As theEngineering Education program grows, it has been proposed that a separate lab section intendedfor Education students could be developed. One reason for this is that the use of a freewareCAD program, such as Google Sketchup, would be beneficial for educators.

This paper presents amethod aimed at fostering deeper learning in calculus among engineering students withoutrequiring changes in the current calculus curriculum. In addition, the alterations presented areengineered to be easily implemented at any institution and can be used by any science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) department that positions calculus as aprerequisite to specific disciplinary content.6.

At the heart of the MILL concept is the use ofteam‐based projects that help students gain hands‐on experiences in design and manufacturing. Itinvolves the coordination of realistic hands-on experiences in multiple targeted courses aroundthe unifying theme of designing and fabricating a selected functional product. These experiencesare suited for easy implementation in the setting of a typical design and manufacturing teachinglaboratory. This

In practicing the engineering profession as a conduit for preparing future genera- tions of engineers, he wants to provide students with both a technical competency and the ability to un- derstand and respect the trust that is invested in us by society. As an educator, he guides future engineers through a learning process that develops a strong technical foundation and the ability to independently cultivate further technical competencies

Computer technologies havebeen applied extensively in undergraduate education, such as simulations that emulate differenttypes of complex engineering processes [22]. These applications have different foci. For example,Jacobson [23] found that a problem-based pedagogical environment involving cases wasparticularly promising in supporting conceptual changes. Liu and Hmelo-Silver [19] presented twoexperiments that demonstrated the use of hypermedia to promote understanding of complexsystems by engaging students in learning functions and behaviors. Besides those applications inlearning complex systems, computer technologies are used to simulate field trips [24] [25] and
