solution to a global problem using thermodynamic principles. Students are charged with describing a common global problem and proposing a feasible solution or product that involves thermodynamic cycles, phase separation, work, or efficiency. Students submit a bibliography, technical report, final presentation, and group evaluation. Design challenges in third year courses (CBE 311: Introduction to Transport Phenomena and CBE 321: Mass Transfer involve incorporation of more chemical engineering theory and conceptual understanding to applications for the end goal of developing new products and solutions to real- world problems. The technical and teamwork skills developed from these challenges prepare students for capstone design in

In the study, “Engaging Teachers and Students in Problem-based Simulation Activities”, it is stated that simulation of the dynamics of mechanismsused in engineering technology curricula is a new concept rarely studied (Irwin, 2006). Inthe past two years the use of computer simulation has increased, software has becomemore advanced and research of simulated learning activities has increased. Even thoughresearch in this area is growing, there still remains a lack of understanding of howsimulations can be used most

There is verylittle evidence that any given technical topic is not addressed sufficiently in ME curriculum.Vision 2030 led to a loosening of the already flexible ABET program criteria for ME to enabledesign of curriculum emphasizing open-ended design experiences and development of integratedprofessional and technical skills. Vision 2030 does identify a deficit in ME graduates’ practicalexperience and understanding of “how things work and are made.” Aside from those ME-specificissues, ASME’s Vision 2030 fits with the consensus view that engineering education shouldcontinue to better prepare engineers who can integrate technical and

Master’s thesis, was mainly focused on technical knowledge, and was especiallyfocused on building a working prototype. Each student had his own technical advisor. However,we realized that this focus did not teach the early stages of design (such as literature search,market study, and cost analysis) and did not adequately emphasize soft skills (such as workingeffectively as a member of a multidisciplinary team, understanding professional and ethicalresponsibilities, understanding the impact of engineering solutions, communicating effectively,and learning by oneself). Therefore, we revised the Senior Design course to include these topics.This paper describes the restructured (“new and improved”) Senior Design course, including:how the student teams

From the instructor’s prospective, the approaches improved the quality of laboratoryeducation because they help nurture student creativity, raise their enthusiasm in learning, and deepentheir understanding of laboratory material. At the same time, the goal of integrating design into thelab course was also achieved.REFERENCES1) Criteria for Accrediting Programs in Engineering in the United States, 1995-96 Accreditation Cycle, AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology, Inc., Baltimore, MD2) LabVIEW - Graphical Programming, Gary Johnson, McGraw Hill, 19943) Understanding Industrial Designed Experiments, S.R.

deadlines in project based courses. A delicate balance betweenexternalization and active student collaboration is required for effective student learningexperience.1. IntroductionMany engineering design project courses challenge students with real-world problems thatrequire teams to integrate their knowledge and to think creatively. When faced with conflictingconstraints, students must break their classroom thinking patterns. The externalization of theknowledge of individual students and the development of a shared understanding by the teamdoes not happen by itself. External stimuli, such as explicit project milestones, clientpresentations and class meetings, force the students to share and integrate their design ideas.Since most of the knowledge

In order to understand how students manage uncertainty while working on CAD-enabledengineering design tasks, this study examined the ways students responded to uncertainty (i.e.,raise, reduce, maintain, or ignore from Table 1), as well as how they dealt with thoseuncertainties (e.g., using what tools?).

These are the kinds of issues commonly addressed in engineeringcodes of ethics, although many do not view the codes themselves as particularly valuable ways ofpresenting ethical values to engineering students because they only involve basic rule keeping.Since the directives of ethics codes often conflict, the students must be taught to apply theprinciples behind the codes, rather than naively following the codes without understanding theintent. Van Gorp and van de Poel3 point out that ethical decision making related to engineeringdesign is especially relevant at two stages in the design process: 1) during formulation of

history of creating artifacts to meet society’s needs engineering is believed bymany people to be free of societal influence and “outside the checks and balances of socialorder” 1. Technical professionals are generally unprepared to understand or participate in socialrole and norm development that is critical to team success. Additionally, technical professionsare struggling to discover and develop new operating paradigms that are consistent withengineering being as much a social process as it is a technical process.Current SituationIncreasing external public, regulatory and special interest group participation in engineeringdesign comes at a time when the current generation of design engineers is least prepared toappreciate and accept non

A contextualized learning approach [4-5] inengineering education has been shown to improve student motivation, confidence, andconceptual understanding in a variety of studies [e.g. 6-7].To meet this “design gap” in our curriculum and to address the need for human-centeredcontextualized design experience for our students, we developed an upper-level elective courseentitled

the turbine engine design process from engine cycleanalysis through component preliminary design.In conjunction with the rigorous thermodynamic analyses, the texts are accompanied by basiccycle analysis and component design software tools the students will use in the follow-oncourses. These software tools implement the thermodynamic analyses presented within the textand therefore the students can more easily understand the results the design tools are givingthem. In all courses, students are required to complete hand-calculations so they understandwhat the tools are doing. The tools then allow them to easily iterate their design in order to meetspecified or derived design constraints.Turbine and Rocket Engines CourseThe Turbine and Rocket
