Advances in Engineering Education FALL 2017From the Editor This issue contains eight articles that document “advances” in engineering education. The paperscover a wide range of topics, with focus ranging from introductory first year courses to senior cap-stone design. The papers present creative ways of student learning and assessment, including theuse of webpages and other media to better understand complex concepts. The papers address suchcurrently “hot” topics as the blended/flipped classroom, combining ethics with design, sustainabilityand entrepreneurship. Below is a short overview of each paper – happy, and productive reading! Diana Bairaktarova (Virginia Tech) and Michele

The campus is located at the confluence of two majorhighways with most engineering classes scheduled in the late afternoon or evenings to betteraccommodate the needs of these students. Unfortunately, traffic in the Seattle metropolitan areaaround evening rush hour is quite congested and these students lose valuable time getting to campusfor classes and labs.

Engineering Graphics Hands-on Vise Project To promote hands-on learning at Kansas State University, a semester-long project wasdeveloped for the Engineering Graphics course. Although the initial charge was to include 3Dprinting into the re-developed course, the overall scope was expanded to include more hands-onlearning activities. The new project requires students to work in groups to disassemble, measure,model, and reassemble desktop bench vises. Guided from previous research on dissectioncourses, this project helps promote hands-on learning in the classroom while integrating coursecontent together. Engineering Graphics develops visualization skills that are critical for technicalcommunication. In
