Curriculum Development for an Interdisciplinary Manufacturing Engineering ProgramAbstractThis paper outlines the curriculum development effort for improving the interdisciplinaryengineering program at the University of Missouri-Rolla (UMR). UMR currently offerstwo BS degree option programs in manufacturing, one in Mechanical Engineering andthe other in Engineering Management, and MS degree programs in manufacturing arealso offered. As the manufacturing engineering program is relatively expensive to run,especially the manufacturing laboratories, a strategy to integrate various campusresources in materials and processes on campus to improve the curriculum has beenimplemented. The collaborations with manufacturing companies and

comparative assessment of the effectiveness of this approach compared to the previousyear’s offering of Sophomore Engineering Clinic.IntroductionThe Sophomore Clinic is a four semester-hour course team taught by the College ofCommunication and the College of Engineering. Typically, the course has approximately 120students divided into six sections. The faculty team consists of two or three instructors from theCollege of Communication and five from the College of Engineering, with each of the fourRowan engineering disciplines (Chemical, Civil, Mechanical, Electrical) represented. Studentshave two 75-minute lecture sessions and one 160-minute laboratory session each week.During the lecture sections students receive instruction on technical

To evaluate the background of thestudents and understand the context for the coursework that must bridge the science perspectiveestablished in the physics mechanics background of the students the text, lecture and examcontent have been evaluated in detail. The current offerings of the Purdue course Physics 152consist of a lecture and laboratory course that uses the Tipler and Mosca text.11 The coursecorresponds well to the Tipler and Mosca course in that a large number of examples areemployed that have a strong engineering flavor in terms of the examples employed and the Page 11.993.5nature of the

researchers have focused oncreating new instructional materials to address the statistical needs of College of Business (COB)students. At the same time, educational innovators have been emphasizing how critical it is forthe COB students to be exposed to business applications when learning to master the corematerial. Textbook writers have been reasonably successful in addressing either of theserequirements; i.e., to prepare the students on statistics fundamentals or to expose them tobusiness applications. However, instructional materials that integrate both requirements are notreadily available. We worked with the Laboratory for Innovative Technology and EngineeringEducation (LITEE), Auburn University, that has developed award-winning

need.The Integrated Engineering program is in its 6th year of implementation and the curriculum hasundergone two cycles of iteration. The curriculum is shown in Figure 2. It includes 120 credithours. As can be seen from this figure, the curriculum is strong in the fundamentals and includesseveral design laboratory courses which form the backbone of the program. Furthermore, it ismuch broader than any of the traditional engineering programs. Graduates of the program arealso required to pass the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam in order to graduate.The Integrated Engineering program produced its first graduated class (eight students) in May2004. All of the graduates have found employment at or before graduation, with salaries rangingfrom

First, is the concrete basis where the accentis on “hands on” operations. Data is obtained via the senses at laboratory or site locations. Thiswas the traditional approach to engineering problem solving in the industrial revolution and theearly information age of the cybernetic revolution. The proof was a “hands on” usable product.The second cognitive base is the abstract where the solution includes much in the form of ideasand perceptions. In the current cybernetic revolution, this abstract form for engineering solutions
