The student’s homework and exams werealso retained as data.The studentThe student was born with minimal eyesight, never had the use of both eyes, and becamecompletely blind by early grade school. At the time of the course, she had progressed to junioryear status in the Mechanical Engineer program. It was not possible for her to take the standardengineering graphics class because the CAD modeler used a visual interface with high resolutionand situationally adaptive icons within the program.Assistive Technologies3D printed partsParts with a maximum dimension of 3 inches and a minimum feature size of ¼ inch were usedfor practice and homework
outcome assessment of students’ ability to comprehend, analyze, andresolve ethical dilemmas through case studies have been proposed in the context of engineering7-8. Finally, Davis and Feinerman5 proposed a questionnaire to assess ethics based on the contentof the material taught, the discipline and students’ class standing. However, none of the assessment Fall 2017 Mid-Atlantic ASEE Conference, October 6-7 – Penn State Berksinstruments and approaches described above is able to fully show the progressive developmentfrom personal moral values students have when they start their engineering education to theprofessional ethical behavior required at graduation, and the correlation that exists between thelearning stages and the learning

Students from other colleges also participate, and have included students frombusiness, psychology, international studies, industrial design, dentistry, speech and hearing,occupational therapy, and food science. Many of the product development projects employMBA students in the role of project manager.The students follow a formal design process with design review phases that include problemdefinition, conceptual design, systems (or preliminary) design, detail design and final design.Each team has a

The reasons for selecting Covidien included the opportunity to experience a highly regulated environment (FDA), the range of disciplines represented (mechanical, materials, biomedical, electrical, manufacturing, etc.), the compelling nature of the products and the healthcare industry in general, and the company’s interest in piloting such a faculty internship in their R&D facilities. The author agreed to Covidien’s suggested duration of six months, but limited the position to four days per week, reserving one day each week for ongoing research projects and other lingering responsibilities at Smith. Given the timing of the specific project on which the author was to work, both parties agreed the internship should start in early

devotes itself to the theoretical and computational modeling of thermo fluid and energy systems. His interests span both low and high speed fluid mechanics, multiphase flows, hydrody- namic and acoustic instabilities, engine internal flow fields, vorticity dynamics, combustion, alternative fuels and CFD. His research activities since 2008 have materialized in over twenty publications in first- rate journals, book chapters, and conference proceedings. His work on flow modeling for two after-bodies trapped vortex combustion has led to the establishment for new design correlations for the TVC technol- ogy. His research interests focus on CFD, thermal fluids, heat transfer, energy and alternative fuel.Dr. William F. Pratt

team members were from mechanical engineering.These data represent input from almost 25% of the teams participating in the competition. Thispaper describes the pilot data collected from the survey.ResultsTeam DiversityThe survey asked team members to self-report the numbers of female and racial/ethnic minoritystudents on their team. Fourteen teams had more than one member respond to the survey and thereported numbers were averaged by team. Those data are summarized in Table 1. Because thesedata are based on self-report of perceived race and ethnicity, the numbers may not represent thetrue team demographics. The average team membership is 31 students, with a high of 45 and lowof 17. On average, female students comprise 12% of team membership

Sharif continued with graduate studies in Materials Science and Engineering at University of California, Irvine. He earned his MS and Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering in 1995 and 1998, respectively. Upon graduation, he accepted a postdoctoral position at Los Alamos National Lab, where he worked on development of ultra-high temperature structural material among other things. In 2000, he accepted a tenure track faculty position at University of Michigan, Flint and stayed there for two year. Finally he joined the
different journals and conference proceedings. He has served as an investigator for research projects sponsored by National Science Foundation, Ford Motor Company, and the US Army. Before working at Indiana State Univer- sity, he was a faculty in the University of Louisville for 10 years. He also has over four years of industrial experience. He received his D.Eng. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Lamar University (USA) in 1999, M.Sc. in Materials Engineering from Isfahan University of Technology (Iran) in 1991, and B.Sc. in Metallurgical Engineering from Tehran University (Iran) in 1988.

programming amicrocontroller is introduced to help students with their two multidisciplinary design projects,i.e., a well-defined project during the first half of the semester and an open-ended project duringthe second half. The course is a required course for students majoring in aerospace engineering,chemical engineering, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. Occasionally there arestudents from other majors such as computer science and materials science. Students work inmultidisciplinary teams in both lecture and lab throughout the semester.The open-ended design project starts around week 6 of the semester. The project schedule isshown in Table 1 with the topics for each week highlighted. The first two weeks are conductedduring 50

At the same time he was named Roberto Rocca Endowed Research Chair Professor in the Electrical Engineering Department. In December 2010 he received from the Alumni Society of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, IME, the recognition for being the teacher with the best IME spirit. He was elected by the students as the ”Generations Best Professor” for four times in the last three years. In January 2013 he received the Romulo Garza Prize (about U$D 18,500) for his contributions to develop applied research linked with the needs of the Mexican Industrial Sector.
