Since atypical capstone course is taken by students near the end of their undergraduate studies, it buildson knowledge acquired from earlier coursework, and it makes use of technology to demonstrateachievement of soft and technical skills.Kettering faculty considered this body of work in reviewing the course/thread/capstone sequenceof study for an undergraduate mechanical engineer.

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)programs have embraced concepts, such as “innovation”, “entrepreneurship”, “socialentrepreneurship”, and “humanitarian engineering.” Creative problem solving is about beinginsightful and recognizing connections among concepts; some of which may appear unrelated.Unlike analytical thinking, creative problem solving relies on flexible and dynamic mentalprocesses using the whole brain1. Therefore, creative problem solving demands divergence fromthe usual patterns of thinking, and it is accomplished most effectively within a team. The STEMdisciplines seek to solve the World’s problems with a well-rounded education and motivation byaddressing challenges through the brainstorming of solutions

This paper outlinesthe advantages of employing industry-standard calculation software within undergraduatecurricula on mechanical design.Author’s BackgroundThe author of this paper is a professor emeritus of engineering technology at the University ofDayton in Dayton, Ohio. He started his academic career in 1966 teaching a variety of courses inthe Mechanical Engineering Technology program and he continues to teach to this day. Besidesthe course in Design of Machine Elements, he has taught most of the major courses in theprogram and has contributed to the development of the curriculum and
easily applied to problem solving inthe U. S. Army. All cadets are required to take two or more courses in InformationTechnology and/or Computer Science. At a minimum, a cadet can take two classes inInformation Technology which teach basic problem solving as part of their curriculum.Additionally, some students select a three course engineering sequence in computerscience which further develops their problem solving skills. Finally, those cadets whomajor in computer science are exposed to advanced methodologies such as an object-oriented approach to problem solving. This paper examines the approach to teachingproblem solving within the introductory core information technology course (IT105) andthe first course of the Computer Science major (CS301
discussions. Peter Drucker in his bookPost-Capitalist Society describes the journey from a capitalistic society to a knowledge societyby saying, “knowledge is the only meaningful resource.” (p. 42) The function of management isto apply existing knowledge and to define what new knowledge is needed and how it can beused. “That knowledge has become the resource, rather than a resource, is what makes oursociety ‘post-capitalist.’ ” (p. 45) 1 The study of knowledge management becomes increasingly important in engineering andtechnology as several forces converge: · marketing to global customers · competing with new providers of goods/services · growing computer networks and increasing use of information technology
