This indicated to us that the FE Review course was no longeradequately preparing the students to pass the FE exam. In the original format, students wereideally prepared to take the exam immediately following the end of the course, but under theCBT format the exam can be taken almost any time throughout the year. With this in mind, wedecided to revamp the course to make it more flexible, allowing students to review material inareas where they need help and do so closer to the time when they would take the exam.There are a number of commercial FE review courses available, but our engineering GenZdesign team chose to develop a course for our

This is not a small measure.It takes time to oversee effort like this from a development standpoint and university perspective.Our combined teams feel so strongly of the value of Senior Projects, CO-OPs and joint learningopportunity that all are placed at high value. In an environment where competition andtechnology leadership are on everyone’s minds, the ABET requirements of the colleges ofengineering make a case of long term benefits of great value to all parties.Just about all our engineering departments want more projects submitted to the MEDITECprogram.

The Dreadnought makes an excellent example of how great architectures areoften the result of a single great mind; in this case Admiral Sir John “Jackie” Fisher, the leadarchitect. While Fisher had other notable traits (such as a keen recognition of the importance ofthe human capital involved in fighting a war), the biggest breakthrough on the Dreadnought wasthe use of the Parsons turbine.
