in these steam engines by JohnSmeaton between 1765 and 1772 increased the engines’ efficiency to around 1.4%, a noteworthyincrease. Even after the more famous, and more efficient, Boulton & Watt engines weredeveloped in the 1770’s, the simpler and very reliable Newcomen engines continued to be builtfor the purpose of pumping water from coal mines up until the 1820’s. Coal mines had a readysupply of unsellable “slack coal” as the fuel which influenced the decision about whichtechnology to use. The last operational Newcomen engine was retired around 1930.1design process overviewThe project followed the methodology set forth in Engineering Design – A Project-BasedApproach, by Dym and Little.4 Figure 3 – A

Students recorded the results of theirdiscussions, addressing questions such as: What was the problem(s)? What should theresearchers have done differently? What can we learn from this example? Do we have a fullunderstanding of what happened? As a follow-up to the ethics material presented in lectures anddiscussion section, students were given an assignment to reflect on the proceedings (AppendixA). Students were encouraged to generate their own points of discussion, but possible points todiscuss included: What do you consider to be some of

engineering programs in recentyears. Since 1990’s, RP has been used in engineering education to enhance design relatedcourses4. It became an essential part of the design and manufacturing curricula, ranging fromfirst-year design and drafting courses to senior-year capstone projects5-9. It has also been used intwo-year engineering program10. RP is considered as one of the “new frontiers” of manufacturingeducation, along with 3D scanning and reverse engineering11. In order to address the emergingdemand of RP technicians on the job market, Patton and Liu12 developed “train the trainers”workshops. In addition to using RP in regular engineering curricula, Strzelect and Vavreck7reported using RP to support broader mission of the campus, including

She also found that extracurricular activities were important inmeeting the BOK2 outcomes, that a student’s role(s) within design teams impacts the perceptionof importance for certain outcomes (e.g. a team project manager is more likely to assign higherimportance to Leadership and Project Management), and “as students gain a better understandingof the attributes desired for civil engineering professionals, they will be better equipped to seekout experiences and courses to develop these skills.”15As ASCE notes, it is the student, the “fledgling engineer,” who is responsible for meeting theappropriate level of achievement for each outcome as he or she prepares for professional

Unlike the SBI (50 is average), for theAcademic Success survey students will grade themselves using a more traditional pointsystem, where a score in the 70’s would reflect an average assessment.

Level 4 educational material prepares the student, with little additional on-sitetraining, for an immediate role as a productive engineer in industry or government. Often aparticular industry may hire engineers educated to Level 3, and provide on-site courses to raisethe level of knowledge to Level 4.

The old “spark”becomes very weak at times, the “go, go, go” battle cry loses its attractiveness, and the idea ofwriting or grading papers to 1 a.m. becomes downright disagreeable at times. Furthermore,twenty years of partial neglect of one’s health can, by the mid-40's, be reflected in developinghealth problems (hopefully minor); high blood pressure, blood sugar abnormalities,gastrointestinal difficulties, allergies, etc. that can all begin to further drain one’s physical energy.Just as important is the gradual decrease in intellectual “sharpness,” creativity, memory, andorganization. One may begin to become vague on or even forget little things once
contributed to the foundations of thismethod as an outgrowth of cognitive and later, constructivist learning theory dealing with theproblem-solving process. Problem-based learning has modern origins in medical education. Inparticular, Barrows and Tamblyn [4] in the mid 1970’s began exploring its use at McMasterUniversity as part of the medical school’s curriculum. Within more recent times, HarvardMedical School completely revised its pre-clinical curriculum from a lecture-based approach to aproblem-based format [5]. Problem-based education has a growing number of supporters from a variety ofdisciplines, learning settings and levels. [6] For instance, the problem-based approach has beengaining popularity in the areas of administration

IntroductionThe process of deep restructuring of the economy, following the political upheaval of 1989, hasradically changed external conditions influencing Polish universities. The essential elements ofthe new situation are:• growing demand for the graduates in business-related and management-related disciplines,• growing demand for service-oriented professions,• market-driven professional re-orientation of Polish society,• accelerated development of international economic co-operation,• strong pressure on economically efficient education.The last-mentioned element appeared not only due to the introduction of the mechanisms
2023,shortly after they completed their respective interventions.SurveysTo understand the interventions’ impact on sense of belonging and engineering identity, programparticipants responded to a retrospective pre- and post-questionnaire that combined two validatedsurvey instruments: Godwin’s [9] engineering identity scale and Hanauer et al.’s [11] measure ofpersistence in the sciences (PITS). The PITS combines five other validated instruments thatmeasure project ownership-emotion, project ownership-content, science identity, self-efficacy,scientific community values, and networking on a five-factor scale. These variables have beenshown to predict psychological factors that influence students’ intent to stay in science andengineering

It illuminates what students view asimportant when they describe their sense of belonging in that we can see what they choose to tellabout and what they view as important aspects of their departmental fit.The first component named in Allen et al.’s [1] framework is competencies. These are social,emotional, and cultural competencies, which help a person relate to others in the targetcommunity (in the case of our study, the computer science department). Essentially,competencies are skills and abilities that enable relating and connecting. They are what allowrelationships to form and people to interact. Without competencies, one would miss social
