  1. Alice AgoginoAssociate Dean for Special Programs, College of EngineeringProfessor of Mechanical EngineeringBrandon MuramatsuLecturer in Mechanical Engineering NEEDS Project Director ME39C Multimedia Case Studies of Engineering Design University of California at Berkeley January 20, 1999

  2. Outline • Course Introduction • Course Philosophy • Course Goals • Synthesis Coalition and NEEDS • The World Wide Web

  3. http://maclab.me.berkeley.edu/ME39C/ • Freshman/Sophomore Class • Design and develop a Multimedia Case Study

  4. Course Philosophy –Scaffolded Knowledge Integration • Engineering through investigation and design in a collaborative learning environment • Students will be encouraged to construct their understanding and share their knowledge and experience during case studies development with other students Scaffolded Knowledge Integration http://maclab.me.berkeley.edu/ME39C/philo.html http://best.me.berkeley.edu/~aagogino/fie95/FIEme39c.html

  5. Goals and Underlying Themes • Multimedia and the World Wide Web as an important, emerging means of technical communication • Design/engineering as a collaborative, multidisciplinary process • Students as integral to the teaching process • Make learning explicit, we’re as interested in the process as we are the outcome • Providing skills and tools as appropriate and needed We’re going to do things in ways you probably haven’t seen at Berkeley before

  6. Examples of Past Projects • Spring 1997 • Digital Video • Boeing 777 • Spring 1996 • Bicycle

  7. Outline • Course Introduction • Course Philosophy • Course Goals • Synthesis Coalition and NEEDS • The World Wide Web

  8. Synthesis Cornell Iowa State Berkeley Hampton Stanford Northern Arizona Cal Poly Tuskegee Southern Synthesis Coalition Goals • Reform curricula • Improve retention • Link to K-14 • Develop digital infrastructure (NEEDS Digital Library & quality review of courseware)

  9. Value vs Preparedness Teamwork Product/System Design Leadership Preparedness Integrative Thinking Social/Ethics/Environment Value Math and Science Market Environment Social Sciences Percentage 0 50 100 National Society ofProfessional Engineers Respondents were asked to rate new engineers’ preparedness in eight areas and then indicate the value their organization places on preparation in that area. [NSPE, 1994]

  10. Synthesis Coalition Strategy • Introduce multidisciplinary systems design • Mechatronics • Architecture/Engineering/Construction • Bring industry and research into the classroom • Enhance laboratory/hands-on learning • Increase social context of technology • Improve student’s communication and teaming skills • Introduce new delivery/learning styles

  11. Lower Division Strategy • Mechanical (Artifact) Dissection • Multidisciplinary, Multimedia Case Studies • Integrated Design Projects • Early Introduction of Embedded Computing (Mechatronics Design)

  12. . . . • is an approach to teaching students about engineering concepts and design principles by having them explore the engineered products around them. • involves having students work in small teams to disassemble and reassemble machines. • leads to insight on materials, function, design alternatives, human factors and manufacturing. • motivates and promotes integrative thinking. Professor Sheri Sheppard, Stanford University http://www-adl.stanford.edu/

  13. Multidisciplinary,Multimedia Case Studies • Highlight examples of successfully engineered design products • Brings “best practices” from industry into the classroom: • customer-driven design • quality and continuous improvement • multifunctional teams • design for ‘x’ (assembly, environment, etc.) • Complement dissection and design activities • Promote integrative thinking

  14. Multimedia Cases & Dissection Promote Integrative Learning Concrete Experiences Active Experimentation Reflection Abstract Theory & Conceptualization Mattel Color Spin Example Integrates multimedia case, dissection and design activities

  15. Multidisciplinary Mechatronic Cases and Dissection Exercises • Mechanical Engineering • Electrical Engineering • Computer Engineering • User Interface • Manufacturing • Industrial/Process Engineering • Business and Management of Technology Some of the Disciplines Involved:

  16. Synthesis Courseware Integrates Research, Education and Industry Technical Research Disk Drive High Speed Networks Multimedia & Video Servers Design & Mfg. Integration Education Research peer, scaffolded & experiential learning Industry Western Digital IBM Almaden Research Berkeley Computer Mechanics Lab Virtual Disk Drive Case Study - Game, Dissection Example

  17. NEEDS - The National EngineeringEducation Delivery System Vision • Develop a global digital library and community of learners in Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology Education (SMETE)

  18. Established Dissemination Tool for Engineering Education • Courseware readily searchable and accessible • Expanding to include Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology Education (SMETE) • Established Quality Review Programs • Criteria for evaluating courseware • The Premier Award for Excellence in Engineering Education Courseware -- national competition • New user-based review mechanisms

  19. NEEDS: A Multimedia Digital Library of Courseware Catalog, search, browse, download and review courseware and multimedia elements

  20. On-going Goals • Continue NEEDS as a service to the engineering education community • Grow and evolve NEEDS as the foundation for an on-line engineering education community • Expand courseware review and evaluation efforts • Serve as a bridge towards the development of as SMETE Digital National Library Berkeley UMBC Stanford Virginia Tech Northern Arizona Oklahoma

  21. Premier Award for Excellence in Engineering Education Courseware • Why Create the Premier Award? • Establish NEEDS as a source of quality learning materials • Provide recognition to developers for time and intellectual • Criteria for Evaluating Courseware • Instructional Design (will students learn from the courseware?) • Software Design (well designed and usable?) • Engineering Content (error free content?) Premier Award http://www.needs.org/premier/ 8

  22. Premier Courseware • Premier Courseware of 1998 • Della Steam Plant - P.K. Raju and Chetan Sankar • MDSolids - Timothy Philpot • SEVE-UNH - Robert Henry • Premier Courseware of 1997 • Virtual Disk Drive Design Studio - David Yu, et al. • Drill and Bike Dissection - Sheri Sheppard, et al. • Mars Navigator - Kurt Gramoll, et al. 1300 CD-ROMs 2300 CD-ROMs

  23. Outline • Course Introduction • Course Philosophy • Course Goals • Synthesis Coalition and NEEDS • The World Wide Web
