School of Engineering and Technology provides the futureprofessional a wide formation involving the several areas of technological knowledge. Thisachievement is due to a new process of learning where the student is absolutely involved andcommitted with the conception, manufacturing and appliance of projects along the program.At the end of the program S/He becomes a highly specialized professional, who is used toleadership situations, with administration and management skills besides the reasonableexperience in the development of projects achieved during the course.The success of this project was so good that it has inspired the coordinating team to developanother special kind of education following the same philosophy for a new program that will

Lusiada University CenterIn 1967 the Lusiada Foundation was created and it started its activities with the Medical ScienceCollege.In 1969 Management College began and after having consolidated the two Colleges, otherColleges has come. Finally in 1993 the Education Ministry of Brazil recognized the Lusiada as aUniversity Center.The main characteristic of University Center of Lusiada is the preoccupation with the excellenceof education that it offers. This characteristic is expressed in its modern and well-equippedlaboratories, libraries and research centers.Besides a high level of Faculty with 400 members, the University Center of Lusiada alsomaintains services to the community

If the respondentwas not supervising any recent graduates, they were still asked to respond to the importancequestions. The last element of the survey asked for additional comments regarding the graduatesand suggestions for survey improvement. Senior Exit SurveyA four part, Senior Exit Survey was developed by the OAC. The intent was for the survey to beadministered to seniors at or nearing graduation. Part I asked for seven items related todemographics, participation in various programs, and future plans.

Second, each teaching faculty member evaluates his/her own course(s) by reducingcourse syllabi down to course learning objectives and a list of major topic areas and practices.The level to which the course addresses each performance criteria is estimated using a Bloom’sTaxonomy scale. Third, all course profiles are compiled and analyzed to pinpoint strengths andweaknesses in particular performance criteria or outcomes. This paper will highlight the ABET-compliant course profile development and implementation and a model for program deficiencyanalysis.IntroductionOne can look at the conference proceeding for any

proficiency testingby computer is commonplace. There is virtually no potential student any place in the world or inany lifestyle condition who cannot be accessed, instructed and evaluated electronically via a phoneconnection and computer, and at increasingly affordable prices. In todayÀs marketplace, access tocomputers and on-line services is more a matter of choice rather than cost, meaning thatsocioeconomic status is not a deterrent to having access to technology. Virtual universities, whichtake full advantage of this new computing environment, hold the promise to revolutionizeeducation delivery in the 21st century.During the 1996-2006 decade, employment in science and engineering (S&E) occupations isexpected to increase at more than three

Their job is to first decide what a disk carrier is, and the intended user(s) of such adevice, and then to design it.At the time of completing the design of their disk carrier, we find they are talking in the languageof designers. They speak openly of constraints, structural, behavioral and functional attributes oftheir designs, and evaluation of alternative solutions. Though encouraging it would be fallaciousto believe they are designers and free of misconceptions.IV. Product Dissection and Misconceptions

processof adjusting this set of Cost Estimating Relationship (CER) equations was begun by calculatingand tabulating the magnitude of various segments of the design and manufacturing process asgiven by the cost model. The equations break up the cost into eight major contributors:engineering hours, tooling hours, manufacturing hours, quality control hours, developmentsupport cost, flight test cost, cost of manufacturing materials, and engine production cost. Eachsegment is estimated by an equation generated by regression analysis of Department of Defensedatabase information.

Selection of 0.25x1.5x1.5inch iron angles for the frame was based on experience for proper rigidity. Compressive stresses inthe legs due to wheel weight and the dynamic forces were checked and were found to be verysmall.
