Design forManufacturing is a philosophy and mind set aimed at designing parts and productsthat can be produced more easily and it is applied heavily at this stage.5.5 Detail DesignAt this stage the entire details including material and dimensions of parts are definedcompletely so that the product can be manufactured. Often a CAE software is used tomodel the parts and assembly at this stage. This contains all the details needed for anyanalysis. Engineering calculations would have been carried out earlier at part and sub-assembly levels but now the complete product is available for analysis. Normally allpossible analyses are not carried out.

In the process, the essenceof both the principals (the Code and the regulation) becomes implanted in the emergingbiomedical engineers’ mind.

Provision should be made to minimize issues related to differences between the instructor’s and OLI’s approaches.• OLI is effective in statics concept instruction, but less so in developing problem-solving skills. Students still need to practice such skills, preferably in interactive settings, such as study groups or class recitation sessions. Page 24.1139.7The OLI Engineering Statics course is a

However,while we have created the modules with a MATLAB/SIMULINK framework in mind, PD&Cinstructors could also adapt the modules easily to use other software packages. For example, thefunctionality of Cooper and Dougherty’s Control Station [30-33] is comparable toMATLAB/SIMULINK. Other instructors have used HYSYS for control system modeling [e.g. 7,27] .

Invariably, all civil engineering programs in the United States offer courses in themanufacture of the material and the design and construction of reinforced concrete structures.However, students are rarely introduced to sustainability principles and practices that produce“green” reinforced concrete structures, in that raw materials are used efficiently, byproducts areutilized, carbon footprint is reduced, and the resulting structure is energy efficient and durable.Knowledge of sustainability principles will make future structural engineers mindful of

Shaping engineering education with this idea in mind is attentiveto the role of identity in what people do,30 and can serve to provide intellectual, conceptual, andnarrative resources to assist professionals as they navigate their work world. Engineering,similar to other professions, has a language,18 and that language frames how practitioners thinkof themselves and their work.27 As Korte notes in a 2013 study, “the developing professionalidentities of new engineers are reflected in the narratives they construct regarding

The issue was that these were notalways simply neutral differences of some mild interest but very troubling ones at times.For example, one lesson learned was that engineering education may require quite a bit morerigor and highly deterministic analysis in its work, while marketing or design/architecture mayemphasize more creativity and intuition with a different goal in mind.
