A Manufacturing Systems Capstone Course John C. Anderson Oregon Institute of Technology INTRODUCTIONCapstone courses serve a valuable function in Engineering and Engineering Technology curricula.Typically these courses offer the student an opportunity to integrate the lessons learned in engineeringscience classes, as well as transition from the textbook problems with a limited scope to more openended problems.A capstone course also offers the opportunity to fill in some gaps in the student’s academic backgroundprior to entering the professional ranks.The Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME

studentsand inhibiting opportunities for them to excel in a technologically advanced society.Furthermore, the uninspiring nature of such labs fails to capture the imagination of students,which leads to their losing interest in studying science [1]. Experience with obsolete andunappealing science labs causes too many students to develop a negative view of science andwhat scientists do, and they never develop an understanding of how scientists address problems.

Ethics 101 Marilyn A. Dyrud Oregon Institute of TechnologyIntroductionEthics training, now somewhat formalized as ABET EAC criterion 3f and TAC criterion2i, is by necessity becoming a more integral part of engineering and technology curricula,whether via stand-alone ethics courses or inclusion in technical courses and programs.Instructors new to the field, however, may find themselves in a quandary as to coursecontent and methodology; ethics is an enormous and ancient field of study, and tailoringphilosophical content to fit a technical class poses a challenge. Pedagogy in philosophy,too, varies a great deal and tends to be

Key in this hasbeen the Welliver Faculty Summer Fellowship Program which, after a decade of operation, canbe considered to have met its initial expectations. Reasons for successes and failures will bediscussed and opportunities for future developments will be identified. Alumni of this programhave enhanced the relevance of engineering education by incorporating industry perspectives,and industry has benefited from the perspectives and insights brought by the faculty participants.The paper will survey the results from the program and relate them to the needs of the presentand future aerospace industry and engineering academe.IntroductionConsolidation, new technologies and
