To truly understand the difficulties and uncertainties that can arise in asystems integration effort, students really need to be involved in a project that exposes them to theunpredictable and unforeseeable nature of the task.A Solution In the Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Department of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, a course has been developed to address these needs. The course is entitled (not surprisingly)ManufacturingSystems Integration and is a senior-level undergraduate/first-year graduate level course. It is an elective courseand

) industrial exposure. 1) Communication Skills. This is an issue that has been identified to be addressed in the undergraduateeducation of engineering students. The practicing engineer is called upon to make verbal presentations, usingoverheads or their equivalents using the laptop computer, and to communicate through the written word. Thisis independent of the level of education, be it bachelors, masters, or Ph.D. In the context of education we findour students making verbal presentation in classes. There has been an increased awareness and attention beingpaid to tectilcal writing, e.g., lab reports, project reports and so on. At what level, though, are we dealing with communication skills? We still hear complaints about theengineering

Page 11.412.3AbstractThe ABET Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs specifically requires design incriterion three and criterion four. These requirements stem from a fundamental need forengineers to understand and carry out the design process and the requirements areunlikely to change in the foreseeable future. ABET criteria do not allow substitution ofresearch for design in an engineering program. What is the difference between researchprojects and design projects and why doesn’t ABET allow the substitution? Theobjective of this paper is to review the rationale for the design requirement in the ABETcriteria; review the differences between design and research; and to propose questionsthat can be used to differentiate between a research

EDUCATION AND TRAININGAbstractCombining teaching, research, and engagement has always been a goal of EngineeringTechnology faculty. Finding “real world” applications which can be implemented at theundergraduate level has always proved challenging as well. One method of achieving thisis to define an application area which can be managed by responsible faculty and whichcan be broken into small enough tasks to be suitable for completion by succeeding yearsof undergraduate students in their capstone design activity.At Western Carolina University and Florida Institute of Technology, a project has beenundertaken which is achieving many of these goals.

They also usuallyinclude an individual component and advocate for the use of a particular design methodology[5]. Moreover, the introduction of cornerstone design courses in engineering programs’curriculum enhances students’ interest in engineering, increases students’ retention inengineering programs, motivate learning in upper division engineering science courses, enhancesperformance in design courses [6].

Second, the course must be able to combineengineering and critical thinking skills with mathematics in order to prepare students for higherlevel courses. Third, since the development of an engineering identity has been linked withstudent retention, a goal of this project is to determine if an early exposure to engineeringcontributes to the development of an engineering identity in those non-calculus ready studentsenrolled in the

Also the person processing the data or presenting it may not be the same person whorecorded it. Even worse, the person who recorded it may no longer be part of the project. Thesetime lapses and researcher discontinuities often result in situations where data could become lost,non-credible, or incomprehensible to other researchers.
