The described approach could easily besuccessfully applied to projects in any engineering discipline.IntroductionMany airplane design capstone courses in aeronautical and aerospace engineering programs inuniversities around the globe have adopted a purely theoretical approach to teaching design.This approach is characterized by assigning senior design students the task of re-designing a partof an existing airplane. Often this re-design requires utilizing a computer code or routine thestudents may or may not have written. The students may not be completely familiar with theboundary conditions or restrictive assumptions of the given routine. While this approach maymirror the tasking assigned a beginning engineer in

Revitalizing undergraduate energy conversion educationGiven the motivation to update the undergraduate core energy conversion course, the fundamen-tal issue to be addressed is identifying the content that will best serve the educational needs ofstudents over the span of an engineering career. This is a speculative task, but the continuingtrends over the previous decades can provide a guide. First, the application of electric energyconversion processes continues to expand.

Motor Vehicles and Parts have lead the sector with thelargest revenue and employment counts, followed by Aerospace and Defense, then Industry andFarm Equipment. The Automotive industry presents itself here as the dominant industry notonly in the Mechanical sector, but also across all manufacturing industries. As the Automotiveindustry accounted for 7.3% of manufacturing revenue and 11% of manufacturing employmentin 2007, it is considered the indicator of US manufacturing health. It is important to note that theMechanical sector is relatively healthy
