LEARNING FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES
|
|
Engineering up-front includes hands-on engineering laboratories and design, the integration of the mathematical and scientific foundations with the technical topics
of Engineering, and the integration/ coordination of the Humanities in a parallel continuum rather than the traditional layered serial approach.
This program is student centered, addressing how we
teach as well as what we teach, teaming, communications, and
professional development. Emphasis is placed on an undergraduate program
that is a set of interlinked parts that should work synergistically
rather than a mere collection of independent courses.
Students are involved in learning and experimenting with fundamental engineering principles integrated with the basic sciences and engineering sciences rather than in the traditional sequential mode. This
provides an integrated complex in which the students are increasingly addressing engineering intellectual issues as the basis for their educational program, beginning with their freshman year. Together with the
extensive freshman design program from computer model to the physical model, the engineering laboratory up-front, and the integration of curricular components, the Coalition's program provides an extensive
structural, educational culture, and content model change. A primary state in this model is the recognition that an undergraduate program is a set of interlinked parts that must work synergistically. This focus
has had significant support at our institutions. The degree of evolution of this change ranges from parts of the freshman curriculum, forward to the subsequent years, to the implementation of a fully changed
curriculum at some. Common throughout is freshman design which serves as both a motivator and a vehicle by which students gain expertise in engineering principles, the design process, statistical analysis, use
of CAI tools, model fabrication, as well as the important non-technical issues such as teamwork, time management, leadership, the personal issues in engineering practice, and writing and the humanities in
relation to their engineering interests.

An Evolving Freshman Engineering Design Program - The NJIT Experience
|
| Contact Name: Angelo J Perna |
Organization: New Jersey Institute of Technology |

|
At the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) there has been a great effort in curriculum redesign.� Many institutions of higher learning have responded to curriculum reform encouraged by the initiatives created by the National Science Foundation (NSF) coalitions. In addition, the need for curriculum reform has been expressed by industrial colleagues, entering students, administrators, and faculty. In response to these inputs, a disciplinary introductory freshman engineering design oriented program was initiated at NJIT in 1992 to introduce entering freshman to "real engineering" up front. In 1995, follow-up courses incorporating concepts of manufacturing with the engineering design principles were introduced for the second semester of the freshman year. Based on the history of the development of the various experimental freshman engineering courses at our Institute, and with pressure on the engineering curriculum to reduce credit hours, a review of the departmental programs was initiated to consolidate the freshman year experience. This re-evaluation at NJIT was institutionalized in the Spring of 1999 by the decision of the College of Engineering Faculty.

Experimental Measurements- A method to introduce Freshman To Engineering
|
| Contact Name: Angelo Perna |
Organization: New Jersey Institute of Technology |
|
|
A concern of engineering educators has been why students lose motivation for engineering as a course of studies in or after their first year of study.� Some feedback indicates that students do not get a feel for the integrated course of study and its relationship to engineering and also they have no feel for activities engineers undertake in their task functions. In an attempt to address these student concerns we at the New Jersey Institute of Technology developed a series of discipline based modules of seven (7) weeks length, each meeting of one and a half (1-1/2) hours twice (2) a week.� These modules integrate theory/design/experimental exposure in each course in order to enrich the students' learning experience and reduce dropout numbers. Results of student evaluations indicate the chemical engineering measurement based module has been highly successful in achieving these goals. The approach of this module integrates the introduction of experimental measurements in a theoretical sense with actual measurements on pilot plant sized equipment in the areas of fluid (air and liquid) flow rates, flow in packed towers, flow through pipes and fittings, efflux time from tanks, and fluidization. Students are required to write reports and give oral presentations on their experimental undertakings.

The Siting, Process Analysis and Design of a Manufacturing Facility Using Hazardous Materials in a Residential Community (The Manufacture of Aspirin) is a joint cooperative project by Faculty from the Departments of Chemical Engineering, Chemistry and Environmental Sciences, and Civil and Environmental Engineering to introduce freshmen to design concepts and problems. The chemical engineers focus on the process analysis and design concepts while the civil engineers focus on facility siting and related problems, including visits to potential sites, environmental restrictions, political reservations, economic aspects related to the site, and final site selection and plant layout. The chemical engineers are concerned with the process concept, hazardous material and health considerations, input-output flow rates, material balances around the process and the process units, estimating the size of the manufacturing plant, raw material requirements, and pollution abatement and prevention. This workbook follows the concept of a freshman chemistry laboratory workbook and is developed to guide the inexperienced students, step by step, through the process analysis of an aspirin manufacturing process. it is suggested that the students work through the workbook, as teams, with each other for a meaningful learning experience.

This document describes the Mechanical Engineering Module of the project-based freshman engineering pilot course known as Fundamentals of Engineering (FE). The course, has been modeled on another Freshman course called Fundamental of Engineering Design (FED). Both courses were to run concurrently. The differences between the two courses are described, as well as the main structure of the pilot course. The two case-study projects, which constitute the Mechanical Engineering Module of the course curriculum, are the �Lawn Sprinkler� and �3.5" Floppy Disk Drive�. In this course, the freshman engineering student is introduced to many aspects of engineering as an entire unit working together, emphasizing the concept of teamwork in engineering research projects. Students are introduced to many computer aided design tools available at NJIT which can be used not only to build models of the product to be manufactured but also for diagnostic analysis in order to solve potential manufacturing problems. The student is also introduced to the concept of communication among team members and the concept of technical report writing and oral presentation. The grading and course evaluation schemes are also discussed. A few samples of the course materials such as homework assignments and students graphics are reproduced.

