Metalstrengthening mechanisms were reviewed in detail, in particular; precipitation hardening. Theformation of different precipitates and phases in typical aerospace (2000 and 7000 series alloys)based on their principal alloying elements (Cu, Zn etc) were also discussed.Shared Course Topics and Student InteractionsPart of the materials supplied by the sponsor this year were post-tested fatigue specimens used toevaluate variants of 7075 aerospace grade aluminum alloys. These specimens were intended toprovide fracture design data, and were of miniature
all faculty interested in teaching the course compare notes on what workedand what did not, etc., and what improvements to the course are needed, etc. Thismeeting ends with an agreement on what changes will be implemented and how it will bedone. This simple process assures a continuous improvement of the course.Teaching InnovationsEberhardtA course I teach is a "general education" course in aerospace engineering2,3. The courseis designed to satisfy a University graduation requirement and is not intended for studentsspecializing in science or engineering. What was learned in the Welliver program hashelped immensely. Teamwork is stressed, airplane design is taught from a

-called school reform whereby 2 or 3 departments were merged into one1. For example, in thecase of the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, three former departments-Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Design and Production, Aerospace Engineering-weremerged. The main objective of the school reform was to expose students with diverse coursesand to allow them to choose their major from a rather broad field.In addition, freshmen are admitted to the Engineering College without being designated a fixedmajor. They would decide their major after having completed the freshman year. These studentswill be offered to take introductory courses for engineering majors each semester to help themgrasp the kinds of studies they will be going to do and
global.I. Introduction“Going Global” is a popular term in both academia and industry today. What does that mean?Traditionally it has meant offering international study opportunities for students and facultyexchange. While this is still true, developing a program that is “global” entails much more thanthat. Feedback from the Aviation Technology Industrial Advisory Committee1 (ATIAC)indicates that they want students who are able to operate in the global marketplace. Thisincludes understanding the world aerospace market, cultural differences, international rules andregulations, foreign government processes, foreign business practices, and foreign language

Approximately14 North Carolina A&T State University faculty in the areas of science, mathematics,engineering, and technology faculty conduct research on supported NASA projects. In1998, the North Carolina A&T College of Engineering was recently selected as a site fora NASA Partnership Award for the Integration of Research into MSET UndergraduateEducation (PAIR). The North Carolina A&T NASA-PAIR program has been under thedirection
undergraduateES degree program selected the BME option. For this reason and the decreased interest ofstudents in other engineering science sub-disciplines, it was decided by the faculty of the parentdepartment (Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Science) that a newundergraduate program in BME should be developed to replace the undergraduate ES program.Subsequently, during the 1999-2000 academic year, a new curriculum was developed, and wasinitially offered to students in the fall 2000 semester.

Aerospace Controls are used. They come in a range of sizes. They convert the AC current into a DC voltage in the range of 0-10 volts DC to be read by the data acquisition board. • Thermometers: For measuring temperatures, integrated circuit temperature devices are used. These are known as "LM-35" devices from National Semiconductor. They are much lower cost than either thermocouples or resistance temperature devices (RTDs) and are simpler than thermisters. These devices are about the size of a No. 2 pencil eraser. They require a source of DC voltage (about 12 volts) to operate. They produce a DC output voltage that is the temperature divided by 100. The data acquisition board can read this voltage and the software converts

” workshop sponsored by the Penn State University, forthe National Coalition for Manufacturing Leadership, the consensus opinion of the industryparticipants seconded that two of the major skills in which engineering graduates were weak areinterpersonal and communication [NCML,1996]Consequently, the Penn State Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering (I & ME) departmenthas designed a Capstone course to address these weakness. The Capstone course began in theSpring of 1994 as a joint effort between Industrial and Aerospace Engineering to design andmanufacture a full size sail plane. By the fall of 1995 the course had expanded to 10 projects; allof which were inter-disciplinary. Examples of projects include: design and fabrication of semi-automated

Other key technologies,including data handling, global networking, CAD, CAM, CAE, CNC machining, investmentcasting, RTV molding and virtual prototyping, all come together around RPM. But only a fewcompanies are reaping the full benefits of the RPM and its associated
