. 1. IntroductionFor an engineering degree to be generally accepted, it must come from an institution whose degreeprograms have been certified by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).One of the essential major components to achieve program accreditation by ABET is the approval ofits capstone design activities, which are commonly referred to as its senior design courses. We havefound that a student’s successful completion of his (her) engineering design project is muchdependent of his (her) engineering mathematics background.

From the syllabi for the whole program one canextract lists of textbooks for the bookstore, or lists of bibliographic references for adquisition by thelibrary, or the short course descriptions for the catalog.

In order to reduce the burden for the faculty and yet ensure a representative cross-section of courses and student materials would be analyzed, the assessment committee identifiedtarget courses for each outcome portfolio (Table 3). This format should minimize the effort tocollect and review materials as well as to analyze student performance. In addition, since, foreach semester (fall and spring), sophomore-, junior-, and senior-level courses were selected, theDepartment will be able to analyze performance at each level in the program and

industrial engineering students see theinterconnections between the various courses they have taken. Others assume that the seniordesign capstone course will "bring it all together" for the students. Unfortunately, this is notalways true and students tend to approach problems with a single minded focus. This problemcan continue as they enter the workforce and receive specific narrow job titles such asmanufacturing engineer, ergonomist, or quality engineer. We need to clearly illustrate the needfor an integrated approach to our industrial engineering student whether it is through industryclass project, case studies, or personal experience.References1.

To help students gain additional appreciation for the increased complexity of the triangular plane stresses element the element stiffness matrix may be introduced. Emphasis should be placed on the necessity of computer program application.11. Tutorial examples of the computer software may be provided to the students so plane stress structural models and analyses may be performed.12.
