- Anonymous Engineering is a bridge between fundamental research laboratories and manufacturingindustries. Undergraduate students need research experience to be introduced to theinterdisciplinary nature of product development and manufacturing. Research experiencecomplements the undergraduate education that is concerned with the basic concepts of scienceand engineering. The author, in the last three years, has involved five undergraduates through testing newideas to develop material processing and manufacturing technologies. These idea-based projectsare termed by the author as "creative projects". Each creative project is completed in twosemesters.

Engineering and Department of Computer Science & Engineering The University of Texas at Arlington AbstractThe University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) is implementing AURAS, the “ArlingtonUndergraduate Research-based Achievement for STEM collaboration”, as a combined effort ofthe Colleges of Science and Engineering to increase retention of incoming first-semesterfreshmen in these colleges. The goal of AURAS is to use research-based approaches and bestpractices to increase the retention of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) majors,particularly women and other students underrepresented in STEM. Specific objectives dovetailto meet this goal, with program components
to continue business at home. The U.S. counterpart, Japan, has also movedsome of its operations overseas because of lower labor rates. However, in recent years U.S.companies had more success in competing globally by employing various methodologies andembracing latest technological innovations. Some of these methodologies and cutting edgetechnologies are explained next.IV. Concurrent EngineeringIn order to meet the consumer’s requirements and remain competitive internationally, anincreasing number of U.S. companies are abandoning once dominant conventional engineeringor over-the-fence practices that are largely sequential. These companies are increasinglyembracing the principles of task-oriented Concurrent Engineering (CE) to overcome the
realizations, can also be found in this paper as well ascomprehensive laboratory development undertaken by the individual programs.With the focus of aiding the reader in setting up a more formal HFCT laboratory, a briefoverview of the market based on the authors’ experiences is shared. There are now many vendorsthat provide a variety of HFCT equipment from small experiments to larger units to fuel cellsintegrated with other alternative energy demonstrators. Identifying the best and most economicalHFCT equipment can still be a challenge. Among the most notable companies that provideHFCT instructional laboratory equipment are Heliocentris, Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies(Horizon), US Didactic and Hampden Engineering Corporation.

exercises were structured to help students be moreaware of new innovations and discoveries in science, business, and technology and consequently,to increase students’ awareness of the importance for life-long learning. The student exercisesrequired to students to read and summarize relevant information, and the summaries werereviewed in a classroom setting. Students found the exercises to have improved their writingskills and enhanced their understanding of the importance of life-long learning. Small changesin the process are to be considered in future courses.IntroductionIn addition to the five “hard” skills that primarily emphasize technical expertise, Criterion 3 ofthe 2013-2014 ABET Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Program1 lists six
Session No # 2151 THE “NATURAL HOUSE” PROJECT: AN EXPERIMENT IN LEARNING BY DOING Ali Uddin Ansari, Ishrat Meera Mirzana Mechanical Engineering Department Muffakham Jah College of Engineering & Technology Hyderabad, IndiaAbstractThe “Natural House”, a design and construction project of Centre for EnvironmentalStudies & Socioresponsive Engineering (CESSE) at Muffakham Jah College ofEngineering & Technology (MJCET), is directed at involving engineering students in a“real life” project with direct social benefits. The Centre’s primary objective is to
engineers. In order to better understand the needs and makecontributions more effectively, it is important for mechanical engineering students to learn basicand relevant medical knowledge through interdisciplinary courses and get ready for a job in theorthopedic industry. Student-centered learning is a key to success in dealing with new learningdifficulties for interdisciplinary courses. WWW-based e-Learning, problem-based learning(PBL) and design-based learning (DBL) are commonly used approaches to student-centeredlearning. Current trends in medical education suggest a move toward PBL, with an emphasis onstudent-centered education and use of information technologies, such as interactive visualimages3. A group of students are asked to solve
course content are foundunder “Science and Technology”. One goal of the engineering editorial board is to build thecollection and the traffic in engineering so that engineering will become a member of the top-level subject list, not a category under Science and Technology. Anyone can browse the materialin MERLOT, follow the links, and use them. Still, engineering educators are encouraged to join.Membership in MERLOT is free, and enables you to contact other members with similarinterests (see Member Directory) and help build the MERLOT community. Membership doesnot require you to contribute or review objects or otherwise serve.Learning objects enter MERLOT upon being added by a MERLOT member. Any member canadd a learning object by clicking on

See Fig. 1 foran example of a question from one such standard spatial ability test, the Mental Rotation Test[11], which was developed based on classic psychology research by Shepard and Metzler [12]. Figure 1. Example question from the Mental Rotation Test (MRT) [11].The use of CAD software during introductory design engineering courses has been shown toimprove the spatial ability skills of engineering students [4-7]. Sorby and Baartmans [4]developed a course at Michigan Technological University entitled “Introduction to SpatialVisualization” to improve the spatial ability of freshman students. The course included topicssuch as isometric and orthographic sketching, flat pattern development, and rotation of objects.Data

Engineering Technology-centric course. Inaddition, an online learning experience should not additionally impact students’ affordability,self-paced learning ability, and peer interaction on group assignments.Additionally, one must consider the student learning process and self-motivation while offeringonline courses in the Engineering domain. Several kinds of literature in past discussed theseaspects [8] - [10]. This literature discusses teamwork, group discussion, defining a goal, andcooperation. A highlight is also given to project-based Learning (PBL) – a successful methodthat fosters creativity, independent research, realizing theoretical concepts in practice,cooperative communication, and time management. The PBL can fail because that
