For instance, Cornwell 4 developed a concept mapfor particle kinematics, an essential topic in dynamics, to help students understand therelationships among kinematics concepts and organize the material in student‟s minds.

helping engineers at avery early stage of their careers has been a rewarding experience for industry practitioners. Byinterfacing with faculty members, cooperative efforts are more easily developed on projects atboth academic and industry levels. Recently, industry practitioners have indicated their interestin having faculty members make site visits to better foster these relationships. As industrypartners have returned they have adjusted their presentations to make them even moreinteractive. Most of the teams have become very adept at engaging the students and having fun.Table 2 contains some specific comments from first-year engineering faculty members. Table 2.

importance of DEI in engineering. It gave us a deeper understanding of ourselvesand each other, bringing us closer as a group. I often wished that our class periods were longerbecause our discussions got so involved that we got out of class late every class. We were engaged,thinking critically, listening, and bouncing ideas around. All while learning about DEI issues inengineering education and the industry it was a gratifying experience. I learned so much withoutneeding to take notes, watch mind-numbing PowerPoint presentations, or listen to a lecture to tryand decipher what was important and what was not.All these factors ignited my interest and passion for George Mason, the Engineering Department,and DEI topics.

Kevin reported: “So definitely more about the engineering design process and really how it relates to something as simple as 3D printing. I think I always looked at engineering as this field of mathematics and science that I could never be a part of. Because I always struggled with science. And I don't know if it was just the teacher or the concepts. But I just knew and had this built in my mind that I'm not good at science. And so as engineering and with the advancement of technology and computer programming, and just seeing how companies and organizations are bringing it into the school setting, I

Keeping that in mind, the main objectives of the Introduction to Mechanical Design course were the following:1. Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, statistics, science and engineering2. Ability to design a system, component or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints3. Ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems4. Ability to use the techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary to engineering practice.

Another compelling reason for hands-on experience in laboratory is preparation for research.This is often overlooked in these arguments, but lab can be a place where the student makes uphis or her mind that research may be interesting or not interesting to pursue. In my own personalexperience I can remember one lab in particular that was not particularly exciting, but stirred myinterest in research, because it was set up like a research project. Similar anecdotal stories havebubbled up from our students in my teaching experience at Villanova and elsewhere. In our laboratory

Students from entirely differentprograms, like Human and Organizational Development and Engineering, areencouraged to work collaboratively on joint projects. Opportunities to share their ideaswith other entrepreneurs are made possible. The course is meant to teach students howto dream about new ideas and how to take new business ventures to the marketplace.
