This special session presents applications of the philosophy of engineering to the understandings of engineering design. The philosophical basis of engineering provides particular insight into framing and interpreting design experiences. This interactive sessions/workshop aims to discuss and analyze engineering design and its place in engineering education. This includes examining perspectives from...
A new method of assessment is developed that comprehensively maps students' progress in a course. The technique involves the use of two grading rubrics measuring performance in technical and conceptual proficiency, respectively. With these rubrics, one can identify students' progress and learning more effectively and future activities can be adapted accordingly. This paper discusses the development...
In this paper, we attempt to envision — in the spirit of a mind experiment — a specific and practicable engineering course (an engineering studio) using as our guide the basic principles of John Dewey's educational philosophy, which continues to influence all levels of American education (as can be seen, for example, in references to his ideas on education in the Boyer Report).
This paper reviews the framework and provides new result for the implementation of a new program designed to develop more effective future faculty in engineering. The core of the proposed program will be based on our efforts regarding the recently developed Minor in Engineering Studies (MES). This program will team up effective engineering faculty to train, mentor, and evaluate a select group of graduate...
