There is growing demandfor engineers trained in this area, as many companies engaged in metal forming research are turningtowards virtual forming. Kettering University recently funded a grant proposal to procure ahydraulic press that has adaptive controls allowing experiments in non-circular forming andparametric studies that will facilitate the creation of real forming models for subsequent simulation.Another grant proposal is in preparation stage requesting funds to procure a dedicated high-speedcomputer server and terminals to support the virtual forming laboratory.

Comments range from, “I will never have to write again,” to “I’m going to be anengineer and that means NO English!” We realize that with a little thought from thesestudents on the reality of life in the world of engineering will ultimately change thisperspective. But it is an incoming group that sees engineering in a different light from thefaculty and academic staff. It is important, therefore, to make every effort to juxtapositionthe teaching of the necessary technical material with those skills that will make an engineerboth suited for the real world technically and fully capable of communicating his or herengineering expertise to a waiting public.Obviously it is important to

In a typicalelectrospinning process, a jet is ejected from a charged polymer solution when the appliedelectric field strength overcomes the surface tension of the solution. The ejected jet then travelsrapidly to the collector target located at some distance from the charged polymer solution underthe influence of the electric field and becomes a solid polymer filament as the jet dries.

The success in achievement of this goal is determined by severalfactors including effective teaching, appropriate assessment strategies, and faculty expertise, toname a few. However, due to increasing number of students in a classroom, the quality of workof graduate teaching assistants becomes another important component that contributes to thestudent performance [Norris 1991]. Indeed, a large classroom makes it impossible for instructorsto carry all teaching load alone, and departments assign graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) whohelp instructors to conduct recitations and lab sessions, proctor exams, answer

While this course has been successful atachieving its objectives in the past, it was felt that it could be improved in terms of class size anddepth of coverage. This year the class was taught in four segments. The first segment was notaltered – lectures were delivered to the whole class in the traditional manner, combined withsmaller laboratory segments. Lectures included: engineering as a profession, the engineeringdesign process, information on each engineering discipline, teamwork and learning styles. Thiswas complemented by a team project in

Graduatestudents are reminded about the importance of material safety data sheet, safe experimentalpractice and waste disposal constraints within the organization. However, addressing the samecomponents every semester may not be an effective methodology, particularly for residentgraduate students. Further, there are a number of safety issues one has to consider and oneseminar may not be sufficient to address all the components with ever changing global issues.For example

activity of successive decomposition in programming may result in significanteducational benefits in many areas, including those unrelated to computer science.This paper presents an approach to teach an introductory programming course focusing at first on thedevelopment of the steps of algorithm using pseudocode, instead on the syntax of the language itself.For beginners programming language syntax can be very discouraging and intimidating. Student’sinterests are withdrawn if they are introduced to the syntax at the very beginning. At this stage oflearning the goal should be capturing the essence of designing a solution instead of focusing on thecomplexity of the programming language implementation.
