This required students tocomplete design projects both in thermal and mechanical systems areas. This requirement waschanged in 2013-14 accreditation cycle and the programs are now required to prepare students towork professionally in either thermal or mechanical systems while requiring topics in each area.Therefore the design projects are only needed in one area, but students must still be exposed totopics in both areas.Table 2.

The benefit of this mentor-basedprocess was that students would transition from consumers of research to producers of research.This process was accelerated in the post-World War II period where the economic expansion andcold war competition of the time period encouraged significant financial support for research. Bythe 1970s top tier universities had interwoven organized research and graduate education andlower tiered institutions strove to emulate this practice.As US Federal research funds began to diminish in the 1970s and 1980s, reduced

McMasters and Lang indicate that few people in industry have anunderstanding of how the current engineering education is undertaken. Through design projects,the inclusion of industry partners in the education process will enhance the education provided tothe students and better reflect the expectations of industry [11].
