Be able to define sustainability 2. Identify sustainability issues in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere 3. Apply the engineering design process to sustainable projects 4. Summarize methods to measure sustainability 5. Analyze examples of sustainable and non-sustainable programs.Participants were also exposed to field experiences to observe issues in sustainability.Assessment of the course objectives illustrates the need for cooperation among engineering andother disciplines, such as economics and politics, in the design process for a sustainable

The three classes filled easily and there werenumerous volunteers after the announcement of a student project to build a racecar on campus.Within two years, the motorsports program had grown to the point that the classes were beingoffered as part of a Motorsports Technology Certificate. The racecar which was built as astudent project, shown in Figure 1, was actively and successfully competing in Sports Car Clubof America (SCCA) competition.

The current schedulingprocess faces numerous challenges, including inadequate enrollment capacity, a lack ofdocumentation, and inefficiencies that frustrate students and faculty members alike. By applyingthe DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) methodology, this project identifiescritical areas for improvement and proposes a new streamlined scheduling process. Keyoutcomes include reducing classroom overcapacity and ensuring equitable access to courses.This case study demonstrates how Lean Six Sigma tools can address systemic issues in academicoperations, benefiting

The first five courses are core designcourses taken by students from all intended disciplines; the last three are taken in the discipline - a juniorcourse followed by a 2-semester capstone senior year project. In most cases the core design courses arelinked to concurrent engineering science courses, thus providing context for the latter. The Design Spineis a key vehicle to develop a number of threads that build both technical and so-called “soft”competencies. The latter include communications, creative thinking, teaming, economics of engineering,problem solving, project management etc. It should be noted that the first four

It would be a great tool for students to be able to create a concept model for any robot they planned to create in a classroom setting or otherwise. The examples using the toolbox include both representations of typical industrial robot configurations (e.g., PUMA 560) and robots with structures and dimensions which can be edited by both the student and instructor. These examples provide the mathematical representations and solutions of the designed robot.
