barrier to the use of case studies in freshman engineeringcourses is the lack of a set of integrated case studies that cover the topics and disciplines ofinterest. The purpose of this paper is to describe a set of integrated case studies used to teach alarge freshman engineering course at the University at Buffalo.Target CourseThe course for which the set of integrated case studies was developed is EAS 140: EngineeringSolutions. EAS 140 is a three-credit, one-semester course taught in the fall. The course isrequired for majors in aerospace, chemical, civil, electrical, environmental, industrial, andmechanical engineering. Over the last five years, the course enrollment has averaged 423students per year. Typical composition of the course is shown

The progression through the three levels provides the students with the knowledge andconfidence to select materials for mechanical, thermo-mechanical and electro-mechanicaldesign, as well as processes for forming, joining and surface treating the materials. Itprovides a tool that they take with them when they leave the university and start aprofessional career.4. Further adaptation to student needs. The needs of a course for engineers working in aerospace design differs from those of onefor the design of civil structures or for product design. A benefit of computer-aided teachingis the ability to customise

address the issue of structural materials. Most of the textbooks cover thecontent with the fundamental assumption that the materials are linearly elastic,homogeneous and isotropic. This pretty much eliminates a broad class of materials ofconstruction namely plastics, polymers and composites which are finding increasing useas structural materials. So as educators, we must address these issues to a certain extent,as it relates to the design of machine elements. The aerospace and automotive industriesare currently using materials that are often stretched beyond the elastic limit,necessitating the use of plasticity. Furthermore, an isotropic behavior is manifest incomposite materials that need to be addressed in the curriculum. Aside from

A number ofuniversities have begun introducing design problems into lower level undergraduatecourses.1,2,3 Miller at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has developed a number ofsmall, hour long, design-like exercises that aim to give sophomore engineering students a feelfor some of the engineering concepts. Other approaches to using design early in thecurriculum include the Tip-A-Can project at Rochester Institute of Technology,4 and MIT’sLighter-Than-Air project in a first year aerospace engineering course.5One approach that is popular with educators is incorporating “hands-on” projects intoengineering courses.5,6,7 These “hands-on

If our students are to be successful in the workplace,educators must examine the kinds of topics that students will face.Data ExchangeExchanging data between two CAD systems and between a CAD system and other engineeringapplications continues to be a major concern for many firms. This is especially true for theautomotive and aerospace industries where hundreds of subcontractors may be contributing to theproduction of the final design. Companies typically select from direct translators (where files areread and written in their native data sets), international standard file formats such as STEP, IGES,etc., or from various software that runs from a common geometry kernel to produce machine-independent

In that case they tend to care for your development more than the ones that are here.

resources available, identification of the most appropriate resources forthe need, and then effective utilization of those resources. Identification of resources has becomemore difficult as resources proliferate. Resources include databases that index journals,conferences, reports and books such as Compendex, NTIS, Aerospace Database, etc., onlinecatalogs, full text books, journals, standards and handbooks, datasets, graphics, videos, and more.Narrowing the field of information appropriately is the first challenge. There are several ways toaddress this proliferation of resources. The traditional handout or a short talk/demonstration willfocus attention on the most appropriate resources; however, utilizing the web is fast, highlyadaptable and
