We believe entry-level manufacturing engineerswould be better prepared if their undergraduate classes worked together in an integrated manner.The Manufacturing Enterprise Company (MECO)The MECO approach introduces an actual industrial project into the academic sequence everyyear. The project requires design or redesign, development and process planning, casting andCNC machining to create prototypes, and cell layout and group technology for productionplanning as it moves through various classes over the four semesters.

Several major changes were made in the first-year calculus sequence in order topresent various topics at the times they were applied in other courses. We have found that thesechanges not only serve the needs of the partner disciplines, but also provide a more unified andcoherent treatment of some topics from the point of view of mathematics itself. Vectors,parametric curves, line integrals, and especially centers of mass and moments of inertia aretopics that students traditionally find difficult, unmotivated, or confusing because of inconsistentnotation or terminology in different courses; covering them “early” actually improves

To effectively participate in teams within industry, some high-level skills areneeded. In real projects, challenges in combining different concepts will arise. Designing a qual-ity curriculum can accelerate the required skill-learning speed. In traditional teaching models,courses are offered in vertical sequence, and students may not have the chance to contribute tosimulated realistic projects [3].

among students. Simultaneously, the level of trust in public and private institutions, interms of the honesty and integrity of those in leadership, is dwindling. For engineers, whoseoccupation allows them potential for positive or negative societal impacts, it is critical that theirdecisions involve sound ethical judgment. Despite this obvious need, the amount of time given toethics in an engineering curriculum is minimal. With all the knowledge and skills needed inengineering, it seems as if there is neither time nor space to teach ethics.Consequently, the results are predictable. During a recent meeting of engineering students,the students were asked what kinds of ethical questions they encountered at work or intheir studies. The majority

Adowngrade in software performance was not acceptable and an expansion of the course wasobjectionable. This dilemma birthed a compromise: award an additional credit hour (4 vs. 3) byadding a 2nd hour laboratory to this already time intensive course and teach only the 3-D solid-modeling software (neglecting GD&T) to include drafting and assembly creation. The context ofthe original course could then be used to develop software and design skills concurrently. Due to

ACCE accreditation modeled curriculum has been closely integrated with theexisting CIET program within the department. The curriculum will share a common lowerdivision with the CIET program thereby allowing students to wait until the end of the sophomoreyear to declare their preferred major. In addition, the two programs will share approximately67% of their major specific courses. It is believed that this will provide UNC-Charlotte with oneof the only programs within the United States that integrates an ACCE accreditation basedconstruction management program with a TAC of ABET accredited CIET program in thismanner.1 UNC-Charlotte Office of Academic Affairs, (Retrieved 1/17/2006).

Most of these changes are based on a common-senseassumption that an integrated curriculum is beneficial to student learning and will lead to a moreintegrative understanding of the discipline. While this assumption may be true, we seek toempirically explore the effects that integrative changes to the curriculum have on studentlearning. By taking this approach we do not take for granted that integration of the

However, atleast two commercial companies now offer desktop milling machine systems that canmanufacture prototype printed circuit boards quickly, safely, and at low cost, without achemical process.Three years ago, in an effort to find an alternative to either breadboard or traditional PCBtechnology, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Lafayette Collegepurchased a printed circuit board milling machine system and began integrating its useinto the ECE curriculum.
