tools to design gears, where the user needs to enter the relevant dimensions and the software generates a gear of standard size. The resulting gear is shown in Figure 2f. This last module was designed to give a deeper insight into the complexity of the mechanical engineering design process, as a combination of modeling, mathematics and geometry concepts.

months. The students tend to be more motivated because they receive course credit for the research. The regular assignments from the senior design course (proposal presentation, end of fall semester presentation, poster, final presentation, team meeting minutes, etc) also make it easy to monitor and manage student progress. b) A clearly defined research scope and objective: Available ITL methods (such as PBL, case-based learning) use problems that generally have no real ownership, nor is there an actual presentation of solutions to the client. In RBL, the supervising faculty member owns the research and therefore can clearly define the scope, objective and deliverables for the research team and

Of these broadrecommendations, Criterion 3 (Figure 1) directly addresses student outcomes: what students areexpected to know and be able to do by graduation. Criterion 3c in particular addressesengineering design abilities.(a) an ability to apply knowledge of (b) an ability to design and conductmathematics, science, and engineering experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data(c) an ability to design a system, (d) an ability to function on multidisciplinarycomponent, or process to meet desired needs teams

It is basically a piston/cylinder device filled with water. The piston islifted using a pneumatic cylinder, reducing the pressure and producing cavitation. Information,video, and directions can be found on the blog created by Nigel B. Kaye (see figure 7)8 If a livedemonstration of cavitation is too difficult to achieve, there are many images and

The goal of providing this information was to enable the SME to assess if the object waspotentially dangerous, not
job it was, they just wanted tohave the skill set to get employed” (lines371-373). The skill set he refers to here is his vision ofwhat engineers do as they engineer, which may or may not have been his vision of theengineering design process the NGSS advocates for. For clarification I asked him, “kids justwanted to go from A to B, you called that a ‘process’ so that would be like kind of lock-step,like, then we do blah, then blah, blah. And Sam was like, No, let’s look holistically and see a bigpicture and work on it. Is that close to what you were saying?” He replied simply, “yes”. Iconfirmed again, “Make sure I got it right.” “Yes” was his reply again. In summary, Evan’sengineering epistemology centers on what he thinks engineers do. He

However, if you can marry these two concepts together, then you have hit a home run.In our school, the Computer Engineering Technology curriculum is set up so that programming andembedded circuit design is taught via a series of courses: (a) Introduction to ‘C’ programming, (b)Digital Design and Embedded Systems, (c) C++ and object orientated programming and (d) anIntermediate Embedded Systems course. After completing this series, the students can continue onwith an Embedded Linux course, as well as a Software Engineering (process and agiledevelopment) course.
