From: ENGINEERING EDUCATION: January 1983 A CASE FOR TEACHING ENGINEERING WITH CASES Jerald M. Henderson, University of California, Davis Laura E. Bellman, The Clorox Company Burford J. Furman, IBM Corporation Why teach "theory" and "design" when you can teach engineering? Through case studies, the authors argue, students can learn basicprinciples while gaining experience with engineering practice throughout their undergraduate years. Using engineering case studies - accounts of actual engineering in practice - can bring much-needed realism to the classroom. In this article we treat the use of engineering cases as we would approach any significant engineering design problem: we define the problem; identify alternative ways to solve it; pick the best method; and finally, carry it out. The Problem The purpose of an undergraduate engineering education is to prepare people to practice engineering. Most of us agree on what engineering is, though we may argue about curricula and faculty roles. Faculty and others often use the term "good student" to mean a student with a high grade point average (GPA). The GPA, while a useful indicator of a student's academic ability, is not, however, as reliable at predicting engineering ability. During interview season students are often referred to as a college's product. To make a point, we will pursue this impersonal image a little further. When companies come to campus to buy a product, what do they want? What are they actually buying and what should they be buying? We have observed that industry considers, in order of importance

Faculty/Staff Andrew T. Metters, Ph.D. Teaching Activities ChE 312, Heat and Mass Transfer: This undergraduate core course is the second in a required three-course sequence focused on transport phenomena and separations (Note: As of Fall 2005, this course will be incorporated into two new courses, ChE 230 and ChE 330). The objective of this course is to identify the driving forces behind heat and mass transfer and to quantify the resistances that determine transport rates. These principles are then used to efficiently design various unit operations such as heat exchangers and multi-phase absorption towers. ChE 401/601, Transport Phenomena: The purpose of this course is to teach students the skills needed to transcend between the molecular, microscopic, and macroscopic length scales found in transport phenomena. Utilizing shell balances and generalized equations of change, students apply microscopic conservation laws to solve a host of single and multi-dimensional momentum, energy, and mass transfer problems. Concepts learned in CHE 311 (Fluid Flow) and ChE 312 are reinforced from a new perspective while preparing students for advanced courses in the field. Particular interest is placed on identifying similarities between the three classes of transport phenomena and on developing a physical understanding of the governing mathematical equations.

39. ASEE PRISM - Mar 2001 - Teaching Toolbox Engineering is serious business and students aren t here to have fun!” Include one or two of these activities during the semester for variety and to http://www.prism-magazine.org/mar01/teaching.cfm

Engineers at Play A little levity can go a long way in your classes. By Phillip Wankat and Frank Oreovicz Sound familiar? Many engineering professors no doubt feel this way. Yes, the work is hard, but we also believe that learning is more effective if students (and professors) have some fun during the process. An appropriate joke or pun eases tension. Comic strips on an overhead project can reinforce the explanation of a technical concept. Short brain teasers or creative games provide breaks in lectures. Perhaps even more effective, though, are more elaborate activities that can become events students long remember. For example, a name game is a great icebreaker to kick off a class. Have the students stand in a circle with you. Start by saying your name, then have the student next to you say your name and her name; the second student says your name, the first student's name, and his name, and so on until the circle is complete, at which point you try to say everyone's name. You, of course, will have the toughest job, but the students will greatly appreciate, and enjoy, your struggle. This works well with up to about 40 students. The game gets difficult quickly, so allow students to help each other. Develop a whodunnit that requires knowledge of course material to solve. For example, a hot pie is removed from the oven and placed on a counter to cool; 15 minutes later a large piece is missing. Five students have been seen walking into and out of the kitchen, with each there long enough to be the culprit. Ask students to determine who could not have eaten the pie because it would have been too hot. Scenarios are limited only by your creativity.

- By Linda Creighton Schools are broadening their coursework to teach students the environmental consequences of the products they'll create. Starting the day with a glass of orange juice is routine, but for many first-year engineering students at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va., it just never tastes the same after their first semester. That's because every one of the 1,250 freshmen get their first taste of "green engineering" and insights into the environmental responsibilities of engineers in a required introductory course that explores the step-by-step production of America's favorite breakfast drink. "We have the chance in our course to touch every Virginia Tech student who graduates with an engineering degree," says Jean Kampe, assistant professor in the division of engineering fundamentals. "We give them an awareness of green even if they avoid courses that deal with it in their discipline." In the three decades since the first Earth Day, the industrial culture and engineering educators have broadened efforts to incorporate sustainable approaches to manufacturing. Environmental concerns have been added to engineering curriculum, and schools across the country have devised different approaches to prepare their graduates for work in an increasingly competitive global economy.
