Telematics is the blending ofcomputers and communication in automotive systems for automatic roadside assistance, remotediagnosis, and other vehicle information services. A cyber-physical system (CPS) is a systemfeaturing a tight combination of, and coordination between, the system’s computational andphysical elements. Applications for cyber-physical systems can be found in health care (assistedliving, bionics, wearable devices, …), transportation and automotive networks, aerospace andavionics, automated manufacturing, blackout-free electricity generation and distribution,optimization of energy
ExCEEd Teaching Workshop (ETW) is the direct descendent of the T4E workshop,Teaching Teachers To Teach Engineering1. T4E was funded through the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) for three years and was provided at the United States Military Academy(USMA) for engineering professors, such as civil, mechanical, aerospace, electrical, chemical,etc., with less than four years of teaching experience. T4E was such a huge success that ASCEdecided to continue the program under the ExCEEd Teaching Workshop moniker with onecaveat: the program was offered only to civil engineering professors with less than four years ofteaching experience. To date, there have been thirteen offerings of ETW: 1999- 2004 at USMA

aerofoils. This is crucial for designing and fine-tuning various aerospace andmechanical systems, where the precise control of aerodynamic forces is of paramount importance.In a classroom setting, the AF100 enables engaging demonstrations on the performance of anaerofoil with a flap. Students can investigate the size and shape of custom-designed blades. Thishands-on experience enhances their understanding of complex aerodynamic principles and instillsa deeper appreciation for the intricacies of wind energy technologies. The AF100 subsonic windtunnel is not merely a piece of equipment; it is a gateway to a world of research, innovation, andeducation. Its capabilities span from the analysis of wind turbine blades to fundamentalaerodynamic studies
knows who to talk to, and how to talk to aerospace industry primecontractors for technology transfer. Several venture capitalists and angel investors haveexpressed interest in technology developed at MSU, and we are committed to commercializework from MSU. We have high support from the MSU Technology Transfer Office. Our strategyis threefold: 1) Get DOD Aircraft Prime Contractors interested in the technologies developed at MSU, such that materials suppliers have to respond with a product. (This is the most desirable case since it makes a business case for investment.) 2) Engage directly with DOD Materials and Structures suppliers. We are currently working with the three largest advanced composite materials companies in the

semesters. The four required corecourses are Calculus I (Math 140), Calculus II (Math 141), General Physics of Mechanics (Phys211), Chemical Principles I (Chem 110), and in the case of computer science majors,Intermediate Programming (CmpSc 122) rather than chemistry. In the second semester of thesophomore year, undergraduates complete the Entrance-to-Major (ETM) process whereby theyformally apply to a specific Engineering major in the College of Engineering (e.g., aerospace,mechanical). Their overall grade point average after three semesters determines their eligibilityfor an engineering major. Students may use the spring semester of their sophomore year tocomplete the four required Entrance-to-Major courses.The minimum GPA for Entrance-to-Major

The lower division class is Dynamics which is a required class in the Civil,Mechanical and Aerospace engineering undergraduate degree programs. Since this course islower division and is required in three degree programs within the school of engineering, thecourse typically has very high enrollments (300-350) and often fills up due to a lack of availableseats in the physical classroom. The course covers kinetics and dynamics of particles and rigidbodies using Newton-Euler, Work/Energy, and Impulse/Momentum methods. The secondcourse in the study is Vibrations which is an elective course in both Mechanical and AerospaceEngineering

Most team projectsare supported by industry financing, although other financing mechanisms are also in place, suchas research funding. Teams typically have multiple projects ongoing at any given time andproject work can and often does carry over from year to year. Each Enterprise team has one ormore faculty advisors who guide and mentor the team and grade the performance of teammembers. Teams are run like small companies and teams select student leaders to serve as CEO,VPs (operations, finance, marketing), and project leaders
-year degree. Is the reason that most students take 5 years to graduate due to their involvement in significant and valuable extra-curricular activities, such as the co-op program, internships, study or work abroad? Or is it primarily due to their struggle in coursework, i.e. having to repeat courses multiple times to pass and complete their degrees; or, to switching majors multiple times while still remaining in engineering (for example, switching from aerospace engineering to industrial engineering, whose curricula differ quite a bit after the freshman year)?2. Do the analysis results differ appreciably if the student is female or male?In this paper, we will study retention and student behavior semester by semester, rather than
