for a hospital in the United Statesmay not work well in a hospital in Ethiopia. Students learn that just because a solution mayappear better for a context they are familiar with doesn’t mean it actually is better for the contextin which the product will be used. By learning about and engaging with the difficulties ofdesigning medical devices for a low-resource hospital, students must also reckon with the rolethat engineering plays in social and economic inequalities, both globally and domestically.Products like medical devices tend to be designed for communities with the most money to payfor them and the most resources to build them, and therefore often can’t meet the needs of thosewho need them the most.With these ideas in mind, the surgical

One way to demonstratean Engineering process is to supplement with a lab book. Student team designed a supplemental lab bookwith a few things in mind. The first was that we wanted the user to be able to understand the basics ofplastic extrusion and the mechanics behind the process.

Out of these,resource based approach is identified as the one close to engineering students. Engineeringstudents need to realize that they can easily identify the opportunities if they keep their minds inthe ‘Polling Condition’ (refers to basically anything that periodically checks (polls) for data or acondition). However it needs a clear understanding of the capabilities of the science ortechnology they are considering. This is a

Method A study was conducted with the above objectives in mind. Forty-five undergraduate industrialengineering students participated in this study. These students were enrolled in a sophomore-level engineeringdesign course that surveys methodologies for designing engineering systems and provides the studentsexperience in the application of these methodologies to the design of a specific engineering system.

Moreover, the experience of fluency and expertise in one area showsstudents they are capable of a high level of expertise, for which they can strive in future.With this philosophy in mind, we have focused on six essential topics in the mechanics ofmaterials. Within each of these topics, we have identified a limited class of problems, which arebuilding blocks for solving many problems in mechanics generally, and for which we seek todevelop in students a significant level of expertise.The topics and the associated problem types are: · Axial loading: A single rod of multiple cross
