Then,the scary creature looks around, ostensibly, seeking out the victim. Suddenly, he raises his armin a threatening manner. Then, his demeanor changes and he waves. Simultaneously, thesnowman speaks! He cheerfully greets his audience, transforming at once into a lovable friend.A complete flowchart of the scope of the project is given in Figure 1.

If successful, this approach can then be used for integrat-ing BME into other engineering disciplines within a college of engineering, which may thenserve as the foundation of an interdepartmental undergraduate BME degree program. 3. Implementation The proposed prototype includes eight experiments to be incorporated into the ECE corecurriculum, along with a new technical elective with its own project(s) to achieve the abovestated goals and objectives. Depending on the specific class, the experiments can take anywherefrom 1 week to 15 weeks. The experiments are designed to be increasingly complex and

By thetime we present this paper in Portland, we expect to have the 2005 grade data available as well.In addition, we have received verbal (qualitative) assessment from professors specificallyanswering the questions of whether the use of Vis-MoM appears to provide students with theneeded Mechanics of Materials background. According to this qualitative feedback, the studentshave not suffered a lack of ability to use foundational Mechanics of Materials background due tothe introduction of Vis-MoM.

theatreschools made their educational programs more technical to address this increase in complexity,some of the shows became much too technically based to be handled by the more traditionallytrained theatre technicians.The University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) is a relatively young institution. While it has hadsome engineering courses offered since the 1960’s, its College of Engineering was initiated inthe late 1980’s. With the exception of a limited number of technically based businesses as wellas a US Department of Energy presence, very little industrial base exists in Las Vegas. In fact,the desire to diversify the economy was one of the motivations to set up the College ofEngineering at UNLV.In the early ‘90s a series of discussions took place

these collaborations aroseHow does one “find” organizations that are not now linked to the CoP, but would be beneficialadditions to the community? This process begins by the willingness of members of the initialCoP to be “boundary crossers” and join other organizations. In our case, all of the three authorswere already members of at least one of the proposed partner organization (ASEE and AERA).And two of the authors were members of all three communities (ASEE, AERA, and POD).Once these partner communities or organizations have been identified, then discussions canbegin with the respective core group(s).
