As with the 2005 survey, a large percent of respondents selected “other.”Written responses for “other” reveal a small portion of respondents that taught specialized topicssuch as nuclear or mining engineering. A larger percentage selected “other” because they taughtgeneral engineering, interdisciplinary, or multiple capstone design courses

Most graduates of the proposed degree program with sustainability initiatives are expected to seek or continue employment in northeastern Indiana where it deeply affected with economic downturn and where the new initiatives are into sustainability. Many companies in northeastern Indiana require graduates with the skills provided by this degree. MET and IET graduates have been placed in occupations similar to those in which MFET graduates would work with companies in the northeast Indiana area such as: International Truck, ITT (Aerospace- Communications), Central Soya, General Electric, General Motors, Dana Corporation, Superior Essex

In Apollo 1,faulty wiring in an explosive atmosphere led to loss of the capsule and crew. (Three years later,Apollo 13 was almost lost due to faulty wiring in an explosive atmosphere.) Almost thirty yearslater, TWA Flight 800 was lost with all aboard due to faulty wiring in an explosive atmosphere.The Concorde, which had a long history of tire failures causing wing and fuel tank damage, waslost when it hit debris and a

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
