Engineering programs in Page 15.787.3the U.S. universities are using Rube Goldberg for two purposes: to expose younger students toengineering and to encourage engineering students to think outside the box. Rube Goldberg is agreat way to teach basic principles of science like magnetism, gravity, and friction. In addition,Rube Goldberg projects also promote patience and discipline, and assist in maintaining students’interest in science, mathematics and engineering.At Texas Tech University, Rube

view the abovecomments as somewhat discouraging as they indicate the mind-sets of present-day faculty.SummaryIn this paper the authors have shown how the concept of JIT education can be used fordeveloping instructional material. The materials being written and evaluated use an innovativeapproach. It combines the learning of theory, the applications of that theory to practice, and thecommunication of that knowledge to others. Just-in-Time learning is more effective and shouldlead to better retention of that material.

Engineering educators should be mindful of the coursecharacteristics (elective or compulsory and placement in the broader degree program) andstudent characteristics (major and year of study) when considering the transferability of ESIinterventions. These factors also come into play when considering the objective or intendedimpact of the instruction. Ethics instruction can serve different learning goals such as awareness(sensitivity to ethical issues students may encounter), decision-making (ability to take ethicalactions), or

alwayskeeping in mind that an effective solution must create value for someone in society.To tackle this challenge, the University of New Haven developed a series of 18 e-learningmodules covering a broad set of topics mapped to attributes of an entrepreneurial mindset. The e-leaning modules were integrated within regular engineering and computer science courses in ahybrid format (on-ground and online), providing a supplement to topics generally included inthose courses. The e-learning modules are open source, developed with funding from the KernFamily Foundation. Over the past four years, the e-learning modules were deployed outside theUniversity of New Haven at 55 other institutions by 77 faculty. In this paper we present theperceptions of over 1500

The students are not actively participating in their own learning process.Because university rewards learning, students who rigidly follow these kinds of imaginary ruleswill find themselves unrewarded for their efforts. They will not be successful in university andthey will not understand why.
