The nature of graduate studiesGraduate school provides opportunity for students to pursue master’ s degrees and doctoraldegrees. While masters degrees often provide students an opportunity to gain expertise in aspecialized field and return to professional practice, a few students continue to earn doctoraldegrees.

This course was chosen because previous work has demonstrated that hands-onexperiences in DSP courses can increase student’ s desire to learn5. Additionally, DSP laboratoryexercises are typically software based, not requiring any further hardware than student’ s personallaptops, which makes the mixed learning approach feasible6. Finally, the course possesses arelatively small student population from a variety of disciplines, making it a good choice forapplying this method.The studio laboratory exercises are designed to be

used on most hob-by CNCs are: • Lead Screws: Ball or ACME lead screws with anti-backlash nuts are commonly used in traditional CNC machines. The lead screws can be chosen with a high start ratio for in- creased speed or a single start ratio to generate more linear force. • Timing Belts: Belt-based systems typically require a pulley, idler(s), and belt clips and can be arranged in either a closed (closed loop belt) or open (belt segment) configuration. Timing belts require constant tension during operation and are prone to stretching during abrupt direction changes, in particular under load. Table 2-2: Comparision of Mechanical Motion Methods

Such projects requirean understanding of the capabilities of the student teams on the part of the corporate sponsors, aswell as an understanding of the culture and expectations of their corporate partners by thestudents and faculty.

The unique features of therevised curriculum comprised an interdisciplinary approach with a business minor as an integralelement of the CM major. Service learning was incorporated at all levels in the form of “S”designated courses. At the freshman level, CM 1S, the orientation course; in the mid-level, CM7S, the construction materials and assembly course; and at the senior level, the capstone course,CM 180S provide the experiential learning opportunities with one or more community basedorganizations (CBOs) in the field of construction.
