Faculty activities do little to encourage development and use of theseskills to improve engineering education.1.3 Engineering Education AdvancesIt is unfair to contend that no trends in engineering education have sought to recognize thechanging requirements for those in engineering practice. The recognition of the desperate needfor change has been a prominent topic in recent engineering education literature. Attempts toconsider the systems approach have led to attempts at course integration; and increasing use ofinformation technology has introduced new teaching methods and allowed students access tosoftware used in practice.Integration is primarily visible in the form of capstone senior design projects common in mostengineering schools

Page 13.951.9We have reported some preliminary results of a research that aims at improving engineeringeducation through the application of ontologies and web information semantics. Using thesefields of information technology, we anticipate analyzing and applying the information onengineering curriculum web sites, which has been so far heterogeneously organized withdifferent terminologies. Ontological tools will facilitate the (1) extraction and analysis of a largeamount of complicated information dispersed through university websites, and (2) theincorporation of the knowledge of educational psychology about best-practice in curriculumdevelopment and delivery mechanisms (e.g., vignette), and assessment tools for measuringeffectively students

relationship of engineering education tothe larger system from many different perspectives, I adopt a philosophical perspective. Thereason for approaching this problem from philosophy is that these discussions—the purpose,meaning, influence, and value of engineering education as it intersects the larger system—are atthis time conceptually imprecise. An assertion of the paper is that we currently lack a shared,meaningful conceptual ontology to discuss such issues which may cause us to “talk around eachother” in our attempts to rethink engineering education. Philosophy provides a method to gatherand translate these concepts, then begin to understand their claims and limits of these claims.This manuscript focuses on how engineering is defined for the

This constructdraws heavily on John Dewey’s seminal work in education and experiential learning.Transformative experience has been

Part of this problem can be attributed to the lack of engaging hands-onactivities during the first year of instruction. Most engineering and technology programs requirestudents to take natural science, math and some general education courses during the first twoyears with minimal technical content. To maintain student’s interest in the technical career path,it is important that students establish a link between the theoretical knowledge and its applicationto solve real life problems early in their learning experience. Simulation based activities have aproven record as instructional tool. Such activities have been used
