It also emphasizes the importance of graphical communications anddesign documentation. Communication skills are an integral part of this process and the studentsare presented with opportunities where these skills can be utilized and tested. Considering that theanalytical skills of engineering freshmen in the second quarter of college are at best limited, mostdesign teams seem to follow an incremental approach to the design problem where smallincremental steps are initially taken. If these steps were proven to be effective, then additionalsteps are then pursued until the final goal is accomplished

The use of the mathematical software Mathcad to teach fluidmechanics has proven to greatly reduce the drudgery in solving fluid flowproblems. As an illustration of this learning enhancement, Mathcad is used tomodel the occurrence of critical flow at a change of slope in an open channel flowsituation. The Mathcad software performs efficient iterative and numericalsolution procedures and direct solutions.

situations.The study highlights the critical deficiency in engineering education at preparing students forethical and professional responsibilities in the workplace. Students expressed that theirundergraduate and graduate programs overly emphasized technical skills while neglectingprofessional development, communication skills, and ethics training. We found that thesecurricular priorities affected students’ perception of the culture of academic engineeringdepartments and, subsequently, shaped their own professional values and understanding ofengineers’ duty to society.Despite a handful of students viewing ethics as an unnecessary distraction to their curriculum,the majority expressed a desire for more expansive professional and ethics training

We conclude by examining whether andhow participant decision-making exhibits ways of thinking that are common across these threedomains.Engineering CommitmentsBecause the lessons observed were a part of an engineering design curriculum, it is not surprisingthat engineering commitments were used the most often in the participants’ work. In particular,three of the common engineering commitments emerged as most relevant and useful for theseparticipants: attention to design requirements and constraints; attention to user needs; anddeveloping a practical solution.

The Academy was intended not only to educate officers for the U. S. Army, but also toaddress the young nation’s critical need for engineers—both military and civilian.

The point of the individual discussion was not to delve too deeply into a particulardisaster or individual ethical decision, necessitating a decision tree or other analyticalformalisms. Rather, the purpose of each debate was to extend the thinking of the students andinfuse an ethical framework from which to view historical and current events with theexpectation that this approach would follow the students to more focused case studies that theywould see in the latter part of the engineering curriculum.

The implication for teachingand learning is that instructors need to vary the inputs and have a repertoire of strategies forfacilitating learning. The more ways we find to process material, the stronger learningbecomes. We need to recognize there’s no “one best way.”Learning is enhanced in an enriched environment.

Some NEE may have an independent streak and want to “go it alone”, as though they have to prove that they don’t need anyone else. A better approach is to include appropriate senior faculty in their research and scholarship activities, and certainly in program and curriculum development. This will serve as a lubricant in bringing things to fruition, particularly a well respected and accepted fruition.11. Although needing to be aware of departmental, college, and campus politics, NEE should do their best to stay clear of political drama, at least, until they are tenured.
