me uneasybecause I viewed corporate funding of research as unethical. Five years earlier, I had beeninvolved in a protest at a faculty council meeting at our education school. The meeting wasinterrupted by a vigil to mourn a decision made by one institute director to accept research fundsfrom an aerospace manufacturing corporation with military clients. Professors, students, and staffcame together in large numbers to protest the ethical consequences of accepting capitalist dollarslinked to the military for educational research. I had been part of this protest. I also recalled thedrug trial scandal in the mid 90s at a local children’s hospital that had illustrated the dangers ofaccepting pharmaceutical dollars for medical research [26]. As

Aerospace, Mechanical, and CivilEngineering are the only majors to require this three-credit, first-year design course. This courseis often the first time students have the opportunity to experience the design process in college.The students are able to imagine, create, build, test and present their own product. Most of thetime spent executing the design process is during class, with minimal time and effort spentoutside of class working on the project. This cornerstone design course has specific deadlinesand due dates throughout the semester that helps to maintain the flow of the class.During this study, there

The method, abbrev.FEM, originated from aerospace applications in the 1960s where large scale fuselage, wings, tailassembly, and engines needed a new tool to relate their complex geometry, materials properties,loadings and uncertainties to performance within a reasonable margin of safety. The method wasadopted by the nuclear power industry in the '70s and the automobile manufacturers in the '80s toimprove design and ensure safety of critical components and systems.
