Inaddition, our Manufacturing System Engineering offers a graduate course for newproduct development within a corporate framework.Entrepreneurship teaching – undergraduate: Since the mid 1990’s Lehigh has offeredan award winning cross-disciplinary program in Integrated Product Development (IPD)for students in engineering, business and the design arts. For the past six years, theprogram has focused on technical entrepreneurship through new product development,with industry sponsorship of cross-disciplinary student teams [Ref 4]. The IPD programhas also engaged local entrepreneurs and

11As can be seen in Fig 2, higher FC causes higher TC which results in a higher BE point.This is the concern when comparing the traditional courses with online courses. Twoways to compensate or correct for this higher BE Point is to charge a higher course feefor the online course or increase the number of students in the online course at the oldfee.Twigg’s Cost for his Online course within a Mature SystemUsing data collected by the authors and applying them to Professor Twigg”s onlinecourse, we calculated the fixed costs for his online MET 111 course.

The students were volunteers who wereselected on a first-come basis and compensated for their time. We followed a protocolduring the sessions: first we gave the student a written copy of each question and thenread it aloud. We asked the student to tell us what concept s/he thought the questionaddressed and then asked him or her to solve the problem thinking aloud and usingsketches, notes, etc., if desired. We asked questions intended to probe the students’thought processes as they solved the problems and tape-recorded the sessions for latertranscription and analysis. We also collected all

ofthese Case Studies taken from the author’s Instructional Lecture Notes, keep in mind thegeneral common features that are intended to attract the attention of the reader (thestudent engineer):1. The attempt to seamless integrate (some would say “sneak up on the student”) theengineering problem or life situation into a cultural setting,2. The clear references to names and dates in a readable style that is done in a writingstyle that is less of the sterile engineering that is often found in technical papers and textsand more of a common language.3. The action item(s) at the end of the Case Study presentation that attempts to have thestudent study or at least appreciate the human or social content of the situation as well asengineering content.4

with each class, I’m not sure I could say Ilooked forward to the students’ final evaluations. But since I planned, prepared, performed eachclass and received interim feedback from my students, peers and senior instructors, I feel Isignificantly improved my skills as an instructor in a short amount of time. And, perhaps moreimportantly, I have implemented a personal teaching model that will continue to help methroughout my career.Bibliography1. Lowman, Joseph.

in Figures 6(a) and 6(b) are actually idealized as aspring-mass system model shown in Figure 6(c) for mathematical analysis. In all the threemodels shown in Figure 6, the mass M has one degree-of-freedom and can vibrate horizontally.The stiffness K represents the stiffness of the column(s), which can be experimentally ortheoretically determined from the following formula: K = 12EI/L3, if the top end of the columndoes not rotate, and 3EI/L3, if the top end of the column does rotate. In these formulae E =modulus of elasticity of the column material, I = moment of inertia of the column cross-section,and L = clear height of the column.
