This class was integrated to provide us with real life situations, that engineers encounterevery day. All of the four learning objectives were touched in this project, with more weighing more thanthe other. The first learning objective of this course was to develop, set-up and solve mechanical component designproblems based upon given upon given data and requirements. Each person was given a starting point(design requirements) and an end point (common goal of making a complete subsystem). The stuff inbetween was solely up to each group. With that in mind, our group was responsible for setting up andsolving

engineering software packages. The wide availability of MS Excel contributes toits use. With this in mind, an Add-in for MS Excel is being developed to provide a usefulpackage of engineering functions for heat transfer instruction. The initial Add-in was developedto calculate the dimensionless temperature for 1-D transient heat conduction in a solid. TheAdd-in includes 4 functions which handle a plane wall, infinite cylinder, sphere and semi-infinitesolid. Additional modules have been developed to calculate the local or average Nusselt numberfor internal or external flows and the view factors for different 3-D radiation heat transfer set-ups. Currently, these three modules are presented separately as part of a Heat Transfer course,but could be

world news. More specifically, if contemporary issues pertain to thediscipline of engineering, students will do little to maintain their knowledge apart from what isdiscussed in the classroom context. In reality, this topic must be more intentionally interjectedinto the curriculum to show application of engineering principles.Two categories of courses come to mind that should adequately support “soft” outcomes. Onesuch course would be a senior capstone design course. Berg and Nasr discuss such a course.1 Itis true that the capstone design course should be the pinnacle of an engineering program, wherestudents are able to integrate all aspects of their education into a challenging project. It is anatural place to discuss topics in the
