atrecognizing that certain phenomena are related to their studies of fluids. For that reasonthe first lab in fluid mechanics is an observation lab in which a series of 10 to 15 stationsis presented to the students. They are asked to sample at least 7 of the stations and toarticulate questions as well as to advance theories about answers related to thosequestions. The stations are selected to pose specific questions that will be answered asthe course progresses. For example, at one station students are asked to drink milkshakesand water through a variety of straws. They are asked to view their mouths as pumps andthe straws as piping systems. They are then asked what factors affect the requiredpumping power for a given flowrate. This is a very simple and

Withoutthe participation and effort of the on-site mentor, this program would not have been assuccessful. Certainly, the graduation rate would not have been as high.The company has experienced downsizing and reorganization. A number of courses have beenoffered for groups of employees.

heat transfer applications have included fins for electronic and engine cooling. Unsteady heat transfer applications have included the design of automobile and aircraft disk brakes. The advantage of this approach is that students prepare their own numerical model, which enhances understanding of the numerical methods and boundary conditions, explore convergence and stability criteria, and move quickly into thermal design studies using the numerical tool that they have developed.Introduction and BackgroundIt is important that students studying heat transfer are introduced to numerical methods earlysince the majority of heat transfer analysis and design in industry is done numerically. It is alsoimportant that

Hollerith’s machine exceeded the Census Bureau’s wildest dreams, reducing tabulationtime from 10 years to three months and saving taxpayers more than $5 million.21 While theoriginal machine used only punch cards designed for the 1890 census, subsequent versionsfeatured key punches and automatic card feeders, allowing for a degree of versatility.21While Hollerith provided the

among engineering undergraduate students, EEI aims to assist students tobegin consciously developing their emotional intelligence, and to be more fully prepared for theirprofessional and personal lives. One of our main goals is to help students to bring awareness oftheir own emotions to their life experiences, and to develop the skills to recognize and work withthe emotions of others.As current research on emotional intelligence (EI) has demonstrated, EI is a significant indicatorof personal and professional success. Further, both industry and academia recognize that the bestengineering students will have well-developed inter- and intrapersonal skills in addition to theirtechnical skills. This paper provides a brief outline of the concept of
challenges.1.2 Serious games for decision making under climate change Serious games can be defined as games or role play used for educational purposes,including in-person, virtual, and online role play [5]–[7]. In many serious games, players workcollaboratively to solve a fabricated but realistic problem [7], [8]. Serious games share a numberof common characteristics, including the ability to capture complexity, to highlight theimportance of effective communication, and to provide space for reflexive learning,collaboration, and dialogue [5]. Because of the complex and collaborative nature of decisionsthat must be made regarding climate change, serious games are often used as tools for climatechange adaptation and planning. Research

research, and early indications that students areable transfer skills into subsequent design courses.IntroductionSmith, Wankat, and Froyd [1] point out in their analysis of historical trends in engineeringeducation, that while design has been important since the turn of the last century [2], theemphasis on teaching design has been increasing in engineering degree programs. In part this isdue to ABET’s requirement of a culminating design experience following the shift to EC-2000about two decades ago [3]. The resurgence of design is also due to: a recognition that designcourses can address a broad range of transferable skills thought important for graduates [4],design and problem solving align with the epistemological stance of engineers [5], the

Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET7) stress thevalue of innovation and individual development of engineering objectives. There is particularconcern related to the expansion of curriculum, specifically, the perceived need to includemore and more topics into an already overloaded schedule. If new topics are to be introduced,it is clear that some topics will have to be eliminated. At both a state and school level, therehas also been a push to reduce the total number of credits required for graduation. Strategiesfor eliminating topics gives rise to this project.Models for streamlining the curriculumWe investigated several models for streamlining the curriculum to compare their pedagogicalvalue and proven success in improving student learning

field, from basic research, to appliedresearch and product design and development. From the first implementation of electroniccalculating machines, the engineering discipline has been one of the most heavy users anddevelopers of computing technology. The ability to use this technology will determine theeffectiveness of the engineering student as they go to industry, perhaps only second inimportance to understanding the basic fundamentals of the chosen field of study. Thus, one ofthe goals of any successful curriculum will be to include training and experience in the use ofcomputing hardware and software. The engineering laboratory is an excellent opportunit y forthis purpose. One of the important aspects of using laboratory experiments
sounds good in theory, but obviously it is desirable to determine the effects of processchanges in the context of actual software development projects. Unfortunately, there are anumber of obstacles that complicate research in this area. Commercial and governmentorganizations are often reluctant to publish data on their own projects and processes, or even torelease this information for inclusion in studies conducted by third parties. In addition, there area wide variety of confounding factors, including differences in organizational structure, targetmarkets, application domains, and the details of previous software processes.Nevertheless, some available data does help to characterize the benefits of applying the PSP andTSP in a software
