in Appendix B.7. DiscussionThe use of PIV technology in fluid flow research is well established and widely accepted.Results from the measurements provide very valuable information about the flow fields to theresearchers and engineers of multiple disciplines. Consequently the aerodynamic design of anautomobile can be improved and the combustion process in the engine inside the sameautomobile could be optimized. Nowadays the technology has also been applied in the area ofMEMS, biomedical, and physiological research and in many other areas.Fluid mechanics is a highly visual subject. During the teaching process one must take fulladvantage of this fact. FLOWEXTM ePIV gives the opportunity to achieve this to its full extentmaking this technology

The educational objectives are to exposestudents to the open-endedness nature of professional engineering discourses, to appreciate theinterconnectedness of knowledge disciplines and the multidisciplinary nature of professionalengineering practices, and to instill into students with skills and knowledge which are convergentwith the higher levels of Bloom’s taxonomy. This new view , which complements the moretraditional component-based approach, involves the integration of biological research withapproaches from engineering disciplines and computer science. The method results in more thana new set of risk assessment technologies. Rather, it

students are introduced to a“flatter” instructional environment; all participants have dual roles as students andinstructors who are embedded in a collaborative environment where all learncollectively from each others’ experiences, even the instructor. We also discusshypothesized benefits and plans for assessment.IntroductionGlobalization1 has put engineering education2,3 and the profession at a challengingcrossroad. On one hand, the impact of rapid technological innovations on modernsocieties has been amplified by the globalization of the economy1; hence, betterliving standards afford increasing equity in education. Despite this fact, students’graduation percentages in U.S. engineering schools have been decreasing over theyears 4-5 with the

Students learn how to manipulate designparameters, evaluate “what if” scenarios in the design and relate cost to design.Introduction:In recent years the engineering design process has changed as the tools and methods forthe engineer continue to improve. The traditional design process is linear in that onephase is often dependent upon the completion of the previous step. Today the designprocess is concurrent with iterations continuing to occur much later in the design cyclethan was possible with the traditional design process.The integration of rapid prototyping technology into the Engineering Design Graphics(EDG) curriculum is expensive and beyond the resources of this two-year collegeengineering program.

been described as conforming to a personality type1that one does not immediately associate with reflexive habits. The typical engineer is reported tobe concerned with order and certainty and therefore to be averse to ambiguity, to have a rathernarrow range of interests, to be not given to introspection and not much interested in people. Andyet for many years now reviews of engineering and engineering education around the world2have called for engineers to rise to the challenge of a global environment characterised by rapidsocial, environmental and technological change3. That is, the modern engineer is asked to dealwith ambiguous and changing circumstances and in a social and environmental context.Like similar reviews in North America (ABET

A quick glance of the topic lists suggests that the Design Tools course is a laboratory course,rather than a theory course. The course meets once a week for a ninety minute lecture and twicea week for a two-hour laboratory session. As our mission is to educate engineers, we purposelydesign the course to balance the presentation of practical skills with an effort to stress importantconcepts that will hold true even as technology evolves to make today’s design tools obsolete inthe future. Reviewing the structure of Design Tools reveals how we balance practice withtheory

First, there are predictableevents that occur when the pressure of an environment is manipulated. Second, there is great deal ofsatisfaction when a engineering and/or scientific concept is completely understood. The workshopattempts to accomplish this task by focusing the participants on the pressure-related physical phenomenato be understood, and then requesting the participants to explain the observations by a satisfactory theory,successfully describe that theory with a mathematical model, and ultimately characterize the model'sperformance by repeatable observations.
