Critical thinking and effective problem solving was described by numerous authors, among themCloete who describes Eight Elements of Reasoning and problem solving heuristic 17 .3. Teaching InventivenessIn technical inventions, the more difficult the task of invention (which in itself is very difficult toassess at the beginning of the process) the more numerous are the initial solutions which have tobe analyzed in order to produce a set of feasible solutions.

In GE103 emphasisis placed on computer modeling (using both AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor) and freehandsketching. On average, there are 275 students enrolled in the course, which is offered in both thefall and spring semesters. This research was based upon results obtained in the Fall 2001semester, during which 298 students completed the course. There were 18 separate sections,each with from 14 to 18 students.The basic course structure entails five contact hours per week. There are two, one-hour lectureseach week taught by one of

team did not believe that thefield trip was an important aspect in the program due to the lack of actual documentation as proofof learning. But the faculty and students had many enlightening experiences, which facilitated theirunderstanding of the technical concepts initially taught in the classroom. So, the research began tocreate a methodology that could be used to assess a field trip. The guidelines for field trip andassessment shown illustrate the historical practices of field trips, give a generic outline applicableto any subject and demonstrate implementation concepts for future field trips.Historical ResearchExperience shows us that preplanning is an important factor in having success on field trips 1.Traditional field trips started in

A mono focus on the technological “how” candistract from the need to consider the 4W’s – “Who”, “What”, “Where”, “When” in applying thattechnology, with an assumption that the new technology is always, somehow, “better”. This needfor focus can be particularly pressing in commercial practice when attempting to support rapidgrowth of market share (e.g., Blitzscaling1).Technology adoption is an individual choice, but may be affected by larger scale initiatives, e.g.,Digital Transformation.

By studying CFCs in this historical context, thestudents can see how the passage of time must be considered in making judgments about techni-cal issues which have broad social and political implications.

Instead, it is the construction ofknowledge in the mind of the learner.4 This constructed knowledge may or may not be consistentwith the knowledge from the teacher, as it is dependent also on students’ prior knowledge andexperience.. For us faculty this means that, what we think we are teaching is not necessarily theknowledge that is being constructed by the student. Research has shown that many pedagogicalstrategies can enhance the effectiveness of this knowledge construction. Active learning is onesuch strategy that can be incorporated

prototype of the project, because of the large required head, aminiature Francis turbine could not be used and thus, a water pump was used in place of an elevated reservoir.Generally, a water pump will pump water through a system using an electric motor to turn an impeller. However, inour case we used this device in reverse, therefore the impeller became our turbine and the motor became ourgenerator. Since the device used for the project was initially intended to be a pump, modification was required tocreate a functioning turbine. To create suction for use as a pump, the impeller was pressed into the pump housing, bending the fins ofthe impeller and causing massive amounts of friction. Therefore the pump housing was bored out until the

So, this woulddefinitely be helpful for undergraduate students taking mechanical vibration, dynamics andvehicle design classes. The students could study the location of various components andunderstand how the selection of spring-stiffness, damping, axle coefficients, and distancebetween axles could have impact on the performance characteristics of the vehicle.
