Specifically, the builtquality of the final prototype was improved in projects that focused on mechanical design, butthese improvements did not extend to other types of projects or to other late steps in theengineering design process. We discuss our findings in terms of the spacing effect, and othermeans by which engineering design behavior might be reinforced.Control yearThe control year of this design course was based around (a) a semester-long project thatculminated in an alpha prototype, and (b) a series of 1 to 3-week

Industry addresses the issue of new engineersby assigning senior engineer mentors, having careful design reviews, and developing anunambiguous culture of safety where all stakeholders are on the lookout for unsafe practices.Before we delve into a specific senior design case study, we want to outline a general frameworkfor incorporating safety into such a project: a.

andsuccess is commonly measured using exams scores or letter grades at the end of the semester.In an undergraduate engineering curriculum, the many different types of classes pose challengesand difficulties for students. To achieve a letter grade B or better, some courses are moredemanding and require more effort than the other courses. For instance, Fluid Mechanics isconsidered one of the conceptually challenging classes at the California State University, LongBeach (CSULB). Students are challenged to integrate knowledge from their prerequisite classes(math and statics) to understand the Fluid mechanics concepts and principals. Specific topicscovered in the course include Fluid Statics, Fluid Kinematics, Pressure Variation in MovingFluids

with. The purpose here is to offer a new way tothink about the development of the professional engineering educator. In this respect,the paper focuses on:(i) the cognitive processes that faculty would follow as theygrow and learn more about teaching and learning,(ii) the discipline-basedindustrial/practical experience they need to acquire in their locale to add to theirrepertoire as “practitioners” of engineering, and (iii) the institutional initiatives,including administrative support, encouragement, and resources. What is needed is tocreate a change in culture within the institution, the department or college, to generatea comprehensive and integrated set of components: clearly articulated expectations, areward system for good teaching
