The student also successfully tested for the electronic functionally of the system.Design Tradeoffs [5]The student was asked to seek alternatives when designing their engineering solution at thesystem, subsystem and component level. Here are sample views from the student into thistasking.Launch Method. There are numerous methods for launching objects of various types. One ofthe first that comes to mind is that of rapid gas expansion, like that employed by firearms. Whilethis method can certainly be effective, it does not fit well with the requirements for this system.A rapid gas expansion launch typically requires some type of tube which a tightly fitting object isfired through

challenge, the faculty of theDepartment of Systems and Information Engineering at the University of Virginia launched aninnovative approach to systems engineering education for working professionals. The program,first labeled “Executive Master’s Program” and, in 2003, renamed “Accelerated Master’sProgram” or AMP, was designed with following concepts in mind:1) A solid, well-conceived, well-integrated, and rigorous academic curriculum centered on systems analysis, problem solving, information technology, and decision analytics.2) Well-qualified full-time systems engineering faculty who know how to teach working professionals and can bring the same intellectual capacity to the program as is found in the research-oriented graduate program.3) A

writing it looks like the plan is to parallel an electricmotor/generator to the rear drive train, a combination battery/super capacitor will be used tostore energy during braking and release energy during acceleration. The aim is to increase fuelefficiency of the mail truck during its start-stop mail delivery cycle by 20% or more.The greatest challenges of the current project are administrative rather than technical – and thehackney phrase “herding cats” comes to mind. Four mechanical engineers have the project astheir fall-spring capstone project, two civil engineers are assigned only for their one semesterspring capstone, and two electrical engineers have joined in as a directed study for the springsemester. All three majors have different

, there would be general agreement on teaching matters since all werefaculty at the same university teaching more or less the same kinds of students and expecting thesame amount and kind of effort. This was not the case. The issue was that these were notalways simply neutral differences of some mild interest but very troubling ones at times.For example, one lesson learned was that engineering education may require quite a bit morerigor and highly deterministic analysis in its work, while marketing or design/architecture mayemphasize more creativity and intuition with a different goal in mind. The former may stressproof reached only through quantitative means as its goal while the latter may stress as a goaleffective persuasion to be reached
