undergraduate engineering programs nationwide, this new teaching conceptcaught on very quickly and spread like wildfire across the nation=s engineering schools. Todaythere is hardly any undergraduate engineering program that does not require the freshmanengineering student to take such a course. UW-Platteville also joined the trend in the early 1990's.Initially, a pilot one-credit course was offered to one section of 40 students. It was well receivedamong students and faculty alike. After much discussion and review, the three-credit EngineeringMethods course which involved computer programming was dropped and in its place a two-creditIntroduction to Engineering course was designed and offered to freshmen.

In this new era of belt tightening and limited discretionary funding,Industry is looking for more bang for its buck(s) and is trying to refocus its attention oninstitutions that best meet its business and philanthropic giving needs. Academia is looking forways to ensure continued funding streams. The problem for both then, is to establish a mutuallybeneficial relationship, one that allows both parties to achieve their goals.Well, what does Industry want from Academia?First, and most obvious, Industry needs a steady supply new engineers; and more to the point,entry-level engineers who are appropriately trained in needed skill areas, who have thecharacteristics desired by Industry and who are motivated

manifested itself in economic trial. Throughout the 1970’s andearly 1980’s, U.S. industry, in almost every sector, was being battered by internationalcompetition. Foreign companies capitalized with more innovative design, more agilemanufacturing, greater productivity, higher quality and lower prices. Part of the problem was anengineering education system that graduated students with an inadequate understanding of theengineering process. They lacked an ability to convert engineering knowledge into real gains forsociety. In the ensuing twenty years, what has evolved is a partnership between government,industry and academia to the benefit of each and to the benefit of society.The new era presents many opportunities for the engineer.

Although the L-T-T concept is still in thedeveloping stage, its success has convinced one of the authors, Chiang Shih, to apply the conceptto other classes at different levels. Based on preliminary assessment, it is believed that a morecoherent implementation, both vertically throughout the curriculum and horizontally across alldisciplines, can greatly improve educational experience of engineering students.Introduction Dynamic Systems courses are among the most difficult classes for undergraduate engineeringstudents.
