B. Ettinger – PRIMUS, 2024
This paper presents a semester-long bottle design project for an undergraduate Numerical Analysis course. Students implement numerical methods in MATLAB to design and 3D print a bottle. Employing mathematical methods to compute features of their designs enhances students' understanding of numerical techniques in design applications. Student…

Steven Marquez; Travis Varra; Cami Christensen; Om Rajasekharan; Carter Dojan; Janelle Hobbs; Rhys A. Otten; Luke Salzer; Jennifer D. Schuttlefield Christus; Justin B. Sambur – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Scanning probe-based microscopes (SPMs) are widely used in biology, chemistry, materials science, and physics to image and manipulate matter on the nanoscale. Unfortunately, high school and university departments lack expensive SPM tools and materials microscopy activities to educate a large number of students in this vital SPM imaging technique.…

Zaman, Mohd Hairi Mohd; Mokhtar, Mohd Hadri Hafiz; Ibrahim, Mohd Faisal; Huddin, Aqilah Baseri; Beng, Gan Kok – International Journal of Evaluation and Research in Education, 2020
Engineering students at an undergraduate level typically learn the design aspect and concept through lectures and practical sessions using computeraided software. However, the current computer-aided design and engineering (CAD/CAE) course did not expose the students to apply and relate the latest advanced technologies to solve global issues, for…

Huang, Tien-Chi; Lin, Weijane; Yueh, Hsiu-Ping – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2019
Environmental education is intended to increase public awareness and knowledge about environmental issues and enhance individuals' problem-solving and decision-making skills by tackling problems in the real world. "Maker education," on the contrary, mostly relies on "problem-based" and "project-based learning"…

Hennessey, Eden; Mueller, Julie – Canadian Journal of Education, 2020
As a problem-solving approach, design thinking (DT) emphasizes iterative, user-focused designing. While DT is being readily adopted into education, little is known about how educators integrate DT across curricula. To address this question, we collaborated with a tech-ed industry partner and a focus group of experienced educators to assess…

Krueger, Thomas J.; Barr, Ronald E. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2007
Engineering design graphics education has come a long way in the past two decades. The emergence of solid geometric modeling technology has become the focal point for the graphical development of engineering design ideas. The main attraction of this 3-D modeling approach is the downstream application of the data base to analysis and…
