The goal of designing an effective and efficientprocess using the integrated CAD/CAM and composite tooling technologies was alsosuccessfully achieved. The process as designed was based on different topics the student learnedfrom various undergraduate and graduate courses. This study provided a very valuableexperience for the faculty advisor. As a result, the following curriculum changes wereincorporated: • IET 458 Advanced Computer-Aided Design was implemented to cover the topic of reverse engineering in addition to surfacing techniques.

Whether or not to require the use of “trig tables” is anargument settled long ago, but the role of software in engineering education continues to be atopic of discussion.This paper presents one model that addresses this topic from the development of the textbook allthe way through the delivery of the student experience by individual faculty members.

In thiscourse, students must integrate their previous learning from the electronics bridge courses thatwere taken at their AAS-level colleges. Besides being an inherent concept reinforcementvehicle, this course serves as the primary bridge from the electronics bridge and calculus coursesthat were taken at the AAS-EET level to the +2 BS-EET curriculum. Numerous EET studentshave told their instructors that in this course they realized that they were “in the right place,” thatthey could “handle” the academic rigors of a BS-EET program, and that they were committed tocompleting the program.

Gardener views intelligence as an individual’s abilityto solve problems or create products that are valued by society. The implication for teaching andlearning is that instructors need to vary the inputs and have a repertoire of strategies forfacilitating learning. The more ways we find to process material, the stronger learning becomes.We need to recognize there’s no “one best way.”Learning is enhanced in an enriched environment. The physical environment of the classroom iscertainly important (aesthetics, climate, etc.), but so too is the learning environment that wecreate to get
