Session 0575 Suggestions for Teaching the Engineering Research Process David J. Lilja University of MinnesotaAbstract: In the process of becoming engineering educators, most professors have successfullydeveloped some fundamental skills that are necessary (although not sufficient) to become asuccessful researcher. However, they often have no clear idea of how to pass this knowledgealong to their students beyond the general approach of carefully guiding their students’individual research efforts. A sense of not knowing where to begin this type of mentoringprocess can
compares planning a course with planning a research project. For TheAerospace Institute this analogy has been modified to an analogy between course design andsystems engineering, which is a concept very familiar to its instructors. This paper walksthrough this methodology and offers suggestions for implementation that should be useful in avariety of educational environments. Examples are provided throughout to illustrate theconcepts. INTRODUCTIONThe Aerospace Institute was established in July 1994 to integrate key corporate educationalresources toward The Aerospace Corporation vision to be the world’s leader in space technology,planning and system engineering. Since then as a part of their charter, The

There are those students who areintrinsically motivated to learn for the purpose of getting educated, prepare forindustry, and have a self determination about their educational path vs. thosestudents who are less motivated, less enthusiastic and need more help and paymore attention so they can gain the knowledge in the class and be successful.Using this teaching style opens up a productive classroom conversation.

The Big RacProblem DefinitionThe purpose of this project is to design and build a lockable longboard rack. This rack willprovide space for students to keep their longboard safe while they are in a building, as well askeep the walls and floors of the building clean from damage.This project has the potential to be extremely useful and valuable to many parties. First off, therack will offer students a place to store their longboards without worrying about their boardsbeing stolen. Second, the longboard rack will keep buildings much cleaner, as the walls inbuildings are scuffed up and damaged from longboards being leaned up against them. With thelongboards out of buildings, maintenance will not have as much to clean, which will be morecost
