As indicated above, even with the large and well developed studyabroad infrastructure at BU, the participation rate among engineering undergraduates wasvirtually zero. In evaluating this situation, we identified a number of obstacles to participation,which included the rigor and general lack of flexibility of the engineering curricula, the lack offluency in a language other than English seen in most domestic engineering students, thedifficulty of finding appropriate courses that could be used to meet degree

necessary time to teach more than just the high cycle fatigue that is coverednow. With a large portion of mechanical engineers at RIT concentrating their coursework inspecialized areas such as aerospace and biomedical engineering, the need to describe thebehavior of complex alloys that may be subjected to higher stresses becomes even greater. Forthis work, we have implemented a fatigue lab activity as one of the four case studies in thecourse.Laboratory DesignDuring the spring of 2012, a laboratory activity involving both LCF and HCF fatigue conceptswas created to meet a set of design constraints and allow easy incorporation of this activity intoan existing course. To clearly illustrate the impact of low cycle fatigue within the timeconstraints of

Among the components deemed suitablefor an application, the one with highest efficiency index is most suitable to maintain highest energyefficiency of the overall system. Table 2 shows the efficiency index of two sets of hydraulic motorsoperating at the simulated operating condition of the race. The Aerospace motor with efficiency index of197.95 was the obvious choice compared to H3 motor with efficiency index of 117.83 under identicaloperating conditions

What does that mean?Traditionally it has meant offering international study opportunities for students and facultyexchange. While this is still true, developing a program that is “global” entails much more thanthat. The feedback from the Aviation Technology Industrial Advisory Committee (ATIAC)indicates that they place a high value on the ability to operate immediately in the globalmarketplace. This includes an understanding of the world aerospace market, cultural differences,international rules and regulations, foreign government processes, foreign business practices, andforeign language.

Aproposed aerospace certificate in partnership with another institution had attracted one student,however the certificate program never materialized. Another student indicated a desire to pursuemedical school.
