Session 2460 Engineering Education & International Management Initiatives Arthur Gerstenfeld, Maria F. Flores Worcester Polytechnic Institute - Worcester, MassachusettsAbstractThe purpose of this paper is to describe a project, which has been in work for the past two years,which we believe, has several implications for education. This project has been partially fundedby the Department of Education, Business and International Education Division. While we allagree that the economic and technical world is smaller and closer every day, we do not agree onhow we should handle that in terms of educating
, the successful processes of the past and the associated“lessons learned” must be clearly communicated to future leaders and proponents of the “Raisethe Bar” initiative. Much has been learned from the experiences of the past – and these hard-learned experiences should guide the future direction of the initiative. A quotation (from Adlai E.Stevenson) comes to mind: “We can chart our future clearly and wisely only when we know thepath which has led to the present.”This is one of several scholarly papers that will be written and presented in recognition of thetenth anniversary of establishing CAP^3. The collective papers will provide engineeringeducators and practitioners with a description of the history, lessons learned, and next stepsrelated
• continually re-educate him/herself • operate effectively within the policital, ethical and economic forces of the world • apply his or her skills to practical, real-world, complex problem situations.The ABET 2000 criteria require engineering educators to examine their entire curriculum —from freshman to senior level courses. The current study, however, sampled only enteringengineering students, so in this paper we focus our discussion of engineering education change tothe first-year. Even before ABET 2000, many engineering colleges began to revamp the first-year engineering experience to include increased hands-on design, technical writing, oralpresentations, and team-based projects (Dally & Zhang, 1993; Dym, 1994; Augustine, 1997

A paper detailing the results of that Page 12.628.2conference and delineating guidelines for how K-12 engineering education works best anddefines key challenges confronting the field was published.2Clearly, there is a movement by the engineering and engineering technology communities to gaina better understanding of the K-12 issues that impact enrollment at post-secondary institutions,and to generate research to answer the question of how stakeholders from many levels – K-12teachers, university professors, industry, and government
throughout a College of Engineering).Since the S-L projects are designed to not add more class or homework time for students (byreplacing existing “paper” projects), projects that meet real community needs and that helpstudents achieve academic objectives in the courses are difficult to create. Service-learningprojects include direct and indirect involvement of the students with the community. Directinvolvement is, of course, the ideal for the students and the community to obtain maximumbenefit of learning from each other. While the goal remains to maximize the direct projects,these projects are not always practical for all the students in all the courses. For example, not allthe students can travel internationally.

difficulties with conceptgeneration compared to experts in the field 2, 3. In less-experienced engineering designers,deductive reasoning has been observed, which leads to additional, and sometimes too much,problem analysis4. They have trouble generating diverse ideas and often fixate on a singleconcept5.What accounts for engineers’ success at generating diverse ideas? What aspects of their overall Page 15.282.2approaches to concept generation and their local approaches to developing each concept are theyaware of and consciously apply? This paper presents an empirical approach to the study ofcognitive processes in design idea generation. We examined

The first component was long interviews with seniormanagers or executives from organizations purposefully selected to participate based on thecritical case identification from the first phase of the study. The second component wasintegration and synthesis of existing data and the findings derived from the interviews. The finalresult of the study was a force-field analysis that provided the basis for recommendations thatwill guide decision making relative to curriculum and program development designedspecifically to address regional industry needs. This paper will discuss the research method,results, and the issues that the study revealed relative to industry needs as well as the structureand status of the program as it
enhance the services of localcommunity service organizations that lack the technical staffs and/or resources to take fulladvantage of current technology. The potential benefits of service learning have motivated theDepartment of Freshman Engineering at Purdue to begin implementing service learning into thefirst-year engineering courses. 143 students participated in an service-learning experience atPurdue University in the Fall semester of 2003. Student and community partner evaluationshave shown initial success and in depth investigations are underway to characterize theseexperiences.Introduction Over the past ten years, engineering has been undergoing a reform of its educational models.We have seen a significant increase in emphasis on design
, and 2-person team designs of their aircraft to mission specifications. The course went on to introducespace flight issues, and a perspective on the various fields of engineering. Student performance,and assessments of the course, showed high levels of enthusiasm and participation. Many aspectsof design, usually postponed to the senior capstone course, are seen to be appropriate forintroduction to first-quarter freshmen. INTRODUCTIONThe questions posed in this paper are: a) To what level can students coming fresh out of highschool learn Flight Vehicle Design, in their first 8 weeks in college? and b) will they appreciatethe experience? The genesis of these questions, and the process of answering them, are