Fluid Mechanics Modules
|
|
|
|
The teaching of fluid mechanics at Cooper Union has been revised to make it an interactive design mode. Key fluid mechanics principles are demonstrated using design project assignments, demonstrations/experiments, videos, and lectures. The Cooper Union has purchased bench scale equipment from a grant from NSF. This equipment is used to demonstrate basic fluid mechanics principles. This pilot design studio-classroom has been in operation for the past two years at Cooper Union. A series of eleven modules has been developed. Each module consists of an outline of the theory of a topic in fluid mechanics that will be covered in lectures, an illustrated design problem, historical and cultural notes, a design homework example, a series of demonstrations and references. Each module is self-contained and takes approximately one to three weeks to cover. One of the ways these modules are unique is that the material is presented by the use of design problems, design homework examples, and design projects. These modules are being used in the pilot design studio-classroom. A series of fluid mechanics videos (29 videos) were integrated into a course in fluid mechanics. Each video demonstration runs an average of 3 to 4 minutes. There are an average of one and a half demonstrations for each of the 11 basic topics covered in the fluid mechanics course. These video demonstrations are being used in a required course in fluid mechanics at Cooper Union. These videos are clips from commercially available videos.

The FED course is intended to show students at an early stage of their studies what engineers do and what the practice of engineering is about. The course is divided into two parts - a project component and an application component, which teaches students the use of engineering software tools. In the project component, students are guided through an engineering design and manufacturing process that is comparable to that which an engineer in industry might be called upon to complete. This is the manual for the Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering module for this course. In this project, the class is divided into groups of four students each, and each group is required to choose a specific product to design or improve. The groups generate a list of technical specifications for their product, develop a project plan, and generate and choose among alternative designs�based on cost and manufacturability constraints.

This CD-Rom was developed in conjunction with the course EID-103 � Principles of Design. To show students the importance of the relation of physics, mathematics, engineering science, materials, experiment design, synthesis, and analysis, we have prepared for them a text and CD-ROM on Leonardo da Vinci and his flying machine, where we show that, in spite of all his genius, Leonardo could not succeed. It is an interesting, amusing, yet sobering lesson. In order to reach a wider audience, we have made this CD-Ro, part of an exhibition of Leonardo�s flying machine models built by students at New York City Technical College, under the direction of Professor Razukas. The exhibitions have taken place at the library of the college, and at the Gallery of Brooklyn Union Gas Company at MetroTech in Brooklyn, NY. This last exhibition was featured on Today (Channel 11) and also in the New York Post.

This CD is the documentation of an exhibition of working steam engineer models which took place from December 17, 1997 to January 8, 1998 at the Electrokinetics Gallery on Lafayette Street in New York City, under the auspices of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the Science and Technology Mission of the French Embassy in Washington, DC. The exhibition was a great success. More than 300 people attended the opening and several hundred more saw it before its closing. This exhibition was developed in a course EID 111 � Design, Illusion and Reality, an elective offered to students of Engineering, Art, and Architecture. Its interdisciplinarity enlarges the concept of design that students are exposed to. Group projects emphasize considerations of the interplay between ideas, concepts, values and technical realization in their social, intellectual and historical context. The material presented here can be used as supplementary material for courses in Design, Engineering Science, Society, and Technology, History, New Liberal Arts programs or other such programs. It can also be of interest to the public at large.

Rengineering the General Chemisty Laboratory Experience
|
| Contact Name: Golgen Bengu |
Organization: New Jersey Institute of Technology |

There are various ways to apply the power of modern computers to the laboratory experience in chemical education. Some have tried to use them to simulate the experiments that would be done in the laboratory, on the theory that dangerous, expensive or even impossible experiments can be simulated. However, most chemical educators agree that no simulation can truly replace the hands-on experience of the student in the laboratory. Therefore, we have chosen to follow a different path, using the computer to enrich, prepare, and assist the students both in the laboratory and before they come to lab. The software being developed at NJIT is available to the students in the laboratory and from anywhere they can access the World Wide Web.

A meaningful freshman engineering design experience course with an interdisciplinary environmental approach was offered at New Jersey Institute of Technology in Spring term 1997 and was taught by faculty from the Chemical and Civil Engineering Departments. The problem assigned was the Siting and Design of a Manufacturing Facility using Hazardous Materials and the process design was for a plant to manufacture aspirin. The project simulated a contract undertaken by a consulting firm to site and design the plant with the assignment given to entry-level engineers. This approach does not require that the freshman students be well versed in the "traditional design concepts, background, and knowledge" required in the capstone design courses.

In response to changing curricular requirements, industrial concerns and student retention problems, more and more institutions of higher learning are embracing the concept of introducing engineering freshman to design problems during the first year of study. The discipline of Environmental Engineering can provide numerous examples which are suitable for entering engineering freshman to study as a design exercise. At New Jersey Institute of Technology, faculty from the Departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Chemical Engineering, Chemistry and Environmental Science team teach a freshman engineering design course in which student teams site and design a proposed roadway connecting two existing highways with the objective of minimizing adverse environmental impacts.
