. Therefore, it is important that our MS Tech curriculum (Industrial/Manufacturing Track)should also be augmented with a suitable course on quality engineering. However, in order totrain the students in terms of long term solution to reduce the variability in product and processdesign, knowing just acceptance sampling and statistical process control is not enough. Figure 1shows the various approaches of quality control and their scope in terms of reducing thevariability in the product.Figure 1: Potential levels of systematic variability reductions by using quality control techniques9The above figure reveals that an advanced quality engineering techniques based on experimentaldesign is the most effective approach for the maximum reduction of product

Different modules of the course are outlined andthe integration of simulations and experiments into the curriculum are described. Thestudent learning and the suitability of the course website in helping the student learningwere assessed. The results showed that the availability of the course material andcomputational modules on the website were very helpful to student learning, and studentsat multiple campuses could take the course simultaneously. The student evaluations ofthe experimental course suggested that the hands-on component was very well

In the classroom, the abundant access and ease of use of MicrosoftExcel make it an excellent instrument to perform engineering calculations. Integration of Excelinto thermodynamics courses requires finding a suitable method of finding properties on steamtables.

decision. This paper describes an approach to improve engineeringstudent persistence when learning calculus without having to make any changes in the currentcalculus curriculum. The method combines the integration of stand-alone engineering modules tobe solved by students outside class time and the use of engineering mentors to help thesestudents learn calculus and see the relationship between math and engineering. A survey wasdesigned to evaluate the effectiveness of the approach. An analysis of student responses to thissurvey indicates that students who participated found the engineering problems helpful inlearning and reinforcing calculus concepts, However, they remained only “somewhatcomfortable” in their ability to use calculus to solve

Feedback fromalumni and from industry continues to indicate the need for an even greater emphasis on writtenand oral communication skills, as well as the ability to function well in teams and inmultidisciplinary environments. But does this require less emphasis on engineeringfundamentals? Students often have difficulty synthesizing material from various courses. Candesign content be introduced throughout the curriculum to help resolve this without adverseeffects?

It was designed tohave authentic and meaningful assignments for students that were embedded into the workexperience and at the same time balanced the student’s academic work load with the work termwork load.
