Materials camp consisted of eight displays: bio-, and cryogenic- materials, manufacturing engineering, non- destructive testing, corrosion, plastics, mechanical testing and shape memory alloys. Students gained valuable experience through their participation in the hands-on exhibits at these displays.

Increasingly the role of mechanical engineers in multidisciplinary teams inthe workplace is highly critical in the success of systems’ design and performance. Thetraditionally mechanical disciplines such as manufacturing, packaging, board layout, wirebonding, heat transfer, etc. have a profound impact on an electrical design. It is criticalthat non-EE team members know basic electronics concepts. To boost students’ interest,this message is conveyed to students in this required analog / digital course.

This material is not complete or exhaustive. Its purpose is to give a sketchyoverview of why the study of internal combustion engines is anything but a dead, unneededundertaking. In addition, the material helps to address ABET Outcomes (h) and (j)1 by placingthe study of internal combustion engines within a societal context and by addressing the majorissues associated with this technology.

This paper presents amethod aimed at fostering deeper learning in calculus among engineering students withoutrequiring changes in the current calculus curriculum. In addition, the alterations presented areengineered to be easily implemented at any institution and can be used by any science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) department that positions calculus as aprerequisite to specific disciplinary content.6.
