must satisfy industry uses which demand that thetechnology work correctly when needed. Thus, less time is spent in fixing bugs or limiting use towork around deficiencies in the tool. A broadly used commercial tool such as Vericut®, also hasa rich user and knowledge base that can be tapped to solve problems and to share models andfindings. Finally, students are being exposed to a tool that they will likely encounter again intheir future careers. This is important in the training of technologists, and it is a benefit for themto indicate this experience when they search for work.The Role of CNC Machining in the Curriculum CNC plays a significant role in the curriculums of both the MET and PET programs that areoffered by the ET department.

This visualization exercise would be too complex for student toproduce themselves on a paper or programming from scratch by using Matlab or Mathematica.Second, introduction to CAD used in industry engages students because students' perceive it asvery valuable to their career. To bridge the prohibitively long time to learn the software use andstudents' desire to use the software on the other side, guided software use is introduced as alaboratory project.

Eleven of approximately 30students responded to our invitation to participate in the study. We conducted individualinterviews with each of the 11 students, asking them about their interests, their anticipated lifeand career trajectories, and the kinds of activities they liked to do with their families and friends.Questions about these and other topics

Interactions between students returning from successful years abroad with those in the preparation phase are incredibly valuable for motivation and retention; there is nothing more meaningful and credible than an enthusiastic report from a peer.In sum, sending students abroad in the fourth year provides for a broad variety of logistical andpractical benefits, striking a good balance between preparation before going abroad and time todigest the experience and give back to the program upon return.How  important  is  the

Successful completion of mathematics pre-examination is often required in the continuingeducation environment; however, course titles or numbers with designated passing levels couldbe used in a university setting.

Another option, contrary to thetraditional laboratory format, is to use Competition Based Learning in the course. Competition Based Learning is essentially project-based learning, still involving teams ofstudents in an open-ended assignment resembling a scaled down version of a problem they mayencounter in their career; the added twist is accounting for the performance of the resultingspecimen during final project testing with respect to other groups in the course. The hope is togenerate motivation in the students to have the best overall project and eliminate the tendency ofjust doing enough to get by. This paper

In addition, students have anopportunity to learn high-end simulation packages that they will use in senior level courses andin professional careers later on 43.
