all this, is really nice [interview; Raven; 4/23/2015; 1:34 – 2:02].From engineering and non-engineering students alike, we found an increased interest inengineering, as illustrated by this response to one of the open-ended survey questions: I have amuch greater appreciation for structural art and feel more interested in it [survey response]. Onthe survey and during the interviews/focus groups, students described engineering as a creativeprofession. A student explained: I didn’t have an opinion on engineers before, not having any in my family, except for electrical engineering. I thought that they mainly had to do with technology and that is what they did. So, I guess, it definitely changed my opinion on engineers. I know

It has been said that an ideal mechatronic solution wouldbe that where a deficiency of the mechanical system could be cost-effectively compensated bya suitable control engineering solution.

This decsion is motivated byconstraints on faculty time and a student body that appreciates time flexibility. The intent is todevelop "stand-alone" modules where students can access the materials at any time, be tested forpre-requisite materials, have progress monitored, and be examined at the conclusion of themodule. We are striving to have materials that can be used by teaching assistants with littlefaculty oversight. We chose engineering science topics since this is where breadth is needed,and it is a body of material that is relatively stable.

Instead, the current curricula tend to produce academic researchersand/or analysts who can only make advanced computations.The successful practicing civil engineer of the 21st century is much more likely to be amanager, supervisor or coordinator than a mere detail analyst.

The specific goals in developing these modules are threefold: 1. To produce modules with as much practical use to as many students as possible. 2. To determine the optimal applicability of virtual reality to engineering education. 3. To develop a knowledge base of techniques for the display of, and interaction with, scientific and technological information and concepts in a virtual world, that can later be

Quite often, the problems that are solved in PBL programs are not authentic. In order to develop more authentic problems that are required to prepare engineering graduates to solve complex, ill-structured workplace problems, we developed a case library of engineering problems as described by practicing engineers. The qualitative analysis of those stories showed that workplace problems are ill
