The innovative ideas in this approach include the extensive use ofmaterials design challenges and research tasks conducted by the students oncontemporary materials research topics. Other successful teaching methods developedpreviously such as incorporating modern web-based, multi-media resources, materialsdatabases, model building, conference participation, and hands-on laboratory experienceshave been retained. Through the implementation of this top-down approach in the Fall‘08 term, it was found that the student performance in the course and ABET

’ problem solving ability,“ through practical activities. Self-directed learning is to encourage students to learn inductively with the help of teaching systems.This method gives students more freedom to come up with a question to investigate, devise anexperimental procedure, and decide how to interpret the results.Effective, or successful, self-directed learning depends on information gathering, informationmonitor students’ processing and other cognitive activities, and in the way they react toinformation. Thus, an e-learning system is developed to provide learning content withmultimedia to the students, offer good support in asynchronous communication and informationgathering. Further, virtual technology is applied to virtually represent the

"newCarnegie report...reinforces those warnings." The report indicates "that a widespread emphasison theory over practice...discourages many potential students while leaving graduates with toolittle exposure to real-world problems and ethical dilemmas." While "millions of dollars" havebeen offered "through a coalition of universities to try to break up old styles of teaching," manyschools "still couldn't overcome the 'cultural issue of change' among faculty members." Therehave been some successes, however. Georgia Tech's biomedical engineering program uses a"problem-based approach" that "helps attract and teach many types of engineering students,especially women, who have been traditionally reluctant to consider engineering."Students too are voicing

requiresmajor curriculum redesign and/or major expenditures on laboratory equipment. After this astudent would need to take the course and could still be up to two years away from his or her firstposition. In simple terms we often need to look four or more years into the future to predict whatwill be cutting edge as our students enter the workforce. This problem has long guaranteed thatthere is a lag between industry need and graduate knowledge. Although some futuredevelopments are easily foreseen, many are not. To identify developments that can impactproduction within five to ten years we look to private and public researchers. Through their workthey develop new solutions to old problems, and to develop innovations that redefine what wecan do, and

It is evident that engineering studentsand industry professionals are not receiving adequate training with regard to the requirements ofmachine guarding and safety. For engineering education to be improved in this area, facultymust recognize the importance of this material as an explicit component of the curriculum.Additionally, for the subject to be taught effectively, schools must be equipped with appropriateresources to safely teach students about machine safety.Until recently, the latter problem

main emphasis of the ProductDevelopment course is to teach systematic design methodology, and to expose students to thetools and techniques currently practiced in industry. This prepares students to apply some of theabove tools and techniques to their senior project.Senior Seminar:Students are required to propose ideas for their senior project in Senior Seminar. These ideasmay originate from industry, departmental faculty, national competitions, by themselves, or anyother sources. By the end of this course, all students must have a written, detailed projectproposal, which includes research, cost estimates, customer surveys, and tentative schedules, etc.Students are assigned a project advisor who works with them to finalize the proposal
