Aerospace and Mechanical Engineeringcourses as approved by their advisor. At least six units of the technical electives must includeengineering design content.An essential feature of the new program that better addresses ABET 2000 Criterion 4:Professional Component, is the addition of the two semester senior capstone sequence (Engr.498A/498B). Students under the old BSOE program had for the most part participated in one ormore notable design experiences in their required courses (as discussed in the Self-StudyReport), but their experiences were admittedly varied, ranging from marginally acceptable toexceptional examples of a major design experience.In preparing for the ABET accreditation evaluation visit, attention was also focused onformalizing

The endurance limit of toughened composites can bemuch higher than for steel and aluminum. Composites have certain disadvantages: they areexpensive; there is lack of high productivity manufacturing methods and clear-cut design rules.Composites have enormous number of applications in the aerospace, automotive, construction,sports and medical industry. Constituent materials in the composite are fibers and matrix. Fibers are major load carryingcomponents. Matrix transfers stresses between the fibers, provides barrier against adverseenvironments, protects the surface from abrasion and provides lateral support. The differentfibers used are

Manufacturing EngineeringTechnology program at Arizona State University. The first project started with a valve bodyproduced by Allied Signal Aerospace (now Honeywell). Blueprints and mentors from AlliedSignal provided the industry-based aspects of the course. The MECO students producedindustrial quality drawings, removing the Allied Signal name and modifying materials and parttolerances to meet the ASU laboratory capabilities. Then the MECO students created molds andcast 20 parts for machining. Other classes wrote the process plans (routing), designed and builtfixtures, and machined the final parts on a CNC-machining center. Furthermore, inspection andcontrol charts were developed on a Mitutoyo Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) and qualityassurance

On the otherhand Figures 2, 3, and 4 do not exhibit a similar correlation.
