that in our curriculum “general” was to reflect a stronginterdisciplinary base, with some specialization through directed option course work.Evolutionary Stage II (1975-1995): In 1975, the University combined the Architecture andEngineering Departments from the College of Liberal Arts to form the School of Engineering.The term “School” was adopted to indicate that we were not large enough to deserve collegestatus, and that professional programs were involved. During this time, a second revision of thecurriculum was undertaken to make the program more interdisciplinary. The engineering corehas courses belonging to traditional disciplines such as Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, andNuclear and thus making it truly interdisciplinary. Six areas were

an Avionics System PerspectiveAs a student in a course on Augmentative Communication1 I had the opportunity to observestudents with severe communications disabilities. Upon reflecting on the various ways that thestudents overcame blindness, and inability or difficulty in vocalizing, I saw their challenges assimilar to problems encountered in voice communications and controlling an aircraft 2, 3. Thestudents were controlling an electronic device that produced vocalization of phrases they choseby means of a variety of switches. One student used a chin switch connected to a computer thatscanned words/phrases vocally. The student hit a switch to select the word/phrase as itsequentially scanned the list of available words/phrases. Another student

Themodules are available in either Mathematica or Maple and reflect, in part, the interdisciplinaryand integrated nature of our curriculum. We use other lab modules, which are not included withthe book, that encompass other mathematical topics. These additional modules focus ondifference and differential equations, linear algebra, and probability and statistics.Having been part of our curriculum for each of the past six years, these integrated courses arefairly well developed; however, refinements are made each year.

The class also agreedthat labs had been a very beneficial part of the course, stating that labs were not only fun, buthelped reinforce material from the lectures.”SummaryThe approaches presented here reflect an attempt to combine biological science with engineeringapplication in a series of modules. These methods will continue to be revised as newdevelopments on the biological and the engineering side come to fruition and as new equipmentbecomes available, permitting inclusion of new experimental techniques in laboratory exercises.AcknowledgementThe author would like to thank Ms. Emily Riley-Saxton for assistance in

focusedheavily on quantitative analysis of manufacturing processes. For example, expressions forforging and extrusion forces were derived. Machining forces and chip formation geometry werepresented in detail. The weekly lab reflected the overall philosophy of the course: quantities(such as forces) were measured during various manufacturing processes (extrusion, powdermetallurgy, turning, etc.) and compared to theoretical predictions. During the lab sessions, onlya few students actually operated manufacturing equipment; most students watched and recordeddata. The class provided a good basis for the senior elective courses on metal forming, casting,machining, and plastics. The course did not, however, create a passion for manufacturing in

more preferable than a lecture modality for moststudents. The other mode comparable in preference is learning by oneself. For both yearslearning by oneself is strong for the Internet and web page material. The dominant reason wasthat the students had already learned some of this material in high school and felt that they couldwork more efficiently by themselves. For the mathematically complex and code rich topic suchas MATLAB, the students preferred to learn in the laboratory because they could have theirquestions answered immediately. For 3D modeling and Excel, the preferred setting changed fromlaboratory in year 1999 to learning by oneself in year 2000.

This mayreflect a natural human resistance to change. However, the data and comments also suggest thatpractitioners do not believe that the attributes, in general, reflect all the skills and knowledgerequired for most engineering positions. Nevertheless, the information indicates that thegraduating seniors believe their coursework has given them a strong background in the 11educational attributes required by ABET.AcknowledgmentThe author wishes to recognize Ms. Linda Dousay for her

In theface of this high level of expectation is the reality of starting or advancing programs withsignificantly limited resources. Thus, the pressure to advance research funding may preclude theexpenditure of faculty time needed to assure that new BME courses are optimally designed anddelivered. It is important to realize that students’ reflections on their academic experience isshared with their peers and occasionally with program administrators.

Relatively large standard deviations for Test 1 and Test 2 reflect a single event nature of theexperiment, as opposed to the comprehensive measures, such as in PAA, where the standarddeviation was much smaller (Table 1). However, the standard deviation of Test 3 was reduced,particularly on items corresponding to the simpler Test 1, reflecting an average improvement incomprehension.While care was taken to choose topics where comparable instructional media would be used inboth presentations, due to the logistics of the course schedule the topics were not of comparabledifficulty.

Lent et al. (1994) arguesthat self-assessment processes, such as reflecting on one's skills, strengths, areas forimprovement, career goals, aspirations, and professional interests, play a pivotal role in guidingcareer decision-making and goal setting. By examining one's competencies and aspirations,engineers can better align their professional development efforts with their long-term careerobjectives, ensuring that they acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive in their chosenfield.
