Micromanagement and too many rules can hinder anycreativity or progress. An incompetent manager, who says no just to show his/her command,loses the respect of the faculty, and their enthusiasm. The Chair/Dean must be supportive, bysupportive does not mean give sweet vague words, with no real support.

skill for learning design thinking and influencing the designoutcome.Design thinking in engineering education and challenges:Design thinking reflects the complex processes of inquiry and learning that designersperform in a systems context, making decisions as they proceed, often workingcollaboratively on teams in a social process, and “speaking” several languages with eachother (and to themselves)(10). In cornerstone design courses, design thinking skills thatsupport an iterative loop of divergent (creative) and convergent (critical) thinking throughindividual and team project-based learning environments are needed in addition toinstruction of graphics and visualization tools. Critical thinking skills have a moreestablished history in academia

The data collected provides information in five constructs which are:interest/enjoyment, perceived competence, pressure/tension, perceived choice, andvalue/usefulness. These constructs provide a perception about students’ interests, belief, andfeelings about the international project that reflect their level of motivation and confidence tocarry on the tasks.

’ qualitativeunderstanding of basic concepts and principles. CI’s typically consist of multiple choicequestions with one correct answer and several “distractors” that reflect common misconceptions.The misconceptions are usually identified through formal research processes, such as using focusgroups in which students answer questions and explain their reasoning in an expository manner. A CI can be used to assess both individual student learning gains and effectiveness ofpedagogical strategies, particularly by measuring differences in performance via pre-test (beforeinstruction) and post-test (after instruction). If the CI is not appropriate as a pre-test, then itsability to measure learning gains might be established via other correlations, such as with

Criterion 3 modifies and restructures the previous 11 outcomes (a)–(k) intoseven new student outcomes (numbered as 1–7).15Notably, the seven new outcomes omit the phrase “life-long learning.” This motion represents asignificant time of reflection in engineering education: a time when reform to accreditationrequirements could dramatically change the way engineering is taught. Despite the potentialremoval of the phrase “life-long learning” from the prescribed outcomes, professional engineerswill still need to possess the characteristics of a life-long learner to be effective. To this end, ourfindings demonstrate several components of life-long learning that are currently being capturedby different engineering programs. Of these current components

. Parametric solid modelling and surface modelling are the basic CAD technologies. Solid modelling creates a model that has the filled volume. It closely represents a physical object by having data of physical properties such as mass, density, along with the geometric information. Surface modelling, on the other hand, generates the outlook of the objects as a surface model but doesn’t reflect the physical properties as in a solid model. Solid modelling is preferred over surface modelling in AM as it has simpler representation of geometric information and provides information that is useful to generate tool path. 4. 3D scanning technology enables reverse engineering of a physical part

Additionally, the moderate correlation coefficientsbetween the inventory scores and exam scores fall in the range of values found in previouspublications comparing concept scores to problem-solving skills16. This fits with the observationthat much of the final grade and the exam scores reflect assessments of problem-solving ratherthan conceptual understanding.

In order to encourage participantsto reflect on each pair in the STEM Semantics Survey, some values are switched. For example, a7 might be a very positive reflection of science in one question (ex. “Fascinating”), but a verynegative one (ex. “Unappealing”) in the next item. Therefore, all of the values were firstconverted so that very positive = 1, and negative = 7.
