others. But how does constructivism apply to engineering education? Within the constructs ofengineering education, constructivism supports learning activities that are relevant and engaging,where learners become active participants in problem-solving and critical thinking.Constructivism in engineering classrooms encourages learners to test ideas and approaches basedon prior knowledge and experience, then apply the knowledge to new situations; in doing so,they integrate new knowledge gained with pre-existing, intellectual constructs. An examination of constructivism from an ABET perspective reveals similaritiesbetween ABET’s “A-K” guidelines for designing engineering curriculum and the goals andobjectives of constructivism3,11

contexts for instruction since the materials used in them andtheir inherent geometric constraints are directly linked to important components of materialsengineering education. To illustrate, since ultra high molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE) is used in orthopedic bearing wear components, it is possible to conceptually linkthe required mechanical properties of bearing components to the effect of the degree ofpolymerization, examine the difference between semi-crystalline and amorphous plastics, andprobe wear properties. Arterial stents are often made from shape memory materials which areexcellent venues for hands-on learning about phase transitions.

However, the developmentand assessment of engineering judgment presents multiple pedagogical challenges, necessitatingrobust conceptual frameworks, scaffolded learning approaches, valid assessment methods, andwell-defined learning objectives. Francis, Paretti, and Riedner [5] note a significant gap inengineering education literature addressing these needs, leaving both researchers and educatorswith limited approaches for studying, teaching, or assessing engineering judgment. This gapbecomes evident in hypothetical student questions such as “What constitutes good engineeringjudgment?” “How can engineering judgment be improved?” and “When should I hold withholdjudgment?” While these questions might invite oversimplified

the impact changes in configuration has on vehicle dynamics. ‚ The results from the pre- and post-test surveys show that the course has a considerable impact on how students felt about their engineering education. The use of experiential learning in the vehicle dynamics curriculum increased students’ opinions of their opportunity to have hands on experiences, use modern engineering tools, and solve problems that were similar to what they expect to see in the workplace. This outcome shows that using simulation to provide authentic learning environments provides educators with a means of following the guidance provided by ABET and the National Survey of Student Engagement, with
