Literature ReviewMachine Design CurriculumA machine design course in mechanical engineering primarily focuses on analyzing the performance andpotential failure of machine components. It is a required course in the mechanical engineering (ME)curriculum, acting as a vital link between theoretical physics concepts and their practical application inreal-world engineering challenges. This course allows students to

Independent studyprojects and open-ended problems within the course already in the curriculum that requireadditional knowledge that is not presented in a formal class setting are examples of ways toprovide opportunities for self-directed learning in an undergraduate program. Programs canalso assess student work requiring professional goal-setting or reflection on the value of life-long learning. Student participation in professional development activities, such asprofessional society membership, community service, and preparation for the Fundamentals ofEngineering exam are also examples of life-long learning.Assessing the BOKTo be formally integrated and then assessed, the civil engineering program outcomes must bemapped into the
related to thinking and learning that have important implications for teaching [14].Of those concepts, “association” seems to highlight a critical step in the transition from novice toexpert. For students who have misconceptions, replacing those notions with the correct scientificconcept presented in the classroom may be a difficult process. At best, all that educators can dois minimize incorrect thoughts by making stronger the associations amongst the correct ones.In light of the difficulties related to effectively teaching threshold concepts, several members ofthe engineering education community have begun working on ways to improve student learningin these areas.

Student developers working on the AR globe exhibit havebeen able to find many answers from online forums, including tutorials and extra documentationfor the development of AR applications. The current industry focus on headset design may leadto other dramatic changes in hardware platforms.Likewise, some popular AR software development packages either do not support all hardwareplatforms [18], or have undergone shifts in business model and/or ownership (Layar/Blippar is arecent case study for the interested reader). This prompts questions of platform sustainabilityand may influence some interested educators to adopt a

Similarly, students with strongprior interdisciplinary knowledge and modeling and simulation competencies will interact farbetter with their peers and build their communication and collaboration skills based on thoseguiding prompts. The qualitative results showed that the students tended to engage their modeldevelopment and result reporting and visualization skills more independently than as a teambecause of the disciplinary technicalities and team members' prior knowledge.Overall, the insights derived from this study can prove valuable in the planning andimplementation of effective team-based course intervention strategies that pertain to project-based modeling

haste to complete the exercises. The clarity of text-based exercises can often be an issue. Not every student interprets instructions in the same way. Students read and interpret instructions at different speeds. This results in challenges keeping the class moving through material together. This can exacerbate a weaker student’s understanding of critical concepts as they rush in an attempt to keep pace with their peers. Instructors and TAs are often by-standers when students are working on these exercises. In many cases they are relegated to assisting students understand the instructions rather than engaging them in deepening their understanding of the concepts. This is not the best use of their time and skill

The design and implementation of the first stage of the program is a reflection ofthat. Nevertheless, there were key blind spots or issues that have not been addresses and, in ouropinion, are critical for the advancement and impact of both projects. The most salient blind spotis the breadth but not depth participation of students. Student engagement is what the specializedliterature highlights as a key factor for successful change.16, 18 Make no mistake, in both schoolstudents participate in most of the activities, use the spaces, and create inspiring startups.

, they do not necessarily have the time to make the high levels of coordination that many university and industry engagement initiatives require. Industry engineers also have problems with the availability of time, especially during the workday - for example, it is difficult for many to devote half a day to an activity as a workshop for trainees. Often there is no money available to develop the types of initiatives that are likely to have the greatest impact. Even when funding is available to establish a new initiative, long-term financial sustainability remains problem. This paper intends to show a program that might work as a first step for engineering schools and industries to develop relations and work together in the

Sharpening a sense of social responsibility in young engineers may be another desirable byproduct of this particular design experience.• Emphasis on the discovery process and customer intimacy is intended to underscore the integral role played by engineers in all phases of the product development process, and the opportunities that may present themselves
