According to this qualitative feedback, the studentshave not suffered a lack of ability to use foundational Mechanics of Materials background due tothe introduction of Vis-MoM.

theatreschools made their educational programs more technical to address this increase in complexity,some of the shows became much too technically based to be handled by the more traditionallytrained theatre technicians.The University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) is a relatively young institution. While it has hadsome engineering courses offered since the 1960’s, its College of Engineering was initiated inthe late 1980’s. With the exception of a limited number of technically based businesses as wellas a US Department of Energy presence, very little industrial base exists in Las Vegas. In fact,the desire to diversify the economy was one of the motivations to set up the College ofEngineering at UNLV.In the early ‘90s a series of discussions took place

This process begins by the willingness of members of the initialCoP to be “boundary crossers” and join other organizations. In our case, all of the three authorswere already members of at least one of the proposed partner organization (ASEE and AERA).And two of the authors were members of all three communities (ASEE, AERA, and POD).Once these partner communities or organizations have been identified, then discussions canbegin with the respective core group(s).

The firststage, dating back to the 1980's and infused by the 1982 Lax report 9, was recognition of theparadigm shift in which computation was accepted as a third methodology, joining theory andexperiment as the basic techniques of scientific research and engineering design. The secondstage of CSE occurred in the 1990's and marked its infancy 10-12.

The use of writingas a learning tool makes sense because writing skills are closely related to critical thinking skillsthat are essential if students are to synthesize, analyze and correctly apply course material.Furthermore, writing is an active process and, as such, is an efficicient pedagogy.

Not only did having a parent as anengineer create the perception that becoming an engineer is a realistic goal, but it also reinforcedscience self-efficacy and supported the student becoming committed to the goal of becoming anengineer.Financial Motivation Page 10.997.1Studies have shown that in some cases money is a
