Finite Element technique and provided the correct answers without doing thehand calculation solutions. These cases were not treated as academic dishonesty cases, and thestudents were given a chance to do the hand calculation solutions and turn them in.The techniques presented here can be expanded and be included as a supplement for a vibrationanalysis course. MATLAB (which stands for Matrix Laboratory) has extensive matrix analysiscapabilities and the basis of vibration analysis is matrix algebra. The inclusion of MATLAB inan undergraduate course has the potential to get the students interested in more advanced finiteelement software such as NASTRAN/PATRAN and ANSYS.

microcontroller in various mechanical systems. Prerequisite: senior standing or permission of instructor.The objective of this course, which is open to all engineering students, is to familiarize studentswith microprocessors and their use in mechanical systems. A Motorola 68HC11 evaluationboard is used, with all programming in assembler language. Since computer educations withouthands-on experience is ineffective, ME 470/570 relies heavily on laboratory projects, with allapparatus pre-configured. It is not feasible to allow the students to construct the apparatusthemselves, since other students must use the same setup. While students understand this, theywould prefer it to be otherwise.

However implementation is not. Resource allocation forinfrastructure, laboratories, faculty salaries and other forms of student facilities are inadequate. In theabsence of accreditation standards quality control of programs and its graduates is illusionary. This isin spite of most private engineering schools charging upwards of $2,000 in tuition per year, a highamount compared to personal income. The government-funded universities and colleges, which wereeffectively free (including room) in the 1980s, have also instituted tuition fees in the range of

11973 AbstractIn the summer of 2007, the faculty and student team (FaST) program from Southern Universityin Baton Rouge, Louisiana supported by NSF, DOE, and LS-LAMP conducted a detailed studyto design, simulate, build and test a micro-pattern x-ray fluorescence gas detector at BrookhavenNational Laboratory (BNL). We used AutoCAD to design the detector’s parts that weremachined and assembled to form the proposed detector. We have used Maxwell software topredict the electrical field and potential in the drift and amplification regions of the detector.

60second-semester STEM students at Benedict College. We conducted a mixed-methods study toexamine the impact of a learning community model (the Benedict College Scientific Village),fused with critical pedagogy and hands-on laboratory research, on the collegiate success andretention of minority students in the STEM disciplines (Pantiwati, 2013). By introducing thismodel to students early in their college careers, we anticipated that various psychosocial and socio-economical impediments to student learning, retention, and academic success would beminimized. We confirmed that the Scientific Village model has a significant impact on theachievement, retention, and self-efficacy of STEM students at a small, historically Black college.The model and

In MEEN 401 Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Design in the first semester,students complete a needs analysis, generate concepts, and select a solution. In MEEN 402Intermediate Design in the second semester, students are required to verify and validate theirconcept, which is typically through prototyping/testing, computational analyses, calculations,and/or comparison to literature.

the response. In this module, arecorded lecture, a new laboratory experience, and an assignment were created. The DOEmodule targets the remaining assessment objectives of Competency 1 (C1) and Competency 2(C2). DOE was selected for these objectives because it is heavily focused on the hypothesisdevelopment, experimental plan, and data collection points. The laboratory exercises also coverdata analysis and interpretation, which could also target C3 and C4. However, since SPC coversthose topics more directly, the focus of the DOE module is to satisfy C1 and C2. Introduction ofDOE also enabled the incorporation of additional educational components. Specifically, in theDOE lab, students explore the effects of various manufacturing processes on

expectationsthat engineering audiences have for documents—expectations for titles, summaries,introductions, sections, appendices, illustrations, and equations. Until students learn theprinciples of engineering writing, a significant gap exists between what those students haveexperienced in general writing courses and what those students are expected to produce inreports for design courses, laboratory courses, and internships. Engineering colleges are responding to this gap. For instance, at the University ofMichigan [4], the College of Engineering has dropped first-year English from their curricula infavor of increasing the number of credits allotted to first-year design. Now having four credits,this first-year design course has both a design
