constraints ofthe typical mechanical engineering curriculum. In order to meet this challenge, the VCUMechanical Engineering Department has begun development of an NSF-sponsored “ExperientialEngineering Library” that will provide an easily accessible environment for hands-on learningexperiences beyond the traditional Mechanical Engineering curriculum. The library will fostercritical thinking by encouraging students to apply fundamental mechanical engineeringprinciples to interdisciplinary research in emerging fields such as microelectromechanicalsystems (MEMS), bioengineering, and nanotechnology. The present article describes the libraryconcept, elaborates on its contents, and describes its impact on student interest and performancein a pilot course

Funded by the AlumniAssociation from the John and Erna Hewitt Endowment, the center supports writers at all classlevels and abilities. The Hewitt fund also supports an annual competition that requires allstudents to write substantial researched arguments during each of their four years. During theirthird-year, students write a paper as part of a required class in their major.In 2003 USCGA hired a full-time director and moved the center from the Department ofHumanities to the Department of Academic Resources to support WAC more effectively.
