The course is taught at the University of California Davis inSpring Quarter 2017 for the first time.IntroductionMechanical and aerospace engineering are multi-disciplinary sciences. Many engineering topicsand the principles behind them are sophisticated, so that real-world applications have to be basedon theoretical concepts, numerical computer simulations, and experimental verification.Undergraduate students are usually presented with a lot of theory in their classes, but fewapplications, computer simulations and experiments and rarely all of these topics in acomprehensive, integrated course.

Although there has been great emphasis on developing collaborationcompetencies in the engineering curriculum, empirical evidence of successful strategies fordistributed team settings is scarce. As an attempt to fill this gap this study investigates theimpact of a scalable intervention in developing virtual collaboration skills. The intervention,based on instructional scaffolds embedded with collaboration technologies, is aimed atsupporting specific processes including planning, goal setting, clarifying goals and expectations,communication, coordination and progress monitoring. A quasi-experimental design was used toevaluate the impact of the intervention on student teamwork skills. Data from 278 graduate andundergraduate

As a result, many of the same skills such as exploring, mentoring, planning, organizing, scheduling,controlling, communicating, and leading could be used in both careers with minor modification.Dealing with people is always difficult and requires great skill. This is especially true whendealing with students. Many students are in a class not by choice, but simply because it is arequirement for graduation. In some cases, these students are uninterested in the subject,unmotivated, and quite simply bored. However, relating the subject matter directly to real worldindustrial and consumer applications tend to spark their interest. Actual products involvingautomotive components, robotic

This way, curriculum lays out the mosteffective ways of achieving specific results.We believe that the most effective curricular design is “backward”. Backward design arose intandem with the concept of learning standards, and it is widely viewed as a practical process forusing standards to guide the development of a course.

Project ideas are usually a mixture of continued research from former student work andnew applications for both the engineering department and industry partners. Any student orfaculty member in the program may submit a project idea. We also receive a few externalsubmissions from colleagues and business partners who are familiar with the courses.
