/Decision theory”. On the other hand, normative decision makingis concerned with how people should make decisions [2]. It generally works with the assumptionthat people who make decisions are rational decision makers and are fully armed with the bestand latest tools of decision making, so they can make optimal decisions [1]. It can be seen that,this section is more useful in engineering and economic related sciences, and therefore, moreuseful for engineering students. The authors’ main focus on this article is towards the latter caseof the decision-making types. Normative decision making can itself be divided into three sub-sections. The first part is concerned with the topic of single objective decision-making ordecision-making under uncertainty

CONCURRENT ENGINEERING Many mechanical engineers will design and create products for a career. By using concurrent engineering, the time and cost of manufacturing can be reduced along with improving the quality of the part. This is done by considering how the product will be manufactured when designing the product, which is concurrent engineering. During the designing process, mechanical engineers should consider what materials are available, how easy it is to form the product

thechanging nature of our technological world. Cars that are computer controlled are not ones thatlend themselves to “tinkering.” Likewise, the microelectronics that runs through most all moderntechnological artifacts present our nascent engineers with little of the opportunity for hands-onlearning that so typified the pre-college experience of their counterparts in years past.On the other hand, students are very comfortable with videos and, hopefully, reasonably welloriented toward simulation/animation software. Their inclinations can be used [1], in a properlydesigned course, to enhance learning [2], [3], [4].What the authors have tried to do is add a new component to what have traditionally been pureanalysis courses as a way of addressing this

Therefore, my classes are characterized by a largenumber of example problems. When I first started teaching I would write the example problemon the board and then proceed to solve it while asking students questions. The copy machine haschanged this somewhat. I believe that there is very little pedagogical advantage in having thestudents transcribe the problem statement. When written by hand the problem statements aretypically messy since students are writing quickly, thereby

time and over-packed coursecontents. As a result, traditional education in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) usually overemphasized on memorization of knowledge andprocedures rather than higher-order thinking skills, such as creative problem skills 14. Moststudents did not receive explicit instructions on development of creativity and metacognitveskills from their instructors in their major courses15. The problem-based service learning (PBSL) may offer unique opportunities differentfrom the traditional learning for students to face real world problems that may demandinnovative solution through creative problem solving processes. Thus, the PBSL may beutilized as a platform to develop creativity and metacognitive skills

This struckthe author as the wrong approach in educating future Civil Engineers (and Army Officers in ourcase). Influenced by much research on the subject, the author also believed that students shouldbe more responsible for their own learning as well. If they were to truly learn the material, theymust take more ownership of it and see it as more than a requirement to be met and endured.While participating in the Master Teacher Program at the U.S. Military Academy, the authorcame across some work that suggested that one way to develop a student’s metacognition, thustheir ability for life-long learning, is to view them and treat them as

This is methodologically interesting because the two approaches complement one another:the coding can capture broad themes across individuals while the discourse analysis (particularlyat the small scale) can capture the linguistic choices used by these individuals. We think this is apromising avenue of study. Further, we have begun conducting our study on students from atraditional electrical engineering senior design course. We hope this study will help provideinteresting parallels and contrasts with our AME participants and provides a way to see how ourmethodology transfers to a slightly new context.Acknowledgements: This material is based upon work supported by the National ScienceFoundation under Grant No. 1830730

Incorporating a visual and hands-on component to the lectures fostered very interactiveresults in terms of questions and more in-depth discussions. Although not totally unexpected orunanticipated, it was still encouraging to realize this outcome. This aspect of the project, byitself, has made it a worthwhile and rewarding experience.

misconceptions were addressed. The first misconception deals with the topic of base level,which is the equilibrium level, expressed by a curvilinear surface, to which streams will erode ordeposit material when adjusting to changes in sea level or land uplift or subsidence. The processis time dependent, and deposition and erosion can be occurring simultaneously along differentreaches of a river, as the response to changes in land or ocean levels starts at the downstream endand migrates upstream over time. Initial instruction consisted of a discussion of the process,complete with graphical examples drawn on the chalkboard. Students’ misconceptions tend tohinge on the notion that the response to change is immediate throughout the whole system.Revised

Therefore “specifications” foran introductory design course will usually represent an attempt to better qualify the initial problemstatement rather than to quantify it. However, the objective is always to define the problem asprecisely as possible, and quantifying specifications are desirable as long as they representreasonable expectations. On the other hand, specifications must be met by the design solution. Ifa specific material, size, or weight is not absolutely necessary, it should not be specified since itover constrains the solution; only
