However, they have become as common asslide rules in the 1960’s or hand calculators for the last four decades. There is now hardly anengineer without a smart phone. The question becomes, why is engineering education not usingsmart phones and tables (mobile devices) for complex engineering analysis? Two main concernscome to mind immediately, their screen sizes are small when compared to traditional desktop orlaptop computers, and they are relatively slow (but still faster than desktop computers in the1980’s).

The Mechanical Engineering department has been in the top 10 for BSMEgraduates nationwide for each of the last 27 years, with one of the department’s leadingeducational and research areas being vehicle and propulsion systems. In the mid-1990’s,Michigan Technological University was one of the first universities in the world to establishdistance learning with programs designed specifically to support the automotive OEM's and the Page 25.173.14electric power industries.

test will look at two billiard balls.Since I only see recent high school graduates, I consider it part of my responsibility to improve the problemsolving skills of the students and (in many cases) to break some of the bad habits that they may have learned inhigh school. It amazes me every year how many engineering students have forgotten the formulae for volumesand surface areas. So they get some practice early in the semester on homework and entrance quizzes to ensurethese basic equations are fresh in their memory. The students that I see are usually weak in converting units.

These labs may include fluid flow development, boundary layer visualization, laminar/ turbulent flow visualization, flow around a cylinder, sphere or a wing of infinite length, and etc.The design constraints are as follows:• The design fits in the existing lab space; the length is not to exceed 3 meters.• Cost to manufacture a prototype of the successful design is one-tenth in comparison to a commercially available device roughly priced $30,000.• Flow Quality Standards enforced in the working section: o

There are over 4,400 undergraduates and 2,100 graduate students inengineering and computer science. In this paper, “engineering” includes computer science, butnot construction.In Fall 2010, ASU had three NSF grants which supported transfer upper division and graduatestudents. The primary scholarship funding for transfer students was an NSF S-STEM grant(#0728695) called CIRC/METS (Collaborative Interdisciplinary ResearchCommunity/Motivated Engineering Transfer Students) for 2008-2012. If transfer students in thisCIRC/METS Program graduated and continued on to graduate school full-time right aftergraduating, they could receive a scholarship

IntroductionSince the late 1970’s, ethics has been increasingly emphasized in engineering curricula. Manyprograms have introduced elective courses in engineering ethics, whereas others haveincorporated modules on engineering ethics in professional ethics courses or included them intechnology and society courses.

Type theory, as defined by Jung, Myers, Briggs, andothers7,8,9, describes an individual’s personality in terms of dichotomous traits: extraversion (E)vs. introversion (I), sensing (S) vs. intuition (N), thinking (T) vs. feeling (F), and judging (J) vs.perceiving (P).
