When studentsare presenting their work, whether it is simply to update their advisor on their research progressor when practicing for a conference, other students (undergraduate and graduate) should be in theroom listening to this presentation. Of course, emphasizing to the students that this is aprofessional development opportunity for them should be done in order to prime the students tobe ready to critically consider the contents of what they are to about to hear.A few days prior to a technical conference where students are presenting their work, it isbeneficial to have the students practice their presentation in front of the research group. Duringthis practice session, the audience is asked to analyze each slide individually

personnel from the Instruments Division at Georg Fischer-DISA(GF-DISA) have been working on the development of a TDT for chemically bonded sands.Sand molding is, by far, the most common casting process used in the United States. Accordingto the American Foundrymen’s Society (AFS), close to 90% of the annual castings produced (1)nationwide are sand castings . Such popularity, due in part to the high level of applicability thatsand casting offers, has resulted in many technical developments towards a more efficientprocess. For resin binder processes, which can be classified as: no-bake systems, heat-curedsystems and cold box systems, technological advances on the chemicals used for the binders andthe catalysts have

sensitivity to electrode application. Toovercome these problems, students needed to use the theory they were learning. Theyalso learned to reframe problems – for example one group made a breakthrough whenthey redefined their system as human-instrument, rather than two separate systems.PBL-type courses also allow students to confront real-world non-technical problems suchas managing projects and documenting progress. Each group managed a website wherethey documented their progress and used post-its to track action items.The biomusic project, however, was wicked in another way. There were real constraintscoming from multiple sources. Some constraints were internal and of a logistical ortechnical nature (e.g. assignment deadlines, requirement of real

These meetingsare termed “coaching sessions.” At the first coaching session, called the Design Memo Meeting(DMM), the students are required to bring a

space race of 1957 proved the need for awide range of technical talent, and engineering technology emerged outside the curriculum trackof engineering programs as theorized by the CEEE [1, 3].Vocational and two-year associate programs focus on the applied theory, providing a foundationfor engineering technology education. The programs aimed to raise technical supportprofessionals to work along with practicing engineers [1]. Industry saw benefits from theseparate curriculums and areas of specialization as engineers studied theory and conceptualizeddesign, while engineering technologists held the technical skills to apply theory to practice [3].Four-year baccalaureate engineering technology programs developed from two-year programs inthe 1960s, as
