In this secondsession, all seven groups that made up the class contributed to the discussion. In the thirdsession, an invited speaker, a practitioner, would address the class, focusing on real issues andconcerns that only practitioners could address. During the final fifteen minutes of the thirdsession, the instructor would summarize the case pointing in the direction of: lesson(s) learned,discrepancies, if any, and how the presented case would relate to and/ or supplement theknowledge students have been exposed to in previous courses.Getting off to a good start is vital, so the first class session was an ideal opportunity to be clearabout

First, learning a new method may require some time, further,identifying which method is more appropriate to learn for the particular design problem can bedifficult. The knowledge or expertise to identify which method(s) are most appropriate for eachdesign problem, takes time to develop, and when considering multiple areas or disciplines in thedesign process, one can imagine the difficulty of becoming expert in more than one area (e.g.design quality, design creativity, sustainable

This is forcing changes in theundergraduate ME curriculum. Starting in the 1970‟s,5,6 microprocessors have been incorporatedinto ME courses, usually in a senior technical elective or laboratory course at a number ofschools. Coursework on mechatronics, a discipline form at the overlap between mechanical,electrical, and computer engineering, exist in almost all engineering schools with minors anddegree programs available at some institutions.While a two-course sequence in mechatronics is routinely offered to seniors at Virginia Tech anda Minor in Mechatronics is under consideration

Tobias3 defines first tier engineering students as those who have intentions and abilityto earn science degrees and do so. Second tier are students who have the initial intention andability but instead switch to nonscientific fields. For many engineering students who start atcommunity colleges or are a “second tier” student, the calculus math sequence is a key factor intheir decision to complete an engineering degree and then their time to graduation. This is due inpart to the math prerequisites required for engineering and physics courses. To finish anengineering degree in four years, a student needs to start in calculus 1 in the fall of the first

The face-to-face meetings with the teams provided anexcellent opportunity to evaluate the skill levels. The instructor reported that each teamemployed all 3 skills at one or more point(s) during the semester. The results are shown in Table5 for all 6 teams.
