The projects provide a good motivation for the students and an excellenttool for assuring knowledge integration, team work, management experience, and self-confidentstudents, plus a way to obtain funds for investment into quality teaching3. Intercollegiate designprojects are a great means to engage students in engineering design projects beyond the curriculum,where they put their coursework into practice. Design competitions give the students hands-onexperience as well as build student enthusiasm. The experience of designing, building and testinga vehicle gives the students a real world

In the report there was the recognition of adual, yet highly integrated educational continuum spanning the engineering-technologyundergraduate and graduate curriculums.Based on this report, most college and universities went on to associate under a single college orschool the disciplines of engineering and technology. The curriculums were evolved with asingular focus.

represents the sum of the areas ofthe composite parts or simply the total area. Also, if the total area is symmetrical about an axis,the centroid of the area lies on the axis.10Figure 6. Algebraic Distances for the Centroid.The moment of inertia of an area is a geometric property that is calculated about an axis. It is ageometric property that is calculated about an axis and for the x and y-axes shown in figure 7 itis defined as the integrals. These integrals have no physical meaning, but become very usefulwhen combined with the parallel axis theorem for an area. Note: Although similar information,the moment of inertia of an area should not be confused with the moment of inertia of a mass,which is a dynamical property of matter.10Figure 7. Area
