teacher’s manual on creative problem solving published by the Society for Teachingand Learning in Higher Education4.The Course GoalsIn his plenary speech at the 2004 conference of the American Society for EngineeringEducation, Dr. Woody Flowers from MIT put forth the notion that, in the very nearfuture, the kind of mathematical analysis, calculation and number crunching that has beenthe domain of the traditionally trained engineer will be accomplished to a considerabledegree by farming the work out to large, international computer facilities and data entrypersonnel that will likely not even reside in North America. Such is the global impact ofthe exponential advancement of computer technology, communication and the internet.The question then arises
students to improve their communicative skill as well as theirperformance on the writing assignments in the course. In the mechanical engineering curriculum atthis university, technical writing is not a required course; the students receive all their technicalwriting instruction in three laboratory courses.The faculty for the course and the staff of the Professional Communications Center in the Collegeof Engineering and Information Technology have worked together to strengthen the students’communications abilities. In addition to fundamental skills such as the basics of lab reports, thetarget outcomes from the communication emphasis in this course include the following that relateto writing. We aim to increase the students’ ability to:• organize
. Students have the experience described, and faculty members are able toassess the related outcomes. Suggestions have been made for other experiences that would givestudents similar experiences while permitting assessment of these outcomes.Bibliography1. “Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs,” Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, http://www.abet.org.2.

The defect image and the output response text files were then used to trainseveral networks and to find the optimum network size and the network architecture.VIII Network architecture Bayesian regularization was used for training the neural networks withMatlab’s trainer function. Each IC has its own neural network used for defectidentification. The reason being, the pitch of IC packages vary. Also, pin height, pinconfiguration, and package technologies are different. It would be extremely difficultto find one neural network that can identify defects for all ICs with different packagetechnologies, pin configuration, etc. Also, due to limited resolution of the CCDcamera, only the defects shown in Table 1

Proper processingtechniques may need to be developed for fabricating materials designed for specific technicalneeds. Newly developed materials need to be systematically characterized to

In a comprehensive article entitled, “Trends in Simulation Technologies for AircraftDesign,” an Engineer-in-the-Loop Simulator (ELS) is found to be effective, and the authorconcludes that “optimization techniques can be combined successfully with modeling andsimulation to improve the quality and efficacy of the [aircraft] design.”5 These concepts areimportant features in this project since undergraduate engineering students in future courses willbe designing custom aircraft and then “closing the loop” by virtually piloting the aircraft to testtheir designs. The aircraft modeling and simulation software/hardware will then allow them tooptimize their designs as they
