industries specific to your area. If there are large facilities that hire a lot oftechnical personnel, find out what types of equipment they use. Talk to them about trends intheir industries. Using this data, it is easy to see common areas and help shape the curriculum.

This meant careful attention to the plans and careful execution of everytask was required. This was at the forefront of our minds when cutting any piece of wood,installing any screw, or drilling any piece of wood. If we were to make a mistake, it might haveadversely affected the desired appearance of the bridge, which was unacceptable. Additionally,working over a stream
Session ETD 545 Issues Associated with Capstone Courses and Growing and Expanding Engineering Technology Programs Joseph Morgan and Jay Porter Engineering Technology and Industrial Distribution, Texas A&M University, College Station, TXAbstractTen years ago, the Electronics Engineering Technology program at Texas A&M Universitytransformed their senior design course into a two-semester capstone design sequence basedaround a rigorous, real-world product design challenge. The projects undertaken by the studentswere almost all industry-sponsored
2019, American Society for Engineering Education Session ETD 465While morals may be considered personal beliefs, ethics are more closely aligned to the mores ofpublic opinion – what does society believe. From that, ethics may change more rapidly, evenyear to year as events occur to change the composite public mind. What is unethical today maywell be accepted next year, or even next week. Many professional organizations, companies, andothers may have a published Code of Ethics. They may codify it as a Code of Ethics, a Creed ofConduct, or simply an Oath of Office. In some cases, the organization may have some form ofmore than one, i.e. both a Code of Ethics

Finding affordable solutions for these subjects can prove
Session ETD 465ConceptsIn addition to the items explained above, some overall concepts are helpful to orient instructorsnew to ethics.Do No Harm. As the prime directive of ethics, all professionals should refrain from actions thatresult in harm of any type: physical, psychological, financial, legal. Initially associated withmedicine and erroneously ascribed to the Hippocratic Oath, primum non nocere came intowidespread usage in the early 20th century18 and has served as a guide for professional practicein any area related to the public good. Engineering codes capture this concept in FundamentalCanon #1, and public safety is at the forefront of a designer’s mind, especially those workingwith structures and consumer products.It is important to note

willingness to aid in developing opportunities that would build theskills through hands-on, industry driven projects. From these conversations, some key takeawaysincluded the student’s lack of being able to develop a Production Part Approval Process plan,design fixtures to hold parts or measuring instruments during the inspection process,misunderstanding of data in control charts, and inability to complete a design of experiments.With this in mind, manufacturing and quality engineers from local injection molding companiesand small machine shops were asked about donating parts (good and bad), as well as theassociated mechanical drawings, for students to use as part of class projects. In turn for donatingparts, these representatives would be invited to
Session ETD 545 Experimental and Analytical Comparison of Internally Finned Pipe with Unfinned Pipe for Heating Applications Maher Shehadi, Ph.D. School of Engineering Technology, Purdue Polytechnic Institute Purdue UniversityAbstractThis paper presents a capstone project that was done by two MET (Mechanical EngineeringTechnology) students during their senior year at Purdue Polytechnic, Kokomo. The projectobjective was to build an apparatus that would allow evaluation of pipes performance intransferring heat from an external heating source wrapped
represents the square root of –1. However, this reasoning appears logically inconsistent.There is nothing imaginary about the symbol i or its use.This paper treats the following interesting topics in the theory of functions of a complex variable:1) sensible introductions to Euler’s i that conform to the way engineers and technicians usethe symbol in analyzing alternating current circuits and mechanically vibrating systems;2) the derivation of the algebraic and topological features of the complex plane and acomparison of these features to the properties of “real” numbers;3) the description of the isomorphism between phasors and combinations of same-frequencysinusoidal oscillations that underlies the theory of alternating current analysis
