developed to introduce students to hands-onskills that could be important for BME students in design and their future careers.The BME “Cube of Knowledge” is a design and prototyping project where six design teamswork together to create a six-sided cube. Each team first develops a CAD model, rapidprototype, and engineering drawings for one side of the six-sided cube. After the creation ofengineering drawings, each team fabricates their individual side of the cube with a conventionalmilling machine based on the engineering drawings. After each team has manufactured theirown part, the six individual parts are assembled in class. A successful design and manufacturingexperience would predicate that the six parts, or “sides,” combine to create an

Projects were assigned but with only part of theone credit available, it was difficult to find enough time to meet the needs of the community andto accomplish something significant from the students’ viewpoint. These factors createdfrustration on both the students and the community partners. These trials did, however, providevaluable experience to gauge the capabilities of the first year students and allow the instructionalteam to develop materials to support the service-learning projects. These experiences reinforcedthe fact that reflection was imperative to help students process their experiences in thecommunity. These experiences also showed that the seminar format was an excellentenvironment for these reflection discussions

The general trend towardincreasing the design component in engineering curricula is part of an effort to better preparegraduates for engineering practice. While some design projects are still of the “made up” typecarried out by individual students, the vast majority of projects today deal with “real-worldproblems” and are usually conducted by student teams.

to the uncertain andstochastic nature of, as examples, project cash flows and interest rates. Unfortunately, this traditional approachdoes not provide students with the skills to deal with real world situations, which inherently involve uncertaintyand thereby, risk. Typically, most Engineering Economy texts for undergraduate students deal with uncertaintyand risk only in brief chapters, usually at the end of the book. The uncertain environment is introduced as aspecial case, rather than as the norm. In this paper, we propose an approach to learning Engineering Economythat is characterized by treatment of uncertainty and is motivated by risk; in fact, it considers the deterministiccase as a special case.
