However, the TAC of ABET criteriadoes go on to say that depending upon the educational objectives of the program, includingapplied statistics, advanced trigonometry, and/or differential equations may be necessary. Withone additional year of math, graduates of CET programs would have the same level ofunderstanding and potential to do design and analysis in CE topics as would CE graduates.The second large difference between CET and CE programs, is that TAC of ABET requires CETprograms to have a large number of laboratory hours, preferably a required lab for every coursein a technical specialty

The course, however has taken on a somewhat morestructured approach than the previous description. The teams work together on homework,laboratory assignments, and function as a group during lecture activities. Exams, quizzes andlaboratory reports continue to be an individual effort. However, a bounus of 5% is offered onexams for teams whose members all score above 80%. The current offering will also incorporatethe all-day design project described in this paper.Biographical

The semester-long project allows students to improve theirteamwork and communication skills.Thin-walled structures play a key role in the design of modern aircraft [8]. Components such aswings and fuselage are designed to reduce as much of the structural weight as possible, thus,making compression-induced instability and failure a major design criterion. Buckling refers to astructural instability caused by a sudden out-of-plane deflection when the applied load places allor part of a structural member’s cross-section under compression [9]. To prevent buckling, thethin skins of aerospace structures are supported or
