System Engineering Implementation Process for Super-Systems

System engineering is one of the most powerful tools for comprehensive project management and control. This tool emphasized the life cycle of the projects, manages every single activity and helps manage the main elements of the project through a set of management and engineering processes. The goal of the current study is to use a system engineering approach in design phase in order or to meet ...

Assessment Techniques and Students’ Higher-Order Thinking Skills

Improving students’ higher-order thinking skills is a collective experience; one teacher of a specific subject cannot alone improve the higher-order thinking skills, and it is a collaborative process between all subjects’ teachers and can be taught for all levels of studying (Lawson, 1993; Shellens, & Valcke, 2005). Moreover, Benjamin (2008) argues that these skills can be developed in a cumula...

Crystal Engineering for Product and Process Design

Crystalline organic solids are ubiquitous as either final products or as intermediates in the specialty chemical, pharmaceutical, and home & personal care industries. Virtually all small molecular weight drugs are isolated as crystalline materials, and over 90% of all pharmaceutical products are formulated in particulate, generally crystalline form. Crystalline chemical intermediates, such as a...

Measurement of Engineering Design Creativity in Undergraduate Students

To mold the innovators of the future, engineering schools must educate engineers who can generate creative solutions to design problems. We examined the innovation capabilities of freshman and senior undergraduate engineering students through a concept generation exercise using the 6-3-5 method. Their concepts were scored for originality, and originality was correlated with individual differenc...
