The old part isa junction box with instructor added annotations meant to clear up confusion with the provided,hard-to-see dimensions. Even with the annotations, students were unable match the mass orvolume provided in the answer key, which graders use to judge accuracy. The updated curriculumpart, a converging diverging nozzle, solves these problems by providing visible dimensions,allowing matchable mass and volume values, and incorporating aerospace concepts.

The FYE curriculum focuses on introductory programming skills andMATLAB syntax. However, the learning activities, developing geometry calculators and gameslike Tic-Tac-Toe, do not directly apply to their future use cases in lab settings. Gamedevelopment differs significantly from the algorithm development and logic skills required tocreate scripts to assist with a complex, research focused experiments. In response to thatdisconnect, we developed hardware-enabled data collection MATLAB modules to integrate asituational learning experience[1].

The uniqueness ofthe module presented in this work is that it is designed for a first- or second-year engineeringcourse and could be adapted to complement existing design-based courses and expanded to anentire course. Another unique aspect of the module is the way it integrates creative thinking,systems engineering and microcontrollers to engage students in design-build-test real-worldprojects.

Recentsurveys have indicated that simulators are used in most chemical engineering curricula,with an increasing use outside the capstone design course. Equilibrium stagedseparations, process control, and thermodynamics courses are the three most commonsettings for incorporating simulation into the curriculum outside the capstone

ones (e.g., a Riemann sum can be evaluatednumerically to approximate an integral).A Suggestion for Coupling Math and Engineering EducationOne set of issues that arose repeatedly in the workshop discussions was the concern that studentsdon’t see connections between mathematical tools, concepts and principles and their utility inengineering. A related concern was the time lag between exposure to mathematics and itsapplication. The notion of “just-in-time” learning arose repeatedly, and the suggestion was madethat the math courses be more application- or example-driven and be more evenly spread throughthe curriculum, rather than “front loaded” into the first two years. Our group shares theseconcerns, but thinks that the above suggestion is

, the PtD idea has gradually gained acceptance in the U.S. [3]. However,the traditional curriculum offered by civil engineering programs in the United States does notintegrate PtD concepts [4]. It has been suggested that the engineering community will notincorporate PtD into the curriculum until the accrediting body, ABET, includes it in either aGeneral Criteria or the Program Critera. The majority of civil engineering programs in theUnited States are accredited by ABET.

The goal of this project is todevelop a mechanical engineering program where students and faculty are immersed in a cultureof doing engineering with practicing engineers that in turn fosters an identity of being anengineer. This culture of “Engineering with Engineers” is created through changes in four areas:shared vision, reflective faculty, relevant curriculum and pedagogy, and supportive policies. Ineach, a variety of actions create the cultural change, address barriers to change, and ensuresustainability. A common theme unifying these changes is a significant connection to
