and efficient part manufacturing methods and complete production systems for commercial and industrial products. The common theme for students is mastering process, production system and enterprise design procedures that are applicable to any product in any industry. Graduates have been successful in manufacturing enterprises that produce virtually every type of product -- literally, from spacecraft to foodstuffs. In addition to traditional courses, Dr. Wells leads innovation teams in two engineering venues: product realization and transforming laboratory research into commercial products. Dr. Wells’ active research lies in orthopedic implants, micro-assembly, micro-machining, circuit

A sustainability knowledge survey wasadministered to students at the sophomore, senior, and Masters levels to determine their relativeknowledge of terminology, concepts, and practice as it relates to sustainability and civilengineering. The results were analyzed to determine the relative knowledge and depth ofunderstanding of sustainability at the three levels that have been exposed to different levels ofsustainability content in the civil engineering curriculum. The results are also synthesized withanalysis of student recognition of sustainability in course

The end product was envisaged as analternative to the Bologna style curriculum offered by other institutions. The BE/ME wouldinstead build on the existing 4-year BE degree and focus on achieving a distinctiveengineering theory-practice flavour.

emphasise learning instead of lecturing is the main idea behind both project work and problembased learning. Learning is the active process of investigation and creation based on the learner’sinterest, curiosity and experience, and it should result in expanded insight and knowledge skills.The main element of the pedagogical concept is study plans, which for each semester (½ year)describes courses and prescribes a theme for each term. Within the semester theme each supervisortogether with a student group can choose a project. The project time is calculated theoretically tocover half of each semester except at the final where the project can cover from one to twosemesters.
