From design, to prototypingto production requires many of today’s engineers to work across the continent or around theglobe. “Cultural diversity is a fact of professional life. Engineers are being employed in ever greater numbers by multinational and transnational corporations and are routinely working across national and cultural boundaries. Engineering projects may take them, for varying periods of time, out into the field--which might be any corner of the globe--or into design workshops, laboratories or head offices which may also be

However, is homework absolutely necessary in engineering classes forour students to achieve these three objectives: comprehension, feedback, and student evaluation?Based on our observations and statistical data, we concluded that homework assignments can bereplaced with recommended

With the changing of modern business practices, employers are saying thattheir engineers must also be – now more than ever – confident public speakers and leaders. Thewidespread change in employers’ views resonated deeply into the engineering educationcommunity, even shaping the criteria for ABET accreditation. Following these changes,engineering universities have experimented with developing the public speaking and leadershipskills of their students in a variety of ways – some successful, while others not as fruitful.Although well-intentioned, many of these experiments get implemented without a thoroughevaluation on their helpfulness to students.

Actually one of the biggest current challenges is energy- itssources and conservation, which feeds into any kind of sustainable design. Lack of thermalprojects in capstone courses also may prevent interested students from making thermalsciences their focal area and future career. The relatively low number of thermal scienceprojects in capstone courses may be due to the fact that the instructors assigned to teachthese courses are specialists in other areas of mechanical engineering.This paper explores these issues through surveying capstone projects in a number ofuniversities. It probes capstone-teaching faculty and reflects on their attitudes towardthermal-science projects
