There has been a recent trend to improve introductory mechanical engineeringclasses to show students immediately the applications of the knowledge they are acquiring in theclasses early in their department [1] [2]. Such identity with the material has been shown toincrease persistence in engineering [3] [4].This paper illustrates a thematic method of examples threaded throughout a semester-long classat the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that tie together introductory concepts that thestudents are leaning and real-world examples from the automotive industry. These examples,which often include video, sound or music, pictures, and real-world specifications, break up thenormal lecture-format class and show immediate applications for

The proposed method will providethe mechanical properties of the part within a single Excel file. This is similar to the informationthat a laptop mounted within the cabin of the aircraft, known as a “tough book,” delivers. Thisinformation is in turn used for critical decisions in any air missions.IntroductionThe use of sensors mounted on critical aircraft components has proved to be a reliable methodfor Structure Health Monitoring (SHM). The main focus of utilizing sensors in SHM is tomaximize the chance of detecting system failure or potential damage with a limited number ofsensors

The surveys inquired about the following topics:examples of structures in the student’s world, load types and magnitudes applied to structures,and application of their knowledge to these real world structures. The initial survey responses confirm the perception of many professors and employers.The students struggled to connect real world structural examples with their knowledge base.Results from the initial and final surveys and the scavenger hunt assignment indicate thatstudents make gains in knowledge

Campell20 uses an enticing approach in hisuse of “model making and breaking”. Students design structures to strict specifications and thenbuild and test the structures to the point of breaking. The appeal to the student is high because itis fun to break things, and the relevance is there for structural engineers, but mechanicalengineering students may still struggle to see the connection to their careers. Sophomore-levelstudents do not yet have the experience to see that the tools used in analyzing structures will alsobe useful in analyzing moving parts--unless we give specific examples.Some real-world problems

Moreover, the curriculum of engineering education needs to cultivate students’capability not only of deep perspective to a particular problem but also divergent thinking.This view is supported by the theory of Conceptual Learning and Development (CLD), whichsuggests that taught theoretical concepts should be linked to related engineering problems 2.With the rapid change in the structure of the competitive market, those talents who arecapable of embarking on independent design and skillful in innovation

Finding the barriers that multidisciplinary teams are facing to be more innovative isa great matter of importance in our educational system. Finding these barriers can help thedevelopment of a better multidisciplinary environment for our educational institutions that bettersimulates the real world scenarios.In this study, we hypothesized that multidisciplinary teams are likely to be innovative.
