Page 22.901.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2011 Integrating Computing into Thermodynamics: Lessons Learned Even though computing has become pervasive in today’s workplace, many engineering curricula have lagged in creating engineers with computational aptitude. Computational-capable engineers are ones who can utilize computing effectively to solve engineering problems. Developing these computationally capable engineers means understanding that changes in the undergraduate engineering curriculum must recognize it’s context in an educational continuum. Starting from the first computing course, the computing skills need

Contemporary manufacturers have the option of selecting optimumtechnologies or processes to suit their manufacturing environment. Fast paced transformations inEngineering Technology (ET) field require new and enhanced learning and teaching strategies inengineering technology curriculum. More than ever, the educational advance is leaning towardsmeeting the demands of industrial world. Engineering Technology curricula needs to adapt tonovel technologies and modern tools by enabling students to acquire meaningful and relevantpractices.

educational agenda, though in other venues. We discuss the practical andaccreditation problems associated with incorporating the "new" design features in an existingmachine design course. A separate design course, dedicated to plastic product design, is alsooutlined. This last alternative is likely the best bridge from a machine design curriculum withoutplastics concepts to one with metallic/nonmetallic product design.1 IntroductionPlastic products† are a dominant part of the manufacturing world. It is very likely that you thereader could, at this moment, reach out and touch a plastic product from where you sit. Yet,mechanical design curricula at universities, as a general rule, do not have plastic product designintegral in their construction. The

Since these packages are not industry leaders, they compete with a price advantage.These packages can be purchased in the range of $800.00 to $1500.00 per copy. Some of thesepackages include CADKEY, CADAM, Anvil and MicroStation.

Peer learning (PL) methods arewell described and justified in education and psychology literature [13-17]. In engineeringeducation, PL is addressed in mechanical engineering [18], computer science [19], and electricalengineering [20]. Also, flipped classroom methods often include PL [21]. However, this literaturesearch did not yield any results dealing with pair-to-pair or group-to-group learning methods.Curricular ContextThe lab design project addressed in this work is part of a Computer-Integrated Manufacturing(CIM) course which is a required one-semester three credit-hour undergraduate senior-level coursetaught in
