. Since many concepts in fluids andheat transfer are difficult for students to grasp, we felt that an approach that substantially andmeaningfully extends simple classroom lecture and textbook work was needed. Theimplementation of this approach at WPI is the subject of this paper.1.1 ObjectivesThe objectives of the innovations reported here were to:• Bring the excitement of discovery into the engineering classroom by stressing real-time acquisition of data and student 'discovery' of fundamental concepts in non-traditional lectures, thus increasing students’ interest in the thermal/fluid sciences.• Allow students to understand relationships between physical phenomena and concurrently developed theory through non-traditional lectures

One possible explanation of this fact is that in thecountries where these systems were developed, the political and economic systems are quitestable, i.e., the external conditions of functioning of academic institutions do not change sorapidly.In this paper we propose a set of criteria that characterize the effectiveness of past activitiesaimed at adjusting to the changing environment and the preparation of an institution forcontinuous changes in the future. As this proposition is based on our experiences with therestructuring of the system of study at the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology,Warsaw University of Technology, we start with a brief review of the latest changes in thissystem.Some of the proposed

While thesesimulations are $open-ended# they have little, if any, design content. Rather, what is needed, isan overall context, a firm foundation of how open-ended problems and simulations serve thewhole design process.This paper describes one dynamics example as prepared by Bedford & Fowler and a custommodule that models a bungee jumper.

Thewritten directions instructed students to generate as many concepts as they could, and to drawone concept per page and label aspects of their ideas.After concept generation, on a separate preformatted post-it© note, students wrote a shortdescription of each idea, and reported on the origin of the concept by answering the question,“Where did the idea come

Department. Eachdepartment, through individual faculty efforts, had begun to offer courses specializing in someaspect of electronic imaging. Each course, on its own, provided a real but limited service tostudents. The need for a harmonized, multi-disciplinary curriculum became self evident to thefaculty members working in the Center for Electronic Imaging Systems. The ensuing discussionsresulted in a very aggressive proposal combining current research efforts with a series of fivenew and six enhanced courses. The new curriculum would provide students with an opportunityto earn Bachelors or Masters degree in the discipline of their choice and a strong concentration inone of three areas of electronic imaging.

These twofactors were selected because they have been shown in other work from the Academic PathwaysStudy (APS) sponsored by the Center for the Advancement of Engineering Education (CAEE) tobe directly related to post-graduation plans and to several dimensions of the undergraduateexperience. We focus on students with positive confidence and/or motivation gains during theirfirst two years of college, and show that these students are distinct from those with negative orno gains in terms of persistence in the engineering profession, confidence in math and

In 2008, the presentation was of a general nature and intended as a very basic introduction,while in 2009, a more extensive unit was presented encompassing both design and projectmanagement. This paper provides information on the current efforts to introduce engineeringtopics at the high school level and where HSE fits into this landscape. It describes the HighSchool Enterprise program and how secondary students and teachers are exposed to engineeringdesign. Some examples of student-project work from the 2008/2009 academic year that conveyhow students engage in the design process are included. Finally, the lessons learned to-date andhow those

Theteams this semester have been focused solely on the revision of old problems and production ofnew problems for students of introductory chemical engineering courses, usually taught duringthe freshman or sophomore year.This paper presents the problems developed during this semester for use in these courses.

It fuses the immediacy of thephysical world with the illusiveness of beauty. Design is driven by a museful urge tocreate; and, it is tempered by the physical limitations of the material world.

The approachinvolves the direct application of derived force-deformation formulas, a procedure commonlyused with axial and torsion bar problems. This direct application of derived force-deformationformulas, referred to by the authors as Method of Segments, is extended to beam deflectionanalysis in order to provide a solution procedure for beams that is consistent in philosophy andapplication with
