Having to give up a good proportion of a regularnight’s sleep on a routine basis is regarded as a necessary component of being anengineering student. Amelia, second-year student at Oliver described her nighttimeschedule in this way and in the process made an illuminating comparison with working asan engineer in industry, which she regarded as decidedly less difficult than engineeringeducation.

senior students to work in an industrial setting [32]. Students are expectedto work in a group to develop a working-testable solution for a real world problem provided bythe stakeholder (e.g., industries or individual clients) [30]. Consequently, aside from theirengineering design skills, students must also learn and develop managerial and communicationskills. Working in a team is more than the delegation of tasks. It is about balancing power andresponsibilities among the team members to accomplish the design goals [33].Self-Regulated Learning Getting engaged in a design project is not simple and straightforward. It requires thedesigner to self-direct his or her design, communication, and management skills in an iterativemanner to attain

Its use was uniquely justified whena study was impossible to do experimentally because of its size (too big such as the universeor too small such as subatomic systems), environmental conditions (too hot or dangerous) orcost. Science and engineering done computationally eventually demonstrated to be generatinginsight, just like experimental and theoretical research and this ultimately led to therecognition of computation as a third pillar of doing research.28In practice, the scientific method has often been taught as a one

Developed in the late seventies in industry, CMPC remains the state of art in theprocess industries till today. Now, static processes in life and commerce vastly outnumberdynamic processes, perhaps by as much as 9:1 and, therefore, it is essential to teachengineering students, in fact, all students the wherewithal of how to achieve the bestpossible performance of static processes.Fundamental, mechanistic approaches to problem-solving should always be preferred but,when sufficiently detailed knowledge of the process or

For example, the current model forengineering education stems from the national agenda to win the Cold War [12] whilemaintaining domestic comfort by protecting “private production and consumption” through thecreation of a new type of engineering industry, the “defense contractor.” Moreover, Downeyconvincingly explains how the dominant theme of “low cost, mass use” has governedinterpretations of success in American society and in the production of engineers, as the middle-class model for self-realization via consumption requires a significant output of standardizedengineering graduates as products to sustain the “American way of life.” Thus, our currentmeasure of the success of an

primary goal inviting students to explore their own cultural practices.The course was designed as an interactive, three-credit-hour interactive lecture format. Thesyllabus had 15 weekly units, outlined here in brief. Units 1-3 offered a brief history of the world through about 1600, grounded in Jared Diamond’s (1999) thesis on the rise of agriculture. Units 4 and 5 introduced the themes of comparative religion and cultural conventions. Units 6-8, the second historical segment, included the Industrial Revolution, 19th-century imperialism, and post-colonial nationalism. The previous historical and cultural units laid the groundwork for Units 9-14, five weeks on economics, 20th-century politics, the
