PSY students continued to meet as a team following the conference call, with theirprofessors, conducted and recorded the results of lab experiments.

priori categories.MethodologyVerbal Protocol Analysis (VPA) was used to analyze the cognitive strategies of students as theywere solving a design task. During VPA data collection, subjects are asked to think aloud whileperforming a task [15]. From participants’ verbal reports, we can gain insights into how subjectsgenerate and transform information about the problem, as well as how they go about developinga solution.Verbal Protocol Analysis has been used extensively since the 1970’s to study the cognitiveprocesses of engineering students [3, 5, 23, 27] as well as experienced designers [7, 10, 14]. AlthoughVPA is considered the most appropriate method to study the cognitive abilities and processes ofdesigners it is not an assessment tool
Design of Sustainable Water Pumps for Burkina Faso Timothy B. Whitmoyer and David T. Vader Messiah College, Grantham, PAAbstractThe Department of Engineering at Messiah College has partnered with the Handicap s en Avant,(a center for rehabilitation and education of handicapped persons in southeast Burkina Faso) forover a decade. One of the enduring student-faculty projects spawned from this relationship is theModified Rower Pump Project. The long-term vision of this project is to provide a sustainabledesign, including construction methods, allowing local manufacturers to build water pumps aspart of their businesses. The present goals of the project are to quantify the pump’s

design, encourage a mindset in which students seek technicalsolutions often rooted in a specific engineering discipline with little regard for the context in which theirproduct, system, or service may be deployed, the societal or business need(s) it may fulfill or even itsrelations to all the other engineering, business or ‘environmental’ domains that can contribute to success.In order to better prepare engineers with a systems perspective and the competencies to be effective insystem design, there is a need to promote the development of systems thinking in engineeringundergraduates. Coupled to these efforts we also see the merits of seeding this approach even earlier inK-12 communities as part of a movement to incorporate pre-engineering into

to give a more mature group of students,independent research experience coupled with critical thinking, teamwork, andan extensive development of communication skills. Undergraduate research at NJIT has been an integral part of thecurriculum since the 1960’s. In recent years, two other research programs havebeen made available to the students and in some cases grant curriculum credit.These programs are the URE (1990) and the McNair (1999) programs, which aredesigned to recruit qualified students from underrepresented groups andintroduce them to the challenges associated with research. The students areexpected to perform original research under the guidance of a faculty mentor andto publish the results of their research in acceptable

equivalent of 18 fifty-minute lecture sessions together with practical engineering laboratories for two afternoons aweek. The class usually accommodates between 150 and 175 students, they are dispatched ingroups about 25 strong to each of Lehigh’s seven engineering departments where they work insmall teams undertaking innovative problem solving assignments for half the semester. In mid-semester elected or appointed representatives from each group present their discoveries andconclusions to the whole class; groups are then re-configured and the process repeats for thesecond half of the semester. This way every student ha s an experience with the faculty andfacilities in two departments, but every student learns about the experiences of their peers

In today’s global economy, engineeringinnovation is recognized as a continuous, systematic needs-driven process, which is highlydependent upon the provision for lifelong learning, growth, and development of the nation’sgraduate engineers and technologists in industry beyond their entry-level undergraduatebaccalaureate preparation. Because of profound changes in engineering practice for real-worldinnovation, a transformation is underway in the U.S. Science and Engineering (S&E) innovationsystem. A concurrent, nonlinear model of needs-driven systematic engineering innovation, whichis supported by directed scientific research, is replacing the sequential, linear research-drivenmodel of

used on most hob-by CNCs are: • Lead Screws: Ball or ACME lead screws with anti-backlash nuts are commonly used in traditional CNC machines. The lead screws can be chosen with a high start ratio for in- creased speed or a single start ratio to generate more linear force. • Timing Belts: Belt-based systems typically require a pulley, idler(s), and belt clips and can be arranged in either a closed (closed loop belt) or open (belt segment) configuration. Timing belts require constant tension during operation and are prone to stretching during abrupt direction changes, in particular under load. Table 2-2: Comparision of Mechanical Motion Methods
set of data with the question,“How is our imagination being constrained by current social structures in society and when doesit break free from these narrow constructions of engineering practice?” From the set of twelveinterviews, we selected two FG interviews for closer analysis, which had evidence of both“narrow” and “expansive” reasoning. These focus groups were: Malik, Serena, Molly, & Joanna(M+S+M+J) and Dustin & Harveen (D+H) (all pseudonyms). Within these FG interviews, ourco-authoring team collaboratively identified candidate focal segments that: (a) exhibited highly“narrow” design thinking where implicit assumptions about the status quo were dominating theimagination, and (b) exhibited more “expansive” or liberatory design

existingschema to better fit incoming stimuli. The accommodation process represents a change in aperson’s thinking. S/he adjusts to new experiences or objects by revising an earlier method ofinformation processing. In other words, when there is a discrepancy between what a person expectsand what happens (a discrepancy between expectations and experiences), there is a temporarydisequilibration, followed by the process of accommodation. Engineers as problem solvers mustexpect to be disrupted or disequilibrated on a regular basis. They must be able to continually absorbthe new stimuli posed by the problems to be solved by recreating and adjusting their existingschema. We believe that engineering education therefore must include training that
. Taran and Carter,44 Mee and Teune,45and Robillard46 indicate that trust is central to team collaboration in most professions. Taran andCarter state, “Becoming worthy of trust and learning to trust are active processes that require theparticipants to communicate and interact.” (p.99)44 In Morell de Ramirez et al.’s study, in orderto build trust among team members, “students are given a seminar on organizational behaviorand participate in a number of hands-on activities to expose the newly formed teams to situationsthat accelerate team cohesiveness”. (p.434)43 Brown, Flick and Williamson suggest that buildingtrust is one of the important components of social capital that should be taught in engineering.47They summarized that “development of
