Manyengineering/business courses are pure lecture-based, and do not usually containcomponents that help student to boost their communication skills within the frameworkof engineering problems. The limited exposure to this critical success skill has resulted inisolated learning experience. Students lack the broad understanding in other areas ofstudy and oftentimes speaking different languages between the disciplines. Manyindustries (i.e., automotive, aerospace, electronics, etc.) are complaining about the lack ofpreparation future engineers are receiving in colleges and universities.

However conventional turbomachines are too large andheavy for a host of new applications in military, homeland security, transportation, aerospace,and other commercial applications. To address these needs, research is being conducted todevelop novel micro turbomachinery systems that are small, lightweight, fuel efficient, andportable.

beaccomplished on time are due to the prolonged software implementation stage.Model-based design (MBD) is an emerging methodology for developing complex software,especially embedded software. Its efficiency has been demonstrated in software engineering. Forexample, the Matlab/Simulink language from MathWorks that supports MBD has become thepredominant software modeling language in many motion controls, aerospace and automotiveapplications. By promoting the use of domain-specific notations to graphically representspecifications and designs, MBD can identify design flaws at the early stage and avoid costlydesign fixes during the late stage. The implementation of the software system is either generatedor derived manually from high-level models. In recent

The other three engineeringdisciplines within Tuskegee's College of Engineering, Architecture and Physical Sciences (i.e.,Aerospace, Electrical and Mechanical) all have a computer programming requirement similar tothat of the chemical engineering department. It would be infeasible for the chemical engineeringdepartment to unilaterally drop the computer science requirement. Therefore the review teamdecided not to recommend the switch to a mathematical toolkit approach. Such an approachremains an option, however, and the chemical engineering department will continue to reviewthe curriculum as
