Knowles described SDL as "a process in which individuals take the initiative, with orwithout the help of others, in diagnosing their learning needs, formulating learning goals,identifying human and material resources for learning, choosing, and implementing appropriatelearning strategies, and evaluating learning outcomes” [1, p. 18]. SDL skills are essentialcognitive skills for workplace [2] and society [3] that can be consciously cultivated over time.Self-Directed Learning entails autonomy and taking responsibility, many students may find thesecapabilities challenging to cultivate as instructors often bear significant

In fact,product dissection style projects have been around since the mid- to late-1990s [1]. Hands-onprojects are often used in two applications: 1) to gain a deeper understanding of the course theorythrough application, 2) to motive learning of engineering topics. In this work the latter is thefocus for using a hands-on project in a first year engineering course. One goal of the hands-onproject development is to motivate the students make them excited to study mechanicalengineering. A second goal, is that the students leave the course with an introductory levelknowledge of the engineering design process. Specifically

AbstractAs engineering faculty, one of our core responsibilities is research. To be successful, you willneed to work with and mentor students, especially Ph.D. students. How should you find thesestudents, and once connected with them, how should you direct them? Unlike teaching, wheremyriad books and conferences can help you become a better teacher, there are few sources thatwill show you how to become a successful research mentor in any academic field, and fewer stillin the field of engineering. In this paper, three engineering professors with collectively morethan 100 years of experience on university faculties share their techniques, together with theadvice provided by more than a dozen highly successful faculty members and faculty developers.1

In recentyears the number of projects involving the use of programming software such has MATLAB hasrapidly grown. This growth in the mechanical engineering field has occurred for two reasons: 1)it helps provide students with more exposure to programing which is desired skill in industry and2) allows instructors to assign problems that would otherwise be cumbersome to solve by hand.When designing an engineering curriculum, it is important to consider problems and projects toincorporate concepts from Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Project-Based Learning (PjBL).PBL
