It should be stressed that thetechnology professor teaches engineering concepts to the students and is explicitly notattempting to “steal” engineering students.3.2 Data collectionData were collected for six years in three forms: transcript information, number of majors, andbrief in-class surveys. The six years involve twelve semesters: six fall semesters and six spring Page 25.1421.4  semesters. Here, a semester is referred to as the academic year with a “F” or “S” for fall orspring; e.g., the last semester examined was the spring of the 2010-2011 year, or “1011S'”.The transcript information was collected for EGR120 students from

Naturally, as the blue prints used by both were the same, equivalentperformance was anticipated from both. But this was not the case when the field history resultscame in after some use of the jets in the field.What was found was that the Japanese built planes had a mean-time-between-failure (MTBF)reliability that was twice as that of the U.S. F-16’s! Such a difference in performance cannot beattributed purely to chance. There has to be an uncommon cause that resulted in this. Onconducting an analysis, it was found that the U.S. manufacturers used the full spectrum oftolerance that was available to them, whereas

pilot course complements the College’s first-year engineering projects course thatemphasizes a hands-on design-build-test cycle, so the students start with design requirements andend with a product. For the pilot course, students were required to scope an Engineering GrandChallenge(s), to reduce it to a manageable project, then to develop design requirements.Several of the module instructors created teams using the Comprehensive Assessment for Team-Member Effectiveness (CATME) TeamMaker tool.7 As stated, teams were guided in a four-week exercise to scope a project that applies the engineering discipline to a specific GrandChallenge, including some basic calculations for feasibility, cost estimates, and preliminarydesign requirements. The team
