As role models, MCLs’ attitudes andbeliefs about math have the potential to influence those of the children they interact with in themath circles, shaping how they perceive and value the subject. Their responses to this questionwere characterized as described below.Ubiquity and Utility. All but two of the MCLs (Chandra and Harrison) spoke about theomnipresence and power of math, in that it is a broad, multi-faceted discipline, that it underliesmany other fields and real-world processes, and/or that it is simply ubiquitous (i.e., “Math iseverywhere!”). These responses largely included the application of math, with examplesspanning from its use in

Matching design and schematic specifications to a single vendor solution is a necessarybut rarely taught step in engineering. Engineers need parts, but most courses magically provideeither kits, chosen parts, or single-sourced components to speed student focus on the coreengineering topics. Sourcing of parts, however, involves real world process- and people-relatedissues that can add schedule and

If they cannotidentify with the example or demonstration and relate it to their world, it’s merely anotheracademic exercise. It’s irrelevant.

Engineering Problem Solving with MATLAB – Year 1Typically, in the freshman year of most engineering curricula, students take a computerprogramming course taught out of context with respect to real-world purpose, including manydetails that are quickly forgotten. The proposed course is motivated by real-world challengesarising from everyday physics applications. Emphasis is placed on engineering problem solving,similar to a course outlined by Morrell7, using the computer and computer programming as a toolfor analysis and real-time applications, i.e., measurement and control. The philosophy ofintegrating MATLAB programming to solve problems is illustrated in Figure 3 which also actsas a rough week-by-week outline of the course. Everyday physics are used

Thisapproach, too, bears something of the “cost” of substituting meaningful discussions of bothtechnical and social aspects of events such as the 1981 collapse of the Kansas City HyattRegency Hotel and the construction of the Three Gorges Dam in central China for further“depth” in the analysis of one-dimensional bars or of the hydrostatics of dams.

Outcome 2 of ABET Criterion 3 states that students should be able “to applyengineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of publichealth, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economicfactors” [5]. The use of outside opinions to narrow and revise the initial designs allowed thestudent to take specific concerns into consideration. Many of the opinions focused on a concernfor public safety, economic factors, and environmental factors.Experiential, hands-on research opportunities relate important concepts which are delivered inthe classroom to real-world applications.
