Logic, as does practice, suggests that a campus library wouldbe one of the better places to house equipment intended to improve accessibility to 3D printingand provide students with an informal workspace to extend their learning beyond the classroom.With this in mind, the College of Engineering and Technology’s Department of TechnologySystems approached the main campus library in the spring of 2014 with the hope of forming apartnership to make 3D printing more accessible to the campus community to house a 3D printerin the library in order to make the technology more accessible to the campus community.

Theselessons may also be instructive to other engineering faculty who manage or advise undergraduateengineering projects. To recap, four key lessons learned by the team phrased as suggestions hereinclude 1) keeping the big picture in mind to helps project team members focus on what works toserve the client by effectively meeting the need, not just developing fancy technology, 2) whendeveloping a new product, it helps to start by trying to meet a specific need in a smaller localmarket, and gradually work toward the larger market, 3) grant funding or other support for fieldtesting proves
leading major, complexprojects who have had their own moments of “This is it. This is how I (or my project/career)end.” What can we as engineering educators do to best equip our students to prepare for thosemoments and challenges, and have the knowledge, resolve, and adaptability to solve enoughproblems to get their projects home?This paper explores that challenge and some related lessons that we, the authors, have learnedand which we seek to continue to explore with like-minded educators and practitioners. Our goalis to find how best to prepare project managers that have both the deep knowledge and honedadaptability to navigate their projects and teams through tough, challenging crises that they arecertain to experience.

project itself and the research team were multidisciplinary in nature. Theteam was composed of an undergraduate student, midway through a general engineering programwith a concentration in mechanical engineering, and a professor in electrical engineering. Theproject was a second-stage of development for an idea originally developed for a Senior Capstoneproject. The research group for the capstone project consisted of four students of variousengineering concentrations, who ultimately presented their work at a regional conference6.With the above context in mind, the instructor set out to design a research experience that wouldbe challenging and rewarding for the student.

Indeed, the study of feedback controlsystems (sometimes also referred to as "automatic control systems, "control engineering", orsimply "control systems") is often referred to as a "stealth science," due to its widespreadprevalence in a behind-the-scenes role of how engineering systems and devices may work.Although many readers are probably familiar with many of the concepts that will be discussed inthis section, we nevertheless wish to provide a simple conceptual base so as to 1. remind thereader of basic terms and definitions that we will continue to use throughout the paper and 2.serve as a conceptual foundation for the more complex models discussed in subsequent sections.With this in mind, let us

Leifer, I integrate approaches from engineering, de- sign and psychology to investigate the contemporary team practice of multicultural design innovation and multicultural, interdisciplinary science innovation. Specifically, I investigate a psychological mechanism – perplexity - through which engineers thrive when their habitual mind clashes with the social realities. In addition, I test interventions to nudge engineers to reframe problematic schema-incongruent situations into unique opportunities for cognitive growth, creative performance, and effective teamwork. My work contributes to revealing the science behind multicultural, interdisciplinary technological collaboration and providing actionable guidance for

However, ina follow-up question, 53% of Chemical Engineering seniors reported that this was very typical inmost or all of their major courses while only 20% of their university counterparts indicated thatthis was very typical. These results suggest that while our department courses comparefavorably with other university programs, there is still room for improvement in engagingstudents in these critical thinking applications.Senior surveys are widely used by most institutions. The value of a senior survey is that studentsstill have things fresh on their minds. Their responses can be more formative in nature.Alumni

The Laboratory incorporates areas forteaching and training, and has been designed to promote “hands-on” and “minds-on” learning. Itreflects the spirit of transformational learning that is a theme in the College of Engineering. The goal was to create discovery learning oriented experiments for a required junior-level“Design of Machine Elements” course in mechanical engineering that would give students prac-tical experiences and expose them to

Design forManufacturing is a philosophy and mind set aimed at designing parts and productsthat can be produced more easily and it is applied heavily at this stage.5.5 Detail DesignAt this stage the entire details including material and dimensions of parts are definedcompletely so that the product can be manufactured. Often a CAE software is used tomodel the parts and assembly at this stage. This contains all the details needed for anyanalysis. Engineering calculations would have been carried out earlier at part and sub-assembly levels but now the complete product is available for analysis. Normally allpossible analyses are not carried out.
