The purpose of our project is toenhance student learning in digital logic design, using state-of-the-art software andhardware development tools. This purpose will be realized through a partnership amongthree universities in Southeastern Michigan and through collaboration with the AlteraCorporation [which will provide the necessary software and hardware.The project has four teaching objectives. These are:1) to enhance engineering education in the digital design area, particularly at the three partner universities [Wayne State University (WSU), University of Detroit Mercy (UDM), and

An outline of course topics and laboratory projects is includedin this paper along with detailed highlights of effective course activities. This paperdemonstrates that the topics of fatigue and fracture mechanics fit well with the mechanicalengineering technology (MET) curriculum and the MET student.BACKGROUNDThe course has two primary components: fatigue and fracture mechanics. This section provides abrief description of these two topics.The term fatigue, in the engineering sense, means the mechanical fatigue of materials.

In an effort to counter this, students in asophomore-level “Energy Balances” course are asked to help develop a rubric that will be usedto grade and assess a team project in the course. The mechanism for including student input inrubric development and assessing the ability of the students to use the resulting rubrics for selfevaluation will be discussed.IntroductionThe chemical engineering curriculum at Ohio University requires students to complete open-ended assignments in a team environment at the sophomore, junior, and senior levels.

We found that students submitting much later past the deadline (more than a coupleof days) struggle more than those who submit assignments within a reasonable period (within afew days) after the first deadline. The students themselves reported some struggles with timemanagement on some assignments because the flexible deadlines allowed them to fall too farbehind with no external penalty. However, the students also greatly appreciate a few extra daysleniency, especially on larger assignments like projects and assessments.In general, it appears that a good compromise between timely

Many AE graduates areconfronted with these fragmentation problems in real-world construction projects, such as poorcommunication and lack of cooperative consciousness or experience [2]. Compounding this, the problemof fragmentation also exists in the education field that leads to certain consequences and a cyclic educationdeficit problem. Studies from researchers illustrate that most engineering students were taught technicalknowledge via isolated and, thus domain-specific courses with limited to no teaching of integratedapproaches. This limited educational focus causes a lack of knowledge and experience in collaboration forstudents entering the workforce [3]. Moreover, the education model of the AEC

evolved over the years, becoming morehands-on and project-based to allow students to develop, innovate and learn from the designprocess [4]. However, many curricula still need to implement programs or courses for students toactively engage with global engineering and discover how cultures, settings, and ideologies canimpact engineering and design. There have been attempts to incorporate these concepts intohumanitarian engineering activities to help students consider marginalized groups and encourageempathy [4,5]. While these programs allow students to think about others, there is still a gap thatneeds to be filled for students to gain a global perspective on engineering design, especially inlow-resource settings.
