Dym, et al. present how engineeringeducation is being challenged to require students to consider additional design constraintsrequired as part of “new fundamentals” [5]. In response to this challenge, the CoE at WSU is aleader in reshaping the undergraduate experience to prepare the engineer of 2020, and at thesame time make the educational experience more meaningful to the student and the student moredesirable to local and national industries. As such, the CoE requires that for an Engineering BSdegree at WSU, each student will complete the program course requirements and at least three ofthe following six

Additionally,cadets give a poster presentation at USMA’s annual Project’s Day held during the Springsemester each year.ConclusionThe pyroelectric crystal accelerator at West Point provides the cadets in the Department ofPhysics and Nuclear Engineering a unique opportunity for outside the classroom, discoverylearning. Cadets can apply classroom skills to real world applications while gaining valuableresearch, critical thinking, and problem solving skills. This project will help them to be moreproductive in future academic endeavors as well as in future career fields.1.

benefit is determined using a four-parameter “S-shaped” function of bridge strength.Grades are assigned using a weighted comparison of bridge profits (82%) and the group’saccuracy in predicting the strength of their bridge (18%) according to profit and accuracy gradestandards established at the beginning of the semester. Thus, although it is considered acompetition, students do not compete for grades, as there is a fixed and predetermined standardthat determines each project’s grade.

learning.Keywords: manufacturing engineering education, globalization, experiential learningIntroductionHistorically, civil and industrial engineering were the largest concentrations, producing themajority of engineering graduates at Geneva College, a Christian liberal arts college in westernPennsylvania1. Since the mid-1960’s, however, the engineering program saw an increase ofdiversification into mechanical, electrical, computer and chemical engineering. By the early1990’s, the Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering (BSIE) program, once the mainstay ofthe Engineering Department, was attracting less and less students. This trend was in line withthe termination of the GI program after World War II and the steady decline of the steel industry
