Engineering Science Exam Structure

Before

Written Oral

NowNo changes

All use simulation and experiment

Students evaluated only on their ability to correctly apply the concepts

Students evaluated on - the 6 skills - critical thinking - quick adaptation to

new systems and situations

13

Engineering science curriculum objective

Study complex multidomain systems.

Use a model that represents the different multidomain parts of the system

The revised program integrated physical modeling as the new tool to represent such systems.

14

Requirements for simulation tools

Comprehensive multi-domain behavioral models

Physical Modeling of simple and complex systems

Graphical environment

Data acquisition & illustration

2D- 3D Visualization

Easy to connect to hardware

Main Results and Conclusions

Students learning and skills– Initiated to the industrial engineering job.

– Have high level skills in modeling, engineering thinking

and communicating.

– Feel comfortable and confident in their skills as well as in the model.

– Developed critical thinking , and can adapt to new situations

– Are better prepared for industry.

Engineering schools– Appreciated to hire candidates with such skills

– Selection process for the competitive exam was successfully impacted

26

In addition to that…

MATLAB/Simulink: Industry proven tool Eases the implementation of teaching

Engineering workflow Increases the performance and

effectiveness of teaching activities Exports easily the workflow on more

complex multidomain systems using

Physical Modeling tools
