Session 3202 Aerospace Engineering: Integrator for Cross-Disciplinary Learning Marilyn Smith, Narayanan Komerath School of Aerospace Engineering Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta, GA 30332-0150AbstractAerospace Engineers have a tradition of innovating across discipline boundaries. Each new flightvehicle design is a challenge requiring the application of advances in different disciplines. Thefast-changing technological marketplace makes it critical to prepare students to absorb andintegrate knowledge from any
projects. Such anapproach will produce engineers capable of imparting knowledge integrated from a holistic viewand applying a systems approach to practical solutions. The old principles where an engineerunderstands a single system and attempts to assemble the resulting systems from that perspectiveare no longer viable. Engineers of the 21st Century will face issues in an exploding environment,expanding their vision from local issues to worldwide concerns while interacting with businessesglobally.Learning how to be productive contributors in our continuously changing world is the challengeof the engineering student.

: Including engineering concepts in elementary classrooms is anew phenomenon. Articulating reasons that elementary teachers might want to modify theirexisting practices to include engineering provides participants with a larger context in which toset their efforts and tools to explain and advocate this idea to others.Begin Workshop With An Activity (or Two): The first sessions of an EiE workshop are alwaysactivities designed to introduce teachers to technology, each other, and the engineering designprocess. Our “What is Technology?” activities help teachers understand that technologyencompasses more than computers and devices that use electricity; in fact, technologies haveexisted throughout human history. Our “What is Engineering?” activities engage

Both passages suggest thatrepresentation as a means of effective communication may have inherent problems.In a broader sense, science and technology routinely rely upon visual representations toefficiently communicate concepts and summarize information. By “representation”, it is meantthat some visual symbol (often simple in nature), diagram, or other communication device isemployed to represent or model a more complex “real” object. Often the represented object is infact “real”. For example, a mechanical engineering text may present a simple diagram intendedto represent an actual pump (see Figure One). Sometimes the represented object is an
Session 2354information technology integration in today’s military systems. 1 This survey, part of acurriculum review, entitled “Curriculum 21,” was the primary reason for instituting a secondcourse and was an input into the process that defined the make-up of that course. The results ofthat study are reported in more detail along with the initial response to that study in the form of anew course.2 The Academic Dean’s desire was to look at how we could get this material into oneof the required courses in the technical core that all non-engineering students must take.II. Technical Core Improvement GroupIn the year 2000, the Academic Dean formed a committee, the Technical Core ImprovementGroup (TCIG), to examine the entire technical core. This

We believe that the emphasis on humanitarian engineering will prove to beparticularly effective in drawing women and minority students to engineering, andthereby promote campus diversity. We also expect it to be attractive to a broad spectrumof engineering students.We will focus on our existing strengths – in energy systems, geotechnical andgeoenvironmental engineering, remote sensing, signal processing, and image processing,and new technologies for “sustainable Engineering,” and in emerging engineering Page 8.647.1disciplines including, bioengineering, information systems, and micro-nano

This paper describes thecontent, implementation, and assessment strategies of the first two course offerings, anddescribes the key initial findings.IntroductionScientific and technological advances during the 20th century have shifted the emphasis of theUS economy from manufacturing to information, communication, and high technology.Continuing US economic and technological leadership will rely in part on engineers who canrecognize, understand, and integrate new developments in information technology,nanotechnology, and the life sciences. Engineering education programs must be responsive tothese trends and adapt existing curricula to train new generations of engineers who are able tofulfill the changing needs of our society.A significant growth

Assessment of Podcast-Enhanced Learning in Engineering Education Kurtis G. Paterson, Ph.D., P.E. Michigan Technological University Department of Civil and Environmental EngineeringAbstractPodcasting, a technology that lets anyone create and distribute radio- or TV-like showsover the Internet, is growing at an exponential rate. Current estimates suggest there arenearly 20 million podcasts, up from about 3 million just five months ago, and only 200two years ago. While the technology offers exciting educational possibilities, universityfaculty are still ruminating about its use in learning.This paper outlines the integration of enhanced-podcast episodes into a

, curriculum development or enhancement has been launched at many institutions byintroducing new nanoscience/technology courses. Although such efforts are necessary andvaluable in their place, however, efforts should also be directed at bridging the gap betweennanoscience and engineering to provide future engineers with the necessary educationalbackground in multiscale technologies.Classical elementary engineering mechanics courses (statics, dynamics and mechanics ofmaterials) are taught in most engineering disciplines as essentials for the professionaldevelopment of engineering students. This paper will focus on the implementation of some ideasand modules for material mechanics to include problems at the nanoscience mechanics. Thepaper will explain

Page 12.941.3Traditional engineering classrooms, however, are technologically unequipped to teach thecomputer skills required by industry10. This is primarily a result of limited lecture time. In thetraditional classroom model, the instructor’s lecture time is limited to teaching mathematics andtheoretical concepts. It is common for students to learn computer skills on their own, or withinthe framework of a laboratory assignment outside

the issues covered by the rules of the agreement has received considerable attention in recent months: theexchange of professional services across the border with Mexico. This increased attention is rooted in a numberof circumstances, among them the U.S. presidential election process. On a purely rational level, the issue of legal immigration of Mexican engineers could almost be dismissedon the basis of its relative magnitude. Currently the U.S. issues about 2500 temporary entry visas to Mexicannationals in all professional fields combinedz. Even if we assume that 80% of these went to engineers, the totalwould amount to about 1/1000 of the Engineering/Technology employment in the U.S .s, and to about 1.6% ofthe number of graduates of

One of the expected outcomes of the third year studio is that the projectsdemonstrate the students ability to effectively apply what they learned aboutmanufacturing to the design of their projects. This studio therefore seemed a good placeto include course content related to the technology embedded in the product itself.The Use of the Laboratory The new course was to begin by assigning the students to choose between twoprojects, a portable CD player, or an electric guitar. The industrial design students wereto ‘dissect’ the product they chose as a group, under the guidance of the teachingassistants, who were graduate students in engineering.
