Forexample, in mining and minerals engineering where in one course a “heat engine” model of mineventilation is used and in aerospace and ocean engineering where an application to propulsiondevices exits, it is possible to provide a direct and natural connection. But in many cases, theconnection is either not immediate or is more related to heat transfer than to thermodynamics.

In both electrical and mechanical engineering, energy is increasingly regarded asa "mature discipline", which fails to attract and inspire the brightest young minds entering theengineering profession. It hardly matters that deregulation of the electricity industry and ournation's increasing reliance on imported petroleum have created ever more pressing challengesfor energy engineers, or that breakthroughs in computers, semiconductors, and chemicalseparation technologies have created heretofore unattainable options for the creation, deliveryand utilization of power.

Many students think theylike the idea of engineering, but don’t really know what an engineer does or what the differentdisciplines are. Many can identify Computer and Mechanical engineering don’t know aboutchemical, aerospace, industrial or Product Design and Manufacturing engineering. After thesecond year of study, students must commit to an area of engineering they prefer. Even afterthis, students change their mind as they learn more about each program.In the 3rd or 4th year, as graduation gets closer, is a student ready to select an area to master?What is

-focused design is necessary for developing entrepreneurial tendencies withinthe minds of engineering students. The challenge, then, is understanding how to effectively instill a customer focus in engineeringstudents, a task that requires knowledge of how engineers learn. As it stands, engineering studentsin our colleges today do not relate well to traditional engineering pedagogy, such as the directtransmission model, which has remained the norm for the past few centuries (Freeman et al., 2014).The current generation of students is looking for a curriculum and educational approach that usesadvanced classroom technology and active learning to engage them in the learning process (­Freemanet al., 2014, Mina and Gerdes, 2006).

Gaining ABET accreditation for theprogram is, of course, a key emphasis item for UAF. As is the case for any new program, we mustgraduate at least 1 student from the program prior to applying for accreditation.

something students do. It requirescompelling problems and well-designed laboratories, studios, workshops, and playingspaces. It demands strenuous efforts and experts to intercede with stories, admonitions,or principles when students fail, as they must, if they are to learn. Most of the learningthat results in the expertise of the practicing scientist, engineer, or poet is accomplishedthrough hands and minds on a task. Just think of the contrast between the activities ofapprentices in a workshop and the passivity of pupils in a lecture hall.If we refocus our efforts on learning, professors can exploit information technology toprovide data, scholarly references, and simulated problems for cognitive workshops. Inthose workspaces, student investigators
