, it is not unusualfor a student in engineering to repeat a course. However, at UT Martin, the GPA that is reportedon the transcript is based on the most recent grade earned in a course. Thus, the GPAs for thesecond and sixth row students in Table 6 would reflect actual courses taken since these studentsdid not repeat any course. The GPAs for all the other students in Table 6 will be artificiallyhigher than a true GPA reflecting all the attempts made. Since this GPA computation isunalterable due to computer constraints in the program that archives the grades, this presents aunique problem in terms of predicting success in passing the FE exam for the program

Enron took its ethics code very seriously, at least on paper, as noted in a 2000memo penned by CEO Ken Lay: “I ask that you read them [“commonsense rules of conduct”]carefully and completely and that, as you do, you reflect on your past actions to make certain thatyou have complied with the policies. It is absolutely essential that you fully comply with thesepolicies in the future.”1 Similarly, Tyco’s board of directors established as a goal “highstandards of honesty, integrity, and ethics throughout the organization.”2 Yet corporate

The Next Generation ScienceStandards (NGSS; NGSS Lead States, 2013) call for “raising engineering design to the samelevel as scientific inquiry in science classroom instruction at all levels” (p. 1). Reflecting thisemphasis on engineering as a core idea, recent reforms include proficiency in engineering designas a key component of college and career readiness (Auyang, 2004; Carr, Bennett, & Strobel,2012; Duderstadt, 2008; Kelly, 2014

,analyses of award winning products, and a case study of a long-term design project, DesignHeuristics capture the cognitive “rules of thumb” used by designers to intentionally vary their setof candidate designs[23]. These strategies appear to be ones that expert designers employautomatically, without consciously deciding to do so[24]. The heuristics were individuallyextracted across multiple concepts from multiple designers to reflect a useful level of abstractionin describing how to alter design characteristics to create new ones[25]. The resulting set of DesignHeuristics capture 77 different strategies, each of which can be applied independently or in tocreate new designs[26].The set of Design Heuristics is packaged as an instructional tool for

. Instructional Design, on the other hand, is the systematic and reflective process oftranslating principles of learning and instruction into plans for, instructional materials, activities,information resources, and evaluation [1]. Teaching refers to the learning experiences that arefacilitated by a human being. Smith and Ragan [1] identifies three steps in instructional design inthe following way: a. Identifying the Goals through Analysis – This involves consideration of the learning outcomes to be achieved, background of students and the nature of the teaching activity such as lecture, workshop, and lab work. b. Development of an Instructional Strategy – This is the planning of how the instruction will take place

In DFM, a more functionally constrained project could accomplish the same thing.• Building the Connection between Function and GD&T This follows from the previous point and reflects the challenge noted earlier that students experience the greatest difficulty when they are required to come up with the correct controls, and more so specific values of tolerance that will result in a desired function. In industry, this experiential knowledge has been acquired over time and is captured in standards and procedures for dimensioning and tolerancing the specific products that are designed and manufactured. Though it is difficult to reproduce this in an academic setting, tooling design again represents a good application
