firms that adhere toa Six Sigma approach, training on and use of well documented standardized processes is thecultural norm. Mastery of key processes is thought to be an effective way to maintaincompetitive advantage while delivering value to customers [17]. It was in that light that substantialthought was given to identifying processes that would be both core to skill development in Ph.D.student researchers, and would help build a process mastery mentality into the learning outcomesand deliverables of the new course. Further, if students who completed the course were viewedas even budding “masters” of these processes, it was hoped that it could potentially be seen as a“competitive advantage” for students within the larger Engineering Education

student’s attention onspecific details of the part and clear descriptions of them. Similarly, a blindfold could potentiallyfocus a student’s attention on features of the part that would be typically overlooked if seen.ConclusionsThis study supports two conclusions within the limitations of the case: 1. It is possible for a blind person to learn and use the conventions of engineering graphics as applied to orthographic and isometric views. This ability includes both generation and interpretation of these graphics. It should be noted that the student continued to progress throughout the entire course and that her graphic ability at the end was limited only by the length of time in the course; the curriculum did not exceed

thatautonomy engages more positive self-determination. Another interesting finding is that thedifferent provisions of choice and control seem to have more dramatic impact on women than onmen. In addition, competency may also play a role in determining the motivational responses ofstudents.The survey results also help to identify potential curriculum improvement in the future. Forexample, the open-ended design projects focusing on automation do not seem to motivatechemical engineering students. How to come up with remedies to reach this population is anurgent next step. The weekly motivation survey shows a dip during Week 2. How to modifyactivity during that week to keep students engaged is another future improvement. Given that theSIMS curve in Fig. 2

information learned in industrial practices can often lead tosignificant payoffs such as reducing operational cost or improving system performance. Thisinformation, often referred to as “tribal knowledge”, is widely admitted by professional people tobe of great value, and yet has not been systematically archived by most companies. In this paper,we present a conceptual mapping based approach for retaining tribal knowledge. We firstdemonstrate the theoretical framework for this approach that is applied to developing trainingmodules to improve engineering and technology students troubleshooting skills.
