design. The University Curriculum Committee approved the request to change thecontact hours for Structural Analysis from 3 hours of lecture per week to 2 hours of lecture plus2 hours of laboratory per week to accommodate the experiential aspects of these proposedchanges. After assessing the changes to the Structural Analysis course, we will decide whether tomake similar changes in the class meeting times for the Structural Design courses.The Structural Analysis course syllabus lists the following broad goals for the course: a) Students will develop technical skills in classical methods for analysis of determinate and indeterminate structures. b) Students will gain proficiency in analysis structures comprised of trusses, beams, frames

. Page 5.272.1According to Gerhardt4, university research is both a process and a product that serves to createan environment that enhances classroom teaching in terms of relevance so students can gainimportant insight into research as applied to real life problems. Some universities are starting toestablish Internet connections to instruments in laboratories so that students can access realresearch data that relates to their courses5.As the need for graduate education increases, the need for qualified faculty also increases. Agood teacher is often the most active researcher and an increasing number of educators areintegrating research into teaching. Research is traditionally conducted by graduate faculty whobring research grants to the

goals became to apply and develop engineering designacross the curriculum. Starting by an introduction to engineering course in the first semester, ourcurriculum consists of design embedded courses each semester. However, that brings a challengeto us, engineering educators, to prevent this emphasis from shadowing the subject material ofeach course. Design work should not be a separate entity, but a contributory tool which can beused to support the teaching of the courses’ fundamentals1. Upper division courses are easier toincorporate design projects due to the knowledge levels and skills of the students. On the otherside, creating good design projects for lower division courses are more difficult because thestudents don’t have the analytical

basic engineering-related work is very different thaninstructing typical engineering students. Non-engineering students do not necessarily have afundamental scientific background and thus may find the material challenging. Literature reviewshows there exist previous attempts to teach non-engineers to embrace and understand engineeringconcepts (Butler & Wilson, 2010). Butler and Wilson’s work discusses techniques such as high-impact learning, course material structuring and alignment, etc. Shortly after that, (Hendrix et al.,2012) 12) performed a continuation of work done by Butler & Wilson, however, with a differentfocus. The goal of Hendrix et al.'s work is to address the issue of how to motivate non-engineeringstudents to care about

The majority (110) were upper division (91) or graduate student (19).When asked to identify major factors influencing the learning process in the engineeringfoundation course work, student responses were as follows: “good teachers (94%), “goodtextbook” (78%), problem solving sessions (70%), “small class size” (65%), and “studentinterest” (63%). To improve the quality of education, students suggested assigning well-prepared professors to teach the foundation courses. More hands-on laboratory experience wasalso recommended.Table 3.

This not only increases general confidence in the ability of the devices to beimplemented into hazardous systems, but also allows for failure analysis to be iterated on infuture designs. Educating students on the importance of reliability testing can be difficult due to thetypical ways students are exposed to devices and systems in classrooms and laboratories.Students, especially at the undergraduate level, are often exposed to devices/systems just afterlearning about them. Laboratory exercises are often geared towards normal system performanceand rarely contain fault analysis. When fault analysis is examined in a classroom environment
