activities for undergraduate engineering students.IntroductionIn the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, scholarship in American engineering education underwent afundamental shift as a result of two distinct events: restructuring of the accreditationrequirements of ABET, Inc. (previously known as the Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology) in 1997 and the publication of the National Academy of Engineering “Engineer of2020” reports in 2004 and 20051. These reform efforts stemmed from calls from the Americanprofessional engineering community citing a consistent need for professional, communicative,and innovative engineers in the workplace2, and led to the creation of numerous experimentalpedagogies, programs, and other initiatives to encourage
changing the design objective, goal, and constraints between years, all teamswill compete on a level playing field.A short activity has been developed to present and reinforce the concepts of design formanufacturability. The activity is highly reusable; for example, by simply adjusting thedesignated costs or earning per widget each year, a previous year’s winning design can berendered ineffective given the new constraints. Further, this activity is not discipline-specific;we expect that it is well suited for students in all engineering fields.6. References[1] K. T. Ulrich and S. D.

microcontroller. As a first laboratory exercise they arealso shown how to breadboard simple circuits containing Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). Theythen write short programs to flash the LEDs in sequence.For the remaining two weeks the students are divided into groups as described above. Thestudent(s) responsible for chassis development design the basic components needed to mount thedrive motors, wheels, sensors, and microcontroller. They then integrate them into a prototypechassis design, which is then fabricated. If necessary, the process is iterated.The student(s) responsible for software development perform two additional laboratoryexercises. In the first, they are given prewritten code to poll the rangefinder sensors. They usethis to calibrate the
the ‘autosave’ feature.The LabArchives development team implemented this feature into the ELN on request. At theend of the semester both the students and the faculty were surveyed. All surveys wereanonymous and consent to use the anonymous data was obtained for IRB approval. Since themajority of the students used paper notebooks either in their freshman design course, perviousBME design course(s), and/or during their employment (i.e. internship or co-op) they couldmake a direct comparison. They were asked to rate a number of criteria, on a scale of 1-3 (where1 is poorly, 2 is moderately, and 3 is very), related to logistics and the engineering outcomesused to grade the notebooks for both paper and electronic notebooks.

The project met all seven of Todd etal.’s criteria for an industry-sponsored project,19 although the increased scope proved to be toolarge to complete all of the objectives.The evidence of the success of this project was a third place award in a regional ASME contest.The project was also featured in an article in the university’s engineering department newsletterand in the campus-wide newspaper. The students benefitted by getting the opportunity to workon a real-world project of interest with direct applicability to JZI. The company benefitted bygetting a functional, top-quality simulator that is currently used to enhance training classes. JZIstudents benefit by
importantto recognize that first-year students do not yet have design skills to create major solutions to realdesign needs of clients, though they do have enthusiasm, creativity, and problem-solving skills.The author, a technical communication specialist, and other instructors of the course, also lackthe expertise in engineering design to effectively judge such projects.APSC 176’s team proposal project taps into the constant need for funding by not-for-profitorganizations and appeals to a wide variety of not-for-profit organizations. Many of theseorganizations often are highly enthusiastic simply to engage the students to promote awarenessof the organizations. Even if the organization does not come away with a concrete product, theyhave had 220

Some combination of work, family or geography made attendingtraditional classes at an institution offering an undergraduate mechanical engineering degreeunfeasible. The potential career benefits of an engineering degree tended to be the primarymotivator for participating in the distance program at UND. The school was chosen primarilydue to both its reputation and the fact that there are few, if any, other accredited undergraduatedistance mechanical engineering degree programs.References [1] Ibrahim, W. and R.

petroleum engineering and industrial engineer may take these courses abroad. However, thecourses will not be approved for mechanical engineering students to take abroad. Facultymembers have been very supportive of accepting the international courses as electives and onedepartment is looking to revise the curriculum to create an ideal semester for the students to goabroad, should they choose to use the semester long exchange as their method of accomplishingthe international requirement. The WCOE will be working with the other engineeringdepartments and degree programs to rework their 4-year curriculum plan to identify the idealsemester(s) students should participate in a semester-long study abroad experience.6.
