“…The product design process selected is based on existing references [1,2] and is well-suited for products of low to moderate complexity that are engineered, discrete, and physical. The course sequence includes courses at the freshman, sophomore, and junior levels, and culminates with a comprehensive capstone senior design project that is conducted over two semesters.…”

Lande directs the Holistic Engineering Lab & Observatory. He teaches human-centered engineering design, design thinking, and design innovation courses. Dr. Lande researches how technical and non-technical people learn and apply design thinking and making processes to their work. He is interested in the intersection of designerly epistemic identities and vocational pathways. Dr. Lande received his B.S. in Engineering (Product Design), M.A. in Education (Learning, Design and Technology) and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering (Design Education) from Stanford University.

Internet chat-based tutorials are being developed for integrating computer modeling and design skills into mechanical engineering undergraduate and middle school outreach programs. These tutorials help students navigate complicated software interfaces while teaching fundamental concepts through dynamic dialogues between tutorial agents and student user groups. In a typical assignment, students are asked to perform a design or modeling task that includes the use of software such as a commercial finite element code or specially designed educational software. Students work in teams, but team members are distributed within a room or between remote sites, linked by a text interface. As students collaborate electronically, an intelligent agent monitors their interactions and interjects questions or comments in response to the use of key phrases, or due to other triggers. This platform is being used to help automate collaborative learning experiences and to study how students can effectively interact with each other and with the software agents. In undergraduate projects, fundamental technical skills and intuition in interpreting results are emphasized. In outreach efforts, participants are led to consider how their work relates to the broad mechanical engineering profession.

Programming is a skill that is a crucial component in most engineering analysis and design functions. Hence, all engineering curriculums include programming courses and many use MATLAB, a technical computing language. Teaching and training students to become competent and efficient programmers however, continues to be a challenge. Engineering faculty have implemented several pedagogical approaches to address this challenge, including the use of Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs). This work presents an ongoing, preliminary investigative study of the incorporation of the VLE-MatLab Marina as a supplement in Computing for Engineers courses and its impact on student learning at two institutions:
