Computer-Aided Modeling and Simulation (CAMS) – A Pathfinder Course In 1999, the authors along with their colleagues received a Nation Science Foundation CCLI-A&I (Course, Curriculum, and Laboratory Improvement – Adaptation and Implementation) grant. This led to the initiation of a prototype course to integrate problem- based learning (PBL) pedagogy into the chemical engineering curriculum by use of computer-aided modeling and simulation packages.

For instance, the machine for which the VAL-CAM program wasoriginally written does not have an automatic tool changer, whereas one of the recently installedmachine tools does have such a tool changer. The program module for this new machine allowsthe user to specify the codes that are used by the new machine that will effect an automaticchange of tool. A variety of standard and non-standard codes are also provided so that the usercan tailor the code to operate most new machine tools.The significance of this project is that the generality and modularity of the post-processor lendsitself to utilization in similar laboratories at other educational facilities.Introduction and Problem StatementA CNC code

In the case of fatigue failures, the service history of the componentcan sometimes be read from the fracture face in a manner similar to the way that aforester interprets the growth rings of trees. Fracture patterns in glass and in variousbrittle materials, can also be very revealing as to the origin and progression of thefracture, and thus the likely cause.Fundamental to an understanding of design for failure avoidance is an equally thoroughunderstanding of how and why materials, in their fabricated forms, fail. The latterunderstanding is not generally obtainable from studying laboratory fractures of standardtest specimens. These fractures are usually quite different in appearance from thefractures typically found in

It is not theresponsibility of the program evaluator to discover the fruits of assessment; it is theresponsibility of the faculty to demonstrate how assessment has caused changes in the program.Assessment and continuous improvement require a plan of action. To demonstrate that graduateshave achieved desired outcomes, some programs use student portfolios, collecting student workfrom the freshman year to the senior year using a WWW based approach. This tool is useful indemonstrating that outcomes have been achieved. Others use an exit interview for all graduatingstudents that provide important program feedback. This interview is in
