To broaden the impact of this project, students from other areas of science,technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) at USU are also invited to attend the work-shop. As a result, for the summer 2004 workshop half of the participants were computer sciencestudents, the other half mechanical engineering students. For the hands on portion of the work-shop, interdisciplinary teams were created, allowing the students to learn from each others experi-ence. Some of the engineering students brought their own research code for the 4th and 5th day ofthe workshop which allowed the computer

Learning then truly becomes a team effort throughout the semester.The authors have been known to send students to the chalkboard to solve an in-class problem.This allows one group to present their solution, right or wrong. Each group can see how the othergroups solved the same problem. When all in a group are working to solve the same problem atthe board, they are more focused. When seated, the instructor

This situation often occurs whenstudents are assigned design projects, or more importantly when students practice engineering inindustry after graduation. Students are taught, in a series of dynamics courses, how to derive theequation of motion of a dynamic system whose resulting differential equation can be linear ornonlinear. At the same time, students these days are taught such that they are capable of usingthe above mentioned NAS to solve differential equations, even though their usage is mostlyfocused on solving ordinary linear differential systems. For most undergraduate mechanicalengineering students, who have no experience with the complex nature of nonlinear dynamicsystems, numerical

Because the surveys werereturned by the key person(s) sponsoring and serving as a client for each project, thesedifferences are important. Results are summarized in Table 3 below.

the determination of cost isusually straightforward. However, determining the monetary value of benefits is quite varied andoftentimes difficult.The history of determining a monetary benefit from engineering improvements dates back to1930’s. For example, the benefit derived from the construction of a dam to provide flood controlcan be easily identified in monetary terms (value of property and goods lost due to flooding).When a dam is constructed for flood control there are incremental aspects of the project, such asmeans for hydro-electric power generation and recreational facilities on the impounded lake. Thedetermination of the monetary value of the hydro-electric power is rather straightforward, butmonetary quantification of the benefit
