software-intensive safety-critical systems26, 27 (formal verification and software inspection), two interventions wereimplemented: 1. Besides regular instruction and learning activities on formal methods, a leading researcher and proponent of formal methods was invited to construct and present a follow-up talk on formal verification of safety-critical systems. The goal of this intervention was to emphasize on construction of formal specifications for automatic static analysis and symbolic model checking, both, in the context of testing software in aerospace systems. 2. For software inspection, students were required to perform manual inspection of their SUTs as a part of their team project. Additionally, an
manufacturability. It is an iterative, creative, decision-making process in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and the engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally into solutions.3Why Should Engineers Learn about Non-Market Analysis?Entrepreneurs and innovators interested in commercializing technology in the biomedical,energy, transportation, information technology, robotics, aerospace, food, healthcare, and otherindustries require more than knowing whether a technology works and the potential market.Non-market factors such as regulations, standards, subsidies, and grants influence product, price,location, and other decisions. As a result, public policies provide both opportunities andchallenges for the

He hung concept mapson the classroom wall whenever he gave lectures, so students could see how the concepts fit intothe entire course curriculum.In the present study, students developed concept maps to illustrate the evolution of key conceptsin an engineering dynamics course. This second-year undergraduate engineering course is afoundational course that nearly all students in mechanical, aerospace, civil, biological, andbiomedical engineering programs are required to take. The course involves numerousfundamental concepts in physics and engineering mechanics and requires students to have solidconceptual understanding in order to solve relevant problems. 24, 25This paper is organized as follows.

The objectives of the workshop for active duty sailorsare two-fold: the first focuses on building skills needed in daily activities, while the second isdriven by the motivation to expose active duty sailors to opportunities in STEM areas.

, theflipped classroom method[8, 9, 10] has gained popularity. In a flipped classroom, the class time isdevoted to guided instruction where students work through problems with the instructor presentto provide assistance and answer questions. Lectures are delivered through on-line videos whichstudents are required to watch and learn outside the class time.In College of Engineering and Applied Science at WMU, Statics is required for studentsmajoring in aerospace engineering, civil engineering, construction engineering, industrial &entrepreneurial engineering, and mechanical engineering. It is a 3-credit-hour course that hasbeen taught in traditional lecturing before 2013. Statics has been traditionally a difficult course inthe college as measured by
lecture meeting to complete a brainstorming worksheet. Potential projectswere identified from broad categories including challenges facing the growth of manufacturingin the United States, advances in manufacturing technology, the application of manufacturing inspecific interest areas (i.e. biomedical, aerospace, etc), and the description of manufacturingprocesses not already covered by the other course content.Each student was then required to develop a 5-minute TED Talk about their chosen topic. Thestudents were permitted one powerpoint slide to use as a visual aid to be displayed during theirtalk. The final exam period was organized as a mini-TED Conference during which the studentspresented their manufacturing TED Talks to faculty and their

AM has been called the Second Industrial Revolution– Kondor et al., (2013). The revolutionary aspect of AM is not the uniform massproduction of the First Industrial Revolution, but mass customization ofmanufactured devices.
