tocomplement the existing emphasis on disciplinary depth.To this end, the College of Engineering began efforts to integrate the student-centered activitiesin those parts of the curriculum where they could provide the greatest benefit. The first majoreffort was to restructure the first year curriculum for all students who intend to enter the Collegeof Engineering in their second year. This included the development of a new two-coursesequence entitled “Introduction to Engineering Systems.” (These courses are designated asEG111/112 and will be referred to as such in this paper.) These multidisciplinary coursesintroduce engineering students to the role of engineers in society, and illustrate how engineersdesign systems and solve problems. This is done in

A comprehensive approach to product safety is taught including the influences of designers, manufacturers, sales and marketing personnel, executives, regulators, consumers, and the use environment. The need for effective and consistent information, instructions, and marketing messaging for a product is stressed. Students will study the role of compliance with standards and regulations as well as the failure of standards developers to keep standards current.1 For its first offering, the course, ME EN 5960/6960 “Special Topics,” was offered as a joint product

the local industry around the school and theacademic and industrial backgrounds and experiences of the faculty. The depth, breadth, andtechnical rigor is usually determined by whether it is a traditional engineering or anengineering technology program and whether it is an ABET approved course. Traditionally,courses on manufacturing processes in many engineering departments emphasize just designand/or metal machining processes and little of anything else. Often the courses are devoid oftwo important elements namely the: (i) the interactions between design and manufacturingprocesses, and (ii) interaction between materials and process variables. This approachusually produces graduates who are limited in their ability to solve non-machine

The problem is that many textbooks are strong on basic vibration theory but areweak on the practical aspects of analyzers and transducers important to technologists.Conversely, many handbooks are strong on the practical aspects of analyzers and transducers butare weak on vibration theory.The text by Inman seemed to be the best compromise. Since most of the students are studyingvibrations for the first time, we did not want to leave the topics of basic vibration theory to theweak coverage that exists in most handbooks.

They were tasked with proposing a design for a semiconductor device of interest toPeach. Due to Peach’s recent interest in CSR, they were also expected to account for CSRconsiderations in every technical design proposed by their team.   The students were informed that their projects needed to meet the following learning objectives:   Explain the relationship between a semiconductor technology and one dimension of social responsibility (e.g. labor, manufacturing practices and the environment, mining, social impacts of

Indeed, these engineers have been working in the field and have had the chanceto explore the best for their career prospects. Hence, preferring MBA reflects that engineers arein need of some management-related skills. At the same time, both students (53%) and engineers(44%) believe that they cannot endure 5 years of studies. Such observation is seen asdiscouraging and may impede the process of enrolling in PhD programs. Table1

requires reflecting on what has been done[6,7]. To achieve this, students must not only practice a substantial quantity of assignments, they mustreceive feedback and then reflect on the experience. The value of feedback is well accepted. Theauthors of [8] state that prompt feedback is essential for students to improve their models and makesolid modeling more of an engineering design task and less of an art project; while both [2] and [4]contend that without feedback to remedy their models, students develop and perpetuate poor modelingstrategies. In spite of the obvious value, traditionally there is a significant time lag between theintroduction of a concept and the receipt of feedback by the student.

Often, the class becomes compartmentalizedto focus on one mechanical element at a time. While initially effective, allowing students totarget their efforts and study habits, it can be detrimental if no strong connections are builtbetween the different learning modules at the end of the class.This paper presents a case-study of a unique and highly engaging

In order to best understand a student’sperspective the facilitator must take advantage of “why,” “what,” and “how” questions. Thefacilitator should force the student to explain not only what was done, but how the studentreached particular conclusions. The facilitator’s role here is to guide the student intounderstanding his/her own thought processes and to determine the validity of those thoughtprocesses for himself/herself.
