporate Research Laboratory in St. Paul, Minnesota for three years. He received his B.S. in mechanical engineering from Michigan State University and his S.M. and Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Johnson’s research focuses on design tools, specifically, the cost modeling and analysis of product
redesigned electric nailfile.MethodologyThe project followed typical steps in engineering design process: 1. Research the existing devices in the market and identify issues that users might have. A survey was used in this phase. 2. Brainstorm to determine alternatives to address the issues with the initial goals in mind. 3. Evaluate concepts and implement in parametric CAD the top ideas in order to have better visualization and ability to make modification for improvement. 4. Fully develop the selected alternative. All components were modeled using Pro/E (most common software in shops in the area). Models of parts and assemblies, STL files for rapid prototyping, and production drawings for manufacturing were generated

The students have already committed to a lab and have a research mentor. In our newstudent orientation programs, introduction to chemical engineering (material and energybalances) course, and AIChE student chapter activities, we provide students with information onundergraduate research, ongoing research in the department, and how to approach faculty oncampus to initiate undergraduate research opportunities.The experiences of individual undergraduates in their first research experience may vary widelybased on the mentorship and training provided. Our department developed a

Consequently, initiatives are underway to develop new diagnostic tools for: (1) flow visualizationand qualitative imaging, (2) determination of temperature and species concentration fields, (3) determinationof velocity fields, and (4) measurement of particle size distributions and concentrations.DISCUSSION WSU Mechanical Engineering student, David A.

He worked alongside NASA scientists and engineers to assist in the performance ofseveral ongoing research projects in the area of microgravity combustion science. Specifically, he was

SEMS-ROC demonstrates diversity in research backgroundsof the faculty and includes interdisciplinary interests of all three departments in the school.Research activities tend to cluster around several broad topic areas involving faculty from acrossSEMS disciplines as well as in some cases, from other Schools at the institution along with otherinstitutions around the country.One of the initiatives undertaken at SEMS-ROC to break down the departmental-level andschool-level silos and encourage to nurture

By the end of the summer the students were able tocomplete a rudimentary Python-based simulator.This project was attractive for two reasons. First, developing the code for a simulator opens thedoor to a range of interesting research, from adding one’s own custom noise models, toinvestigating ways to accelerate the simulator or add the ability to handle more qubits, which areall viable research problems in their own right [16], [17]. Second, the development of thesimulator forms a driving motivator for learning QC and thus provides a basis for ourintroductory class on QC. 3.

researchprocess. The term research mindset is used in the extant literature, but no theoretical base for theusage of this term has been established. The following work-in-progress study is a first attemptto understand the attributes of the research mindset among engineering doctoral researchers.Interviews were conducted with seven early career engineering researchers. Initial findingssuggest that research mindset is comprised of six attributes: (1) open-mindedness, (2) believingin oneself and the research, (3) persistence, (4) honesty, (5) being critical, and (6) a writingmindset. The findings from this study provide a foundation for further explorations of researchmindset.IntroductionA mindset is a psychological framework that shapes an individual's
