In addition to familiarity with a number of manufacturing processes and CAD/CAMtechniques, various process simulation tools are increasingly becoming an essential tool in thedesign and manufacturing of complex systems. In this paper, the integration of Moldflow andSolidWorks plastics tools in traditional manufacturing processes course is presented. SolidWorksplastics Standard brings easy-to-use injection molding simulation directly to the designers ofplastic parts and injection molds, as well as advanced CAE analysis.

” towards most engineering degrees. Before the switch, graphicscourses were required for students in mechanical, civil, environmental, biomedical, mining, andmaterials engineering. Students in electrical, chemical, geological, and computer engineering hadno graphics requirement prior to 2000. In developing the two core first-year engineering courses,compromises on all sides were required. The graphics content for some programs was necessarilyreduced while the content for others increased significantly. Another feature of the new programwas that the graphics content was integrated throughout the first-year courses instead of existingas a stand-alone topic in the curriculum. This paper will discuss the graphics content in the first-year engineering

The resulting increased demand to improve STEM education around the world has led tonew and varied models of integrated STEM instruction (iSTEM) [3].

animations maybe a fairly easy task for an experienced MATLAB user but it is not so simple to do forstudents learning dynamics/kinematics for the first time. Therefore the homeworkassignments do not require students to write programs for animations. Typically studentswho take advanced level courses in engineering seem to appreciate the capabilities ofMATLAB and continue to use it in those courses for modeling, computation, andvisualization.4. ConclusionsMATLAB has been used as a problem-solving tool in mechanics and structural analysisclasses. It has also been used to a limited extend for animations involving dynamics ofparticles and machinery systems.

By adapting the ScavengerHunt items pertaining to AE industry, curriculum, and academic department, students completing theassignment may potentially benefit in ways similar to our AE students. Similarly, Scavenger Hunts maybe adapted for general Intro to Engineering courses in which students explore engineering sub-disciplines.In such courses, sets relating to industry and curriculum exploration can be adapted by encouragingstudents to explore an engineering discipline of interest or multiple interests, perhaps their top two-threechoices.Further research is needed to understand how these assignments influence, if at all, development ofpurpose.

Alternatively, a department may require a standalone course, but it maybe offered in the philosophy/religion department or engineering school [15].
