in an engineering setting, student exposure to the practical side of each engineeringdiscipline. The application of math skills in engineering is experienced, for example, byexposing students to “data-gathering” experiments in each laboratory, data is then used toexamine, explain, or derive basic engineering theory. The second objective is achieved bygiving “broad-picture” engineering problems to illustrate the thought process behind each step ofengineering analysis, and to design and teaching students how to break large, complicatedprojects down into small manageable pieces. This is an opportunity for the departments toimmerse the students in the “hands-on” work within each field and assists the student in careerselection and
