a broad set of phenomena in thedisciplines of chemical, mechanical, aero, and materials engineering. In the field of materialsengineering the knowledge of relationships between liquid and solid phase behavior as a functionof composition and temperature is used to understand the formation and evolution of materials'microstructures, which can be used to predict and engineer a material's properties.It is usually assumed that prerequisite science classes provide students with a foundation forapplication of the content and problem solving skills used in engineering applications through aprocess that is referred to as transfer. However, the book, How People Learn: Brain, Mind,Experience, and School2, discusses the fact that there are issues

Thenthat same year in the second semester the principles of design are introduced through the use ofan experience in competitive assessment. Small groups of students work on the investigation ofa single product during the full semester. Along the way they are introduced to new analysistechniques and computer tools while learning in a “hands-on / minds-on” method themultidisciplinary nature of product design.

The birth of Cooperative Education as an important part of theeducation of engineers was the brainchild of Herman Schneider. His foresight in realizing that inorder to fully understand what engineering was about required an immersion in

Collecting, processing, and incorporating self and observer feedback appears to enable our mentors to quickly and effectively develop their skills. 3. Maintaining the level of challenge and the development of healthy rapport appear to be synergistic with exploring what a mentee knows and enabling the mentee to refine his or her understanding.

The project and several of the homework exercises also illustrate commonmajor conceptual mistakes made by students and, often, by practitioners usingcommercial software. 2What is the Finite Element Method?The finite element method (FEM) is a mathematical technique that simulates physicalbehavior by means of a numerical process based on piecewise polynomial interpolationapplied to the controlling fundamental equation. The method has been used extensivelyduring the past thirty years in industry and is now a standard engineering tool for bothanalysis and design. Engineering analysis has always faced the challenge of modeling complex realproblems

This may only be achievablethrough progressive curriculums and effective partnerships between industries,universities, and government institutions. Those partners that make the best investment intechnically competent employees are going to be those that prosper in the 21st century.Students respond with enthusiasm when lectures and tests are supplemented by labs inwhich they solve problems from industry. As the theoretical knowledge is internalized,students become intrinsically motivated search engines to fuel their own intellectualgrowth. To effectively connect with students at this level and prepare them for the futurewe need real-world skills and experiences.In order to

It is the student and the instructor who must work together to insure that this new delivery method is successful.” • Academic Schedules – Participants must be reminded many times of the importance of schedules and withdrawal dates.

Perhapsthere is a balance which could be struck between these two extremes which is particularlybeneficial to the student. It is important to keep in mind how the learning styles of students havechanged over the past decade as the personal computer has become common in all facets of dailylife and as user interfaces have become increasingly image-based. Students are very comfortablewith associating objects on the screen at disparate locations with an implicit process by whichthey are associated (e.g., an equation). They are also comfortable with associating entities otherthan words (e.g., colors, symbols, font style) with information.There are opportunities

However,this paper does not (nor is it meant to) provide a template or recipe for guiding future buildingprojects involving diverse actors. Instead, this paper offers a conceptual framework for inspiringinquiry and discussion among collaborators, especially those from the lower 48 who have neverworked in Alaska before or who have limited on the ground experience with home building inremote Alaska Native communities.That said, it is important to keep in mind that homeowners, engineers, and builders from Alaskado not regularly use terms like modes of complexity nor refer to theories of reductionism versusmultiplicity in their everyday collaborations on building

tentative solutions to the surface of the mind," [10].Expert and effective designers tend to explore and represent their design ideas with "multiplerepresentations" to explore their design ideas more deeply. In turn, this deeper modeling allowsthe designer to explore how the overall system works [2] by accounting for the interactionsbetween components. In contrast, less experienced designers propose "superficial ideas" thatmight not work if built [2] and do not account for interactions between subcomponents thatshape system behavior and outcomes.Team mental modelsWhile the Matrix explicitly addresses individual design behaviors, designers and engineers oftenwork in teams, and therefore team behaviors are also crucial in project success.
