Newman’s approach to liberal education is that of “enlargement or expansion ofthe mind,” a process in which university education helps students develop skills necessary forintellectual expansion.11 Heywood12 introduced the idea of engineering literacy being

The Digital Learning Management System (DLMS) hasthe potential to change the perception of high school physics and, ultimately, to improvestudent outcomes. This learning tool has been developed by a leading STEM educationalnot-for-profit Canadian organization. The tool appeals to digital natives (high schoolstudents) and incorporates: mind mapping (discovery based learning), experts on call,gamification, all

designed to create a space for students to try on a criticalmindset about technology in their classes, so they may eventually take that perspective into theirinternships and careers [7,8]. The first feature aims to heal the modern mind/body fracture byhelping students develop a sense of how bodies and emotions contribute to knowledgeproduction and engineering design. The second feature provides students with analyticalapproaches grounded in STS theory (e.g., locating power, interpretive flexibility,democratization of S&T, etc.) to ask questions about their everyday encounters with engineeringeducation and technology. The third feature consists of data collection techniques (e.g.,interviews, participant observation, visual representations, etc

to the passive student’s mind [2, 6]. Known as the “banking method” of teaching [7],The belief that teachers hold the facts, and it is their job to deposit them in the minds of students stripsstudents of the knowledge they bring with them to the classroom and separates their lived experiencesfrom the content they are learning [8].With engineering education heavily influenced by the engineering community, these ineffective teachingmethodologies persist because many professors believe that “I learned this way and now I am a successfulengineer, so it must work” [9]. This results in engineering educational experiences that concentrate toonarrowly on content and discount broader personal development [10].Calls to reform the way we teach
#4. "Students who do not persist lack will-power or volition." Some faculty members may believe students lack a work ethic or a motivation to learntrait. Engineering faculty members are encouraged to keep in mind the importance ofunderstanding the situational aspects of motivation as investigated by several researchers inrecent years. Paris and Turner90 argue that, “analyses of motivation should consider thecharacteristics of individuals in specific situations because a person's motivational beliefs andbehavior are derived from contextual transactions" (p.213-214). They further point out “Webelieve that motivation waxes and wanes according to ones history of success and failure and therelative incentives provided in different
during the design process. How do we as educators emphasize the importanceof including materials selection during the simulation prototyping phase when both topics can bequite challenging for students?We in the Ansys Academic Development Team understand how critical it is to showcase the powerof this combination to students during their undergraduate engineering and design degrees, so thatthey are prepared for their careers. Both simulation and materials selection benefit from real worldexamples within the classroom, allowing students to connect their previous understanding to thenew topics being shown. With these two factors in mind, we are creating case studies showcasinghow materials selection, using the Ashby materials selection methodology

Review of Living Learning Communities and their impact on first year engineering college studentsAbstractTraditionally, first-year college students do not have a community of like-minded peers withwhom they are able to learn. Adding to first-year engineering college students’ (FYECS)struggles is the fact that many students do not have a mentor in their related field and are unableto start building their professional repertoire, network, and/or practical skills. Living LearningCommunities (LLC) can offer a platform for postsecondary institutions to increase recruitment,engagement, and sense of belonging for students who live in an LLC. LLCs have been describedin the literature as themed living and learning
