However, the idea of filingweekly lab reports reinforces the prejudices of students, making them believe that they are in ascience course.There is no reason to get rid of the lab reports; they are a valuable writing experience forstudents. It would be valuable, however, to ask students to approach them in a different way. Theassessment project must emphasize the engineering aspects of the writing assignments over thenontechnical aspects, and traditional writing topics must be approached with technicalcommunication in mind. For instance, in discussing paragraph development the writingconsultants should use the explanation of design decisions as an example. “One-minute” papersthat utilize such an approach will be developed.CHRIS LESLIE, a graduate

Fixture Design Fixturing is one of the least understood and yet most fundamental of manufacturing processes. Wherea part is fixtured, what process it is undergoing, and the part requirements significantly change the designof the fixture. The more precise and accurate the final dimensions of the part, the more precision andaccuracy required of the fixture. Engineers design the part and then give the drawings to manufacturing.The tool designers and machinists must determine how to hold the part for the required operations. Thisis ofte”n a heuristic approach, with fixture design being more of an art than a science. However, since it isso fundamental, students should be aware of it from the onset.

Some researchers have suggested using the ratio of entrepreneurs among engineeringalumni to entrepreneurs in comparison with business or general alumni population. Others usedthe number of start-ups founded per engineering alumni within x years after graduation incomparison with those by business or general alumni population. Some even suggested using taxdata to compare their household income. While entrepreneurship is important for the economy,these criteria may not be the best way
