Multi Dimensional And Interactive Learning Model For Introduction To Mechanical Engineering

Abstract

where he earned his Ph.D. degree in May 2004. His general research area is in thermal/fluid sciences with more background in micro/mini-channel heat transfer and fluid flow, thermal system design and simulation, two-phase flow, condensation and evaporation. His other areas of interest include electronics cooling/thermal management and microfluidic/thermal devices.

Learning Experience in Mechanical Engineering First-Year Students

“…Product dissection has been used in a variety of ways to successfully engage engineering students in their learning. Intellectual and physical activities such as dissection help to anchor knowledge and practice of engineering in the minds of students [7,8] . Two examples of the products students did reverse engineering on follow.…”

“…This course was intended to introduce what the mechanical engineering discipline is and what mechanical engineers do once they join the work-force. The course was developed as a group effort, then rotated among ME faculty with diverse research interests [8].…”
