In Frenchengineering, a problem is typically solved from first principles20.Following the German approach of methodological principle of design, the general requirementsfor the task are that it must be a challenging, complex, and an open-ended, real-life problem,which requires specialization and division of labor within the group. The task has to be within anengineering and technical subject with no standard solution, have multiple possible concepts andsolutions that conflict between time, available resources, and completion within the giventimeframe so that the team has to make decisions regarding which features to

To normalize the data,percent of total credit hours or total number of courses was used to calculate the percentage ofthe curriculum that is flexible (elective) versus required over total hours. After this quantitativescore for flexibility was determined, a qualitative analysis of the tracks was performed looking atdiversity of track offerings. The same analyses were repeated for the Top 20 Mechanical [2] andElectrical Engineering [3] programs as a comparison.For the internal study of tracks in the local program, data on track membership over the past 10years was

Itultimately envisioned engineering students as prospective humanitarian social advocates ofinnovative solutions to sustain infrastructure, mitigate the impact of extreme events, and improveliving standards in a global society. Therefore, the program was conceived to develop theengineering, leadership, and innovative thinking skills required by engineering students tosucceed in a local, regional, national, and international economy. The program activities includedattending lectures, working in teams, participating in technical tours and cultural and socialinteractive virtual sessions. Students who completed this course were expected to: 1. Be able to apply sustainability principles to engineering solutions to address societal needs. 2. Be

They are primarilymechanical and technology engineering students, some of whom are known to remain on campuswell past 3:30 a.m. in the laboratory, preparing for a competition that already has paid hugedividends for several of them. Despite carrying full course loads, club president and otherFormula SAE members frequently spend 60+-hour per week working to turn their dream into areality. That is when the car they have designed and assembled competes in Formula SAE at theMichigan International Speedway outside Detroit. The PNW students’ car is powered by
students who mostly agreedto all questions. Among the rest, 5 students disagreed and remaining 3 gave mostly neutralresponse.

Engineering students differ in their development of spatial skills, andthis difference may affect their performance on certain tasks. To help students in enhancing theirspatial skills, we employed augmented reality technology in the classroom to present the 3Dmodel of the complex 2D figures from the textbook. We performed a small study in one of thecourses offered at Texas A&M University at Qatar. We conducted

, civil engineering programs haveseveral curriculum requirements. One such requirement is the application of principles ofsustainability, risk, resilience, diversity, equity, and inclusion to civil engineering problems [5].International Virtual Exchange (IVE)With the rise of globalization, cross-border collaboration in professional industries, includingengineering, is increasingly common. This shift necessitates intercultural competence as a vitalskill for today’s engineers, alongside their technical expertise. Global competencies involve theability of individuals or teams from diverse cultural backgrounds to work together effectively,embracing multiple perspectives.Universities are addressing the need to develop intercultural competence in

For this work, we define upper-division mechanical designcourses as courses focused on the analysis, detailed design, and implementation ofpredominantly mechanical systems, mechanisms, and machine components. These coursesgenerally build on both topics learned in foundational mechanical engineering subjects (e.g.,mechanics of materials, dynamics) and earlier exposure to the engineering design processthrough cornerstone design

Page 24.247.3IntroductionIn spite of targeted efforts to expand diversity in the engineering workforce, only marginalimprovements have been made in diversifying engineering education. Today, the majority ofstudents who enroll and graduate with a bachelor’s degree in engineering are white males 1,2. Tomeet the quantity and quality of engineers the nation needs, educators will need to do two things.First, they must “tap all talent” (p.16) 3 — attract a broad group of individuals who are presentlyunder-represented in engineering. Second
technologies could be used as aneducational method to teach the design process. Students participated in three anonymoussurveys. The surveys were administered at: (1) the start of the fall semester to all students(honors and non-honors) for baseline data, (2) after the first 3D Print experience (a car), and (3)after the second 3D print experience (flying disc). Findings indicate that 3D Printing basedprojects are perceived to be both interesting and relevant by students; further there were nostatistically significant differences between male and female or honors and non-honors studentsin terms of their prior experiences with the technology or in their interest in learning about thetechnology.IntroductionNational attention has been given to the need to

We have also invited experts from industry and government institutions to participate in these classes. 2. The Chemical Engineering program has also made an attempt to organize with the Chemistry professors the teaching of the basic Chemistry courses, specifically on the freshman chemistry courses. Many of the students who changed major from Chemical Engineering attributed their decision to the difficulty of the freshmen Chemistry courses and their worries of the Chemical field to be the same. 3.
