National Resource: Everyday Examples in Engineering (E3s)
The Engage Project, Engaging Students in Engineering
(NONTRADITIONAL STUDENTS)
The overarching goal of Engage is to increase the capacity of
engineering schools/programs to retain undergraduate students by
facilitating the implementation of research-based strategies to
improve student day-to-day classroom and educational experience.
Everyday examples in Engineering are lesson plans and solutions that
can be integrated into the curriculum. They have been prepared using
the principles of Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate and
Evaluation. The Everyday Examples also include directions for
building and using demonstrations, and lists of engineering ideas
that can be used to illustrate engineering concepts. The Everyday
Examples are organized by course areas that include, among others,
Circuits, Dynamics, Graphics, Fluids, Manufacturing, Mechanics,
Stress & Strain, and Thermodynamics. Engage also works to improve
student spatial visualization skills, and improve and increase
faculty-student interaction.
