, textbookshave been continually updated to include instructions on current technology and moderncomputational tools. Specifically, there is a chapter in most textbooks that address finite elementanalysis (FEA). However, FEA is not commonly incorporated in teaching machine designconcepts. More recently, engineering educators argue that FEA can be applied to betterunderstand the interplay between machine elements, and conversely, the content of machinedesign can be utilized to enhance students’ FEA skills [3]. To this end, significant efforts havebeen made in incorporating FEA-based simulations into teaching solid mechanics and machinedesign concepts [3-5]. However, the need for increasing the FEA content of engineeringprograms has been indicated by

. . _ Q-describing our methodology for organizing a class, we begin by assuming that the classroom isequipped with the engineering educator’s most important physical resource--a large blackboard. Indeed, weassert that the blackboard is an essential and irreplaceable tool for the effective conduct of engineering classes. Inthis ma of high-technology multi-media teaching tools, the old-fashioned blackboard is often scorned or, at best,overlooked. Yet, having tried most of the modern electronic alternatives, we invariably return to the oldstandard. As a medium for presenting information, the blackboard is far superior to the projector screen orcomputer monitor, in the following significant respects: . An instructor can write on a blackboard

The program is too largeand complicated to master in one course, and if you don’t use the program regularly theknowledge will disappear soon. Our students are required to take an introductory computergraphics course during their freshmen year. CATIA V5 is the program used in the course, butthis course is focused on learning how to use the program1. There is not an output applicationbesides creating engineering drawings

The course contains significant computer and hands-on project work inorder to implement working SDR systems. Focusing on SDRs provides a method to tie togethermany of the classes in a typical electrical engineering undergraduate’s curriculum: core coursessuch as Circuits and Devices, Signals and Systems, Embedded Microcontrollers, andEngineering Electromagnetics; as well as many of the popular elective courses such asCommunications, Controls, and Signal Processing.

ABET ASSESSMENT USING CALIBRATED PEER REVIEWIntroductionMost engineering programs have some type of capstone design experience. At Rose-HulmanInstitute of Technology (Rose) the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department alsohas a similar set of courses. Therefore, the ECE Department decided to use senior design toassess EC3(g) (ABET Engineering Criterion 3-g): “ability to communicate effectively”.However, we needed/wanted a tool to help us develop our assessment process for EC3(g).The ECE Department was introduced to the Calibrated Peer Review (CPR) [1].

And frequently it is takenby students who have bachelor’s and master’s degrees trying to upgrade their marketable skills.Thus the makeup of a typical class can range from students who have been out of high school10-12 years, recently graduated students and those with various levels of college degrees. Thereare no prerequisites for this course other than acceptance into the MET or TG program.

The use of a commercially available, windows-based, FEA computer packagecould complement other computer software typically used in most engineering technology programs. TheNINTENDO factor would thus be reinforced and perhaps additional interest generated.

One of the thermal/fluid labs examines a steam generation powerunit called the RankineCycler™, which is produced by Turbine Technologies.1 This particularlab is used by several engineering programs throughout the country, and has been evaluated byGerhardt et. al. quite extensively.2-4 The focus of this lab is to provide students the opportunity toapply several of the topics covered in the Thermodynamics classes to an actual power producingsystem. These topics include: 1) Plotting a T-S curve for a cycle 2) Calculating the isentropicand second law efficiency of a steam turbine 3) Calculating the 1st law efficiency of a powerplant.While this

The engineering curriculum is filled with analysis courses,and the focus is invariably on the analysis of completely determined homework problems thatrepresent some implied abstraction from reality (and for which a "unique" answer is available inthe back of the book).Furthermore, intuition is a vital component of human decision-making, and it is no less so inengineering problem-solving. Given the inexorable development of technology, the curriculumis under continual compaction as new topics are added and older material is edged out tomaintain a nominal 4 year program. One of the earliest casualties in this process has been theapplication of engineering principles to practical problems through the mechanism of
