Theapproach utilized was to compare the FE topical areas specified within the NCEESFundamentals of Engineering General Engineering Sample Questions & Solutions book to theindividual course syllabi for the courses in the initial ECU Engineering curriculum (classesentering 2004/2005). Table 3 lists the thirteen FE topical areas, the percentage of each topicalarea on the FE exam, and the course(s) that support the FE material.

In the final game design, each plane takes the following form – P(t)=P0 + s(t) d Page 12.573.6Where P0 is the initial location of the plane, d is a direction vector deciding the path of the plane,and s(t) is the speed of the plane.1.3. Vector TransformationsIn the game, a player’s fighter plane has the freedom to move paced on the feedback from theinput devices (mouse, keyboard, etc.). Basic left and right movements were implemented asvector transformation operations. For generality, we

Each program hasevolved its own senior design course over the years to suit its particular curricular needs.Typically projects have been team-based with representation from within the disciplineexclusively.A few years ago, the College of Engineering initiated a program to offer a multi-disciplinarydesign opportunity for the senior design project. The “No Walls” program had students takean engineering design course (ENGR 401) offered through the general engineering programas a substitute for their discipline’s capstone course(s). The faculty coordinator identified theappropriate disciplines as dictated by the project requirements, and recruited students (largelythrough

Since the 1970’s the demand for engineeringskills has undergone a major paradigm shift from one requiring high technical competence toone requiring social and environmental awareness, good oral and written communication aswell as teamwork skills. It is understood that the nature of engineering practice is a multi-disciplinary one. It is world-wise and its context is people.The Australian Science, Technology and Engineering Council identified5 the changinglandscape of engineering practice. The forces responsible for the change were: 1. Global Integration. The

, teams seemed much less receptive to the new workshop format (15%rated as good or very good in winter, versus 36% in fall), despite integrating breakout time forteams during workshops. This drop in student receptiveness may be caused by the workshopformat itself and/or its content. Written comments collected during course-end student feedbackfrom the winter quarter as well as ongoing focus groups with students by the guides will helpdistinguish common source(s) of the student’s lack of receptiveness to the workshops. Frommany group discussions, it appears that the drop may be at least partially attributable to the largeincrease in class size between the fall and winter quarters, as well as a change in roomconfiguration.

This program, the “No Walls” program,offered students a multi-disciplinary experience as a substitute for their discipline’scapstone course(s). No Walls project teams were composed of students from at least twodifferent programs in the college, including computer science.
