Globalwarming, though, is just one energy-related area where people find themselves ill-equipped toknow what to believe. A survey conducted by the National Environmental Education andTraining Foundation (NEETF) finds that people are often bewildered, or worse yet, may chooseto ignore information because it is deemed “too complex” to understand1. Certainly, we shouldexpect college graduates to be able to ask the right questions and then evaluate the answers theyreceive, but in the area of energy usage, Americans are clearly at a disadvantage. According tothe NEETF survey, only 12 % of Americans

One of the reasons for the development of ME-4511 Engineering Analysis was totake problems out of this limiting context, so that students would be required to approach theproblem methodically rather than simple applying a template solution. Ultimately it will be theability to solve a wide variety of problems, rather than topical knowledge, that will be of long-term value to the engineering graduate.

betweencomputational fluency and manual problem-solving. While students gain extensiveexperience with computational tools, they also engage in enough hand computation tosucceed in traditional courses. This dual focus prepares students not only for academicsuccess, but also for real-world engineering challenges.Unlike other computational calculus initiatives, Calculus for the Modern Engineerfundamentally reorders the curriculum, starting with definite integration. This intuitivetopic, tied to sums and areas, provides a strong foundation before abstract concepts likesingle-sided limits, continuity treated correctly, and differentiation. The course employsproject-based learning, with robotics case studies demonstrating the practical relevance ofcalculus, making

The second framework involved the use of small, self-directed, product-development studio teams. Since different teams selected different approaches,direct comparison of their experiences is included in the paper.The following sections detail the results of these two changes and their influence on the overalllearning objectives for this course.

Initially, I viewed college as a learning experience, trying everything you can get your hands on to eventually find what you truly love, but I find that this engineering program does not let you do that. The Environmental Engineering program still interests me intensely, but I also want to try Shakespeare, religious studies, and philosophy courses not possible to take if I want to graduate in four years.Another student writes: After my first semester in the college of engineering and applied sciences, I have concluded that I am not meant to be an engineer. I feel I can help mankind and the environment in other ways, I do not strictly have to be an engineer in order to do this. Environmental engineering is

StrengthsIntroductionIt has long been known that there is much to be learned from failures in engineering. Engineeringcontent aside, we can also learn from the primary causes of these failures. A 1976 study byMatousek and Schneider involving 800 cases of structural failure resulting in 504 deaths and 592injuries found that when engineers were at fault, 36% of the failures were due to insufficientknowledge on behalf of the engineers [1]. In most circumstances, this source of error should beavoidable. Students in engineering and technology are exposed to a vast range of topics in theirgiven discipline making complete mastery of all topics difficult. As instructors it is important toknow that it is unrealistic to expect that 100% of the students leaving the
-onlaboratory practices promise an engaging experience, effective teaching time canpotentially be increased through the usage of remote-controlling capabilities ofequipment and systems: since the setup will be always ready for demonstrations, the bulkof a laboratory session can be devoted to the more important fundamental concepts on themeasurements, setups, system integrations, and component characteristics.We propose to use remote control techniques to provide a complete set of laboratoriescovering optical circuits. We plan to implement laboratories of sufficient generality suchthat subsets of adaptations of this set of laboratories may be used for numerous lower,upper division undergraduate as well as for graduate courses and a wide variety
