guarded optimism4to be at the forefront of the new educational culture. As the MOOC phenomenon moves towardsmaturity, the concurrent approach within the Department of Mechanical and ManufacturingEngineering was to assemble learning technologies and techniques that modernize the entireMME curriculum and deploy them in an appealing and contemporary package. The ComEx project is imbedded within the MME curriculum. That is to say, unlike thepreponderance of simulation and/or experiment based online learning modules that have beendeveloped for specific courses5-8, whether they be in chemical, electrical, mechanical ormanufacturing engineering, the ComEx studios focus on a set of thematically linked courses.The students utilize the modules as

and complete a quality project build. The idea was to insure that the students hadcompleted enough of the build to gain the understanding about machining and tolerancing earlyin the semester. That way they would be able to complete the build and create a well-functioningdevice by the end of the semester. The second change that was made to the machine designproject build was the encouragement of using rapid prototyping technology. Students wereencouraged to use the engineering program’s rapid prototyping machine to explore fit andfunction before spending a lot of time machining the finished version of complicated parts. Theywere also allowed to use the rapid prototyping machine to create finished components if thestresses in their design

growth does not arise just from addingmore labor to more capital but from new and better technological ideas. Approximately one outof every three of our engineering students earns a dual degree (BSME and MBA) in five years.More often than not these students select this path because they see the opportunity to enhanceeconomic growth through technology applications. In the Management Department of DU’sDaniels College of Business a new Entrepreneur program has been initiated to help students ofall disciplines study innovation models. Within MME we are seeking specifically to enhance theconcept-to-product realization innovation pipeline.

Develop a foundational understanding of computer programming and how it is applied in the field of engineering. II. Develop an understanding of mathematics, numerical methods, and statistics especially relevant to the field of engineering. III. Encourage methodical, orderly, and disciplined study of engineering.Course Outcomes Page
