behaviors. The following are examples of attitudinal and behavioral objectives that wouldserve to increase student commitment to engineering: • Students are highly motivated through a clear understanding of the rewards and opportunities success in engineering study will bring to their lives. • Students can give an articulate response to the question: “What is engineering?” • Students understand and know about the various academic disciplines and job functions of engineering. • Students are aware of the various industry sectors (computer, aerospace electronic, utility, large constructors, oil, etc.) and of how engineers are utilized in each of these sectors

CurriculumAbstractMEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems) and nanotechnology are believed to be theexciting drive to trigger the next wave of technology revolution. MEMS refer to systemsin micro scale (1 micron to 1 millimeter) that integrates mechanical components, sensors,actuators, and electronics on a common silicon substrate through micromachiningtechnology. Due to its low cost, small size, light weight and high resolution, MEMS hasbeen widely used in automobiles, medical health care, aerospace, consumer products andRF communications. Nanotechnology refers to a field of applied science and technologyabout materials and devices in the atomic and molecular scale, normally 1 to 100nanometers. It can offer better built, longer lasting, cleanser, safer and

Though the mechanical engineering program has,for more than twenty years, required a life science course, it still faces the challenge as tohow to provide its graduates with some biomedical background without displacing topicsneeded for more conventional mechanical engineering careers in energy, aerospace, ormanufacturing. The Department has taken two approaches to address this issue. In thefirst approach the Department has created a Biomechanical Engineering concentration,which appears on the student’s transcript, and utilizes the four technical electivesrequired in the mechanical engineering program. Over time, the faculty members of thedepartment conducting biomedical research

To date, the best method we have for visualizing thestate-of-stress has been to use Mohr’s circle(s), named after the famous 19th century Germancivil engineer, Christian Otto Mohr. Mohr’s circle applies to the case where rotations of adifferential cube about a principal direction (only) are

Citing poor presentation skills of others as well as their own successes with using the AEapproach, twenty-seven participants expressed that they think it would be beneficial to spread AEto companies and research labs. They believe that AE would improve presentations by makingthem more engaging, more effective, and easier to understand and follow. Based on theirexperience in the aerospace and automotive industries, five participants did express that theythought AE might not be the best method for presentations with great technical depth; however,they still thought that AE would be better than the traditional method in more general contexts.
