. Process Dynamics and Control with Lab is the first of two laboratory courses taken bychemical engineering majors. Students gain experience with pilot scale process equipmentthrough experiments that focus on fundamental principles of chemical process dynamics used inthe measurement and control of process variables. Mechanics Laboratory is a junior-levelmechanical engineering course. Students perform experiments in mechanics of materials andvibrational analysis using computer-aided data acquisition systems. Both laboratory coursesrequire students to work in teams to perform experiments, analyze data and write laboratoryreports, and thus these courses align well with the outcomes of the e-learning module on teambuilding.Deployment consisted of

Program participants who have not takenCalculus I or Physics I yet are encouraged to participate in Math or Physics Jam respectively,while participants further along in their coursework are grouped into research groups for a secondproject in week two.The primary goal of the ASPIRES Scholars Program is to serve as a stepping stone introduction tothe research process and to help develop students’ abilities as STEM researchers. Since some ofthe participants would not be joining the research program for week two, key activities wereselected for week one to help all participants develop fundamental research skills.

with open-endedbiomimicry-related problems throughout the curriculum is an important common thread for tyingcourse material together and for teaching students to solve complex problems by integratingknowledge from different disciplines. This work requires students to identify and formulate spe-cific problems to solve, which are fundamental to the engineering profession7. Having to retrieveand transfer knowledge from domains outside of engineering forces students to adapt to unfamil-iar languages and content formats (which helps develop non-technical skills) and positions themto apply the biological information intelligently to engineering problems (which helps developtechnical skills). Additionally, biomimicry touches on many areas of

Looking forward, the flexibility of this laboratory setting allows students atother universities to duplicate our course, since the data can be readily downloaded from theInternet. At the time of this writing, Java scripts are currently being prepared at the NWRTfor this operation. Moreover, for most people, precipitation is

Supporting design process, computer programming and engineering content isprovided during lecture (one-hour per week) and, where appropriate, via short online instruction-al videos. Students are required to perform weekly Matlab-based computer-programming as-signments, manage design portfolios for individual projects, write three engineering design re-ports and perform one oral presentation. These design projects are performed in product designgroups of four students each per lab section (19 students per lab section).

response to achange in social and historical context.This has significant bearing on a rather classic problem in the sociology of scientificknowledge.28 While it has been argued that it is difficult to establish a direct connection betweenestoteric knowledge and historical context in the sciences, engineering educators appear to do soon a routine basis. From the Perry Movement described by historian Larry Owens29; to the MannReport, Wickenden Investigation, Grinter Report and Goals Report mentioned above; to each ofthe liberal education studies discussed in the previous two sections, engineering educators haverepeatedly turned to educational reform as a means of reconsidering the fundamental basis ofengineering expertise. They have embraced

The ten HIPs include: 1) First-year seminarsand experiences, 2) Common intellectual experiences, 3) Learning communities, 4) Writing-intensive courses, 5) Collaborative assignments and projects, 6) Undergraduate research, 7)Diversity/global learning, 8) Service and community-based learning, 9) Internships, and 10) Seniorcapstone courses and projects [5] [6].Excluding senior capstone courses, using a High Impact Practice that is interdisciplinary and thatenhances entrepreneurial creativity remains poorly addressed in the Engineering Technologyfield, particularly at the junior-tertiary level.1.2 Current Approaches to the Problem and GapsIn response to the aforementioned
. Both men and women conceptualizedengineering as the application of math and science to real-world problems, and both men andwomen expressed an appreciation for this quality of engineering, as Amanda summed up, “It'sbecause it applies to life that it's more fun.” Brandon agreed with this sentiment, “Yeah, that'sprobably the best thing about it, that you can actually apply it to real-world situations and solveproblems that will help people.” Interview participants were each unique in how they expressedtheir conceptualizations of engineering, but at the same time, there was no discernible overallgender difference in their fundamental beliefs about the most important skills to engineers. Thisfinding is the same as that noted elsewhere.26However
handling would invariably improve students’ communication skills and help in building self-confidence.Finally, one of the fundamental principles underlying the case study approach is: thenontraditional role of the instructor, whose role is not so much to teach students as to encouragelearning. His/her role is more of a facilitator, and he/she has to be both a teacher and apractitioner.The Specifics of the ExperienceAt an international university, the author introduced a case study/ case history course in the areaof geotechnical/foundation engineering to Civil Engineering seniors, to achieve better learningoutcomes through class participation, foster a deeper approach to learning, broaden students’perspectives, and emphasize foundation design
