outcome focuses on the ability to use techniques, skills and modernengineering tools necessary for engineering practice. These benefits could not be attainedwithout implementing and using softwares with modeling and simulation capabilities as isdiscussed later based on the instructor’s observations before implementing DARWin 3.1.Fortunately, introducing students to such software is not time consuming and could be presentedin few lectures, in addition to extra tutorial as needed, without the need to remove any classcontent. In general, students had a good understanding of how to design flexible and rigid pavementsaccording to AAHSTO 1993 Design Guide. The design process is lengthy and of course timeconsuming with large room for mistakes

, which are then evaluatedusing the problem specifications16. During the early concept generation phase, students oftenbecome fixated on their initial concepts, and may prematurely begin evaluation10, 17, 18. Thisresults in a need for pedagogical strategies to aid students in enriching their conceptual designphase. Instructors must understand how concepts are generated, and how tools can facilitate theexploration of potential design solutions.One challenge in teaching concept generation in engineering is that techniques proven helpful inconcept generation may be slow to be adopted by instructors19-21. Thus, in this study, weexplored how an empirically-validated idea generation tool, Design Heuristics, was integrated byengineering instructors in

design of the DO vehicle is achieved through a 42-week collaboration (across three terms and 2 semesters) between the engineering and design faculty and students. The team synchronizes the design milestones where in the ideation phase a small team of automotive engineering students is assigned to one transportation design student to jointly generate a vehicle concept. This is the phase where the left-brain (engineering world) collides with the right brain (artistic world) and is a critical project phase where both worlds need to create an understanding for each other’s (rational/emotional) drive and motivation. The partnership allows the students to explore creative options and develop unique vehicle concepts that are

means you should beable to answer the student who asks “so what”? You should have a response (orbetter yet, an activity) that explains how the concept described in your problem isuseful to an engineer designing real world products.For example in the bowling ball problem, as the ball begins to roll on the floor,the energy loss due to coulomb friction shrinks to a negligible value. What thismeans for a bearing designer is that you can reduce friction losses by designingbearing surfaces to “roll” on each other. An investigation of journal bearingsversus roller bearings could form a sideline activity. Also an investigation of ballbearings versus needle bearings can be useful in understanding the difficulty ofsupporting thrust loads. For a gear

It is not enough to teach statics and strength of materials. Architects are creators of space and as such they must also understand the inherent strength and weaknesses of the vast array of structural systems at their disposal. There are three topics often debated between structures educators. The first is the question of what should be taught first. Can one understand structural systems without first understanding the fundamentals of forces, load tracing

An important outcome of a mechanical engineering technology (MET) program is afundamental understanding of the mechanical design process, the development of solutions todesign problems with consideration of specific requirements and constraints. This study isconcerned with the idea generation phase of the engineering design process, specifically theideational practices of freshman mechanical engineering technology students. The ideageneration phase is a complex endeavor that involves defining the problem, generating potentialsolutions to the problem, the consideration of constraints of the problem, and converging on themost appropriate solution for the problem. The development of these skills is an essentialcomponent of future innovation

The goal of theprojects was to provide a platform for improved understanding of machine design and emphasizethe importance of programming in mechanical engineering, specifically (1) the fast speed atwhich complex problems can be analyzed and (2) the ability it provides students to be able todevelop creative solutions. Such skills are expected to empower students to solve morechallenging open-ended and/or integrated design problems, and to conduct design projects for amore rewarding experience in machine
