Specifically, this studyintegrated standards and the ASTM Compass database into the course through 1) case studyassignments, 2) targeted instruction by the engineering librarian, and 3) the integration ofstandards as information and research sources into both.The authors presented students in select class sections with a case study lesson dependent onstandards.

Most of the learning isachieved through doing and a large percentage of the course content is therefore allowed to vary.In both courses, appropriate feedback and support are given to the students during their designjourney but no “recipes” are provided. Students are encouraged to explore and make mistakes.In summary, the differences between courses can be found in the level of homogeneity in the twostudent bodies, the more restrictive time constraints imposed on the Japanese course (The KITacademic year is composed of three ten-week “quarters” while the UH has two thirteen-weeksemesters.), the population

Graphicalrepresentation of the effect of changing system parameters, topology, boundary and initialconditions provides a dramatic reinforcement to the analytical system knowledge acquired in theclassroom. Good engineering education reaches beyond textbook delivery, clever presentation ofrelevant equations, homework assignments or utilization of innovative grading procedures. It caninfluence and favorably change student intellectual, analytical, innovative and integrativeabilities and motivations, helping to develop critical thinking on issues underlying a problem orsolutions. It is in this spirit that many engineering educators have felt the value of usingcomputational tools to complement analytical procedures, enhance subject interests and booststudent concept

ENGINEERING EDUCATION You Be the Judge: When Competitions Employ an Engineering Design Rubric­assessment of writing (Yancy, 1999). Over subsequent decades, the use of rubrics to inform evalua-tive judgments about student performance extended to virtually every content area, particularly asopen-ended constructed response items and portfolios were added to the K-12 assessment toolkit.Ironically, the classroom use of rubrics to inform teaching and learning that was widely promotedin the 1990s and early 2000s grew, even as the use of these tools by high-stakes assessment pro-grams diminished when the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 prompted nearly all states toreduce or eliminate direct assessment. Rubrics were—and continue to be—celebrated as a

Furthermore, students viewed that immediatefeedback, and having repeated attempts of similar but different questions (akin to gamifiedlearning through trial and error) were very helpful in their learning. However, students alsoindicated that the game-like elements, on average, were minimally helpful towards theirmotivation. This is likely due, in part, to the limited amount of gamification that wasincorporated into the courses at this time. The results also show that the combination of gainingexperience points and “leveling up” (nor the two

The Indian K-12 education systemdoes not prepare students for such a program and the Indian engineering education system does not require sucha program. The college initiated the program with a careful crafting of a comprehensive framework and executedit successfully. The framework requires students learning liberal areas of their choices, which were analyzed tobetter understand students.This paper discusses background of liberal learning and explains the framework.

It was desired that the graduates of thiscurriculum be technically competent, critical and creative thinkers, life-long learners, effectivecommunicators, team players, and globally aware. They should understand process and systemsdesign and integration, display high ethical standards, and appreciate the social context ofengineering and industry business practices.

He then said they were not going to offer thecourse anymore after that year. Why? In large part because the student success rate was so lowthat it wasn’t worth the time investment, either for the professor or the students. The reason forthis, he explained, was that students would sign up and then not bother to do the work and finishthe course.
