The College was started fromscratch in an attempt to change the way students learn about engineering, and to best serve theengineers of the new millennium. Olin College aspires to be bold, flexible, and creative. TheOlin curriculum, with its emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches, teamwork, hands-on design,business, communication, and creativity, is designed to address the National Science Foundationand engineering community’s calls for reform in engineering education.1,2 Olin College touts itscutting-edge campus and engineering programs, and attracts students who desire an “educationlike no other.”3The Olin College mission is to prepare future leaders through an

-learning objectives set forth by ESP II have beenmet, with some categories having a higher degree of correlation than others. From the student’sperspective, this means that ESP II has successfully implemented cooperative learningtechniques to help aid in better understanding course material.The students interviewed also provided much positive feedback on ESP II. Even two years aftercompleting the course, 80% of the students interviewed claim to have retained 75% or more ofwhat they learnt in ESP II. Comparing that to a ‘traditional’ engineering course, Fortenberry et al(5) claim that fewer students leave engineering studies when education programs link concepts toreal-world practice. In the case of ESP II, all projects are based on real-world

theability to solve problems from engineering mechanics. A total of 128 students from upperdivision engineering courses completed several tests of spatial skills and were also asked to solve6 engineering mechanics problems. One of the six problems was merely to draw a free bodydiagram of a crane. In this paper, we examine the quality of the free body diagrams made bystudents to measure accuracy of the sketch, appropriateness of schematic representation andnumber and type of errors. How each of these factors relates to spatial ability will be reportedalong with examples of student work. This paper will illustrate the variation in approach toconstructing free-body diagrams among students with low and high levels of spatial ability.BackgroundEngineers

These programs often“spotlight” the differences between the groups and have the potential to create or reinforcebiases.37 To overcome the limitations that have arisen from these programs and the tendency toassociate with similar others, solutions that socially integrate diverse populations need to bedeveloped. By analyzing the patterns of interactions that occur in engineering, we can begin tounderstand how diverse individuals are incorporated into the social structure. “Social networkanalysis holds significant promise for the

The contribution to tenuresuccess made by specific activities is not clear, yet new faculty must make decisions as to how toallocate their time. Service options may include multiple university and department committeesthat can absorb time and effort. Involvement in research centers and industry related projectsmay lead to research funding and publications but their contribution toward achieving tenure isnot clear.
