hypothesized that a theory-first approachis neither necessary nor sufficient to exploit the full potential of the capability throughout all ofthe formative phases of curriculum. They advocated a consistent approach of early and continuedexposure of FEA simulation, beginning with the first year, to successive mechanics courses,again without requiring the education FEA theories. In simple words, neither FEA theory northeories of mechanics are necessary to exploit the advantage of FEA simulation, learning how toobtain an FEA simulation is enough. In this article, it was hypothesized that FEA simulation canbe integrated into ME core courses to better understand the concepts of conventional theories inmechanics, heat transfer, and machine design courses

A pioneer in the area of problem-basedlearning, McMaster University Professor Emeritus, Dr. Donald R.

Discovery approach aims to march a step further, when compared with problem-basedlearning. Here the instructor may benefit from the ideas provided by Intel Education.

As the frequency and extent intensity of the natural disastersare on the rise, it is very important to train the next generation engineers on the sustainabilityconcept from the classroom level. For sustainability to be addressed by civil engineeringprofessionals, students must be educated and trained to consider the concept of sustainability toaccommodate it in any construction project.Capstone/Senior design class intends to accumulate the experience of the students gained fromcourses in the curriculum.

Due to some significant issues with the 2007 Baja SAE team,West Point did not compete in the 2007 competition. Because Baja SAE is conducted as a seniorcapstone design project, the lack of competitiveness led the senior faculty advisor to examine theprogram and take steps to prevent future failures. A brief history of the West Point Baja SAEprogram, course framework, and steps taken to revitalize the program are discussed in

Fry12 has also discussed the importance of “design thinking” inengineering education and underscores the value of multidisciplinary teams. Until designpractices are fully integrated into engineering curricula, capstone design programs will bear asubstantial burden to better prepare undergraduates for careers that inevitably emphasize the“practice” of design.At RIT, the infusion of multidisciplinary design into the curriculum represents a strategicimperative for the KGCOE. Without strong top-down commitment, the likelihood of making anoticeable impact on the broader challenge outlined above seems remote. In addition to theMSD program discussed in this paper

With the advent of ABET 2000 criteria, there is a renewed interest in developinginterdisciplinary engineering curricula that focuses attention on the impact of engineeringon people, society, and the environment. Since Sustainable Engineering addresses someof these issues, this field seems to be a natural choice for curriculum development.With this in mind, our primary goal is to improve the quality of engineering education byintroducing experiences throughout the engineering curriculum that deal with sustainabledesign. These experiences can be curricular or extra-curricular. In some instances, wehave developed green engineering

The science and the hand on experience wereessential ingredients in the engineering education until the period that followed the SecondWorld War. Following the Second World War the trends in engineering education emphasizedthe science portion more than the applied side in engineering.
