to address this weakness by our mid -term letter of2001, it was decided by the faculty in the program to offer an elective in finite element analysis.As the faculty member with the most industrial and academic experience with finite elementanalysis, it fell upon the author to design the curriculum for the course and prepare a courseoutline for routing through the various curriculum committees at the college.At first, the prospect of performing this task was met with great excitement, as it would allow theauthor an opportunity to formulate and teach a course in his specialty area; however, thisexcitement soon gave way to skepticism. The author had taught the course on a graduate level;here, it must be taught on an undergraduate level. The

Although the EETprogram had used this basic curriculum structure for decades, it was becoming clear that theerosion of academic standards in the secondary education system was taking its toll on thefreshmen's ability to function adequately in an environment where grades were based ondemonstrated ability rather than effort, seat time, or extra credit assignments.At OIT, merely introducing a student to a topic is considered inadequate. We cover topicsthoroughly, and expect mastery of the topic by the student in return. This educational philosophydictates that students follow the rule of thumb of two hours of homework outside of class forevery hour in lecture, plus plenty of hands-on reinforcement in the laboratory.

I’d like to present some ways in which we can help makestudents' oral communication experiences more successful, useful, and lasting by making them more comfortable. When I first started teaching the oral presentation seminar for junior-level chemical engineering studentsat Michigan Tech six years ago, I inherited a course where each student gave two 10-minute speeches on sometechnical or scientific topic. The topic could be one they had researched in a journal, something covered in class,or, for those lucky enough to have co-oped, a review of that co-op or internship work. As

Around ten years ago, it was decided to split the coursein two, with half being oriented to mechanical engineering and the other half to electricalengineering. This made sense since the Department of Engineering offered majors inmechanical, electrical and computer engineering, and student surveys indicated a desire for anelectrical component in the course. In recent years, the single Department has been divided intoa Department of Mechanical Engineering and a Department of Electrical and ComputerEngineering. Therefore, it was decided to team teach the course using instructors from the Page

Every student at Kettering University rotates between anacademic term and a co-operative education term, where students will work as engineeringinterns. The students do this rotation twice a year from the moment they enter the university.Because of this constant exposure to industry, students learn many of the ‘soft’ engineering skillsthat are difficult to teach in a classroom environment. However, this experience makes thestudents at Kettering ‘non-traditional’ students. They tend to filter their academic experiencesthrough their work experiences. The students
