learning nature3. The course focused on client-driven, entrepreneurial productdevelopment to meet the needs of community based clients. Accordingly, students discover client needs, defineproduct specifications, search for relevant intellectual property, prepare budgetary and scheduling plans, considersocial impact of the product; in short they prepare a complete proposal for the development of a product to meet theclient’s needs. The heavy grading load for the many written components of the proposals was greatly reduced by theintroduction of Calibrated Peer Review (CPR)4,5 in which the students evaluate each others work and in the processare able to better judge their written work. This has resulted in a significant reduction in the faculty

education takes place in manydifferent academic departments and disciplines, and control systems applications occur in a widevariety of technologies. Viewed from the broadest perspective control systems science andengineering is concerned with automation. It involves a variety of tasks such as modeling,identification, simulation, planning, decision making and optimization, combating uncertaintythrough feedback, and performance evaluation. In addition successful application of controlprinciples involves the integration of various tools from related disciplines, such as signalprocessing, electronics, communications, software, algorithms, real-time computing, sensors andactuators as well as application specific knowledge.Control systems taught under

this independence is that work progressed slowly and many codingideas were explored, found to be inadequate, and discarded. The end result of this project wasthat a well-planned and detailed LabView driver was successfully created, but integration intothe rest of the system was not achieved because of lack of time.

A presentation was given on their results.Use of the Machinery’s HandbookNot usually used as a textbook the Machinery’s Handbook presented some challengesincorporating it in the classroom. The book was written for informational and referencepurposes, rather than teaching. So the language was difficult. The book was written with manycharts and calculations for a wide variety of different conditions. So the quantity of informationwas almost too much. For this course only certain sections were relevant. Therefore time wasalso spent on how to use the book as a reference.There were three sections in the 27th edition that were relevant for this class. These were thesections

interactions will ensue. Furthermore,faculty may also wish to diagnose whether their application of an active learning method isworking as planned. One way to assess active learning is to assess the depth of the studentinteractions. These interactions may be assessed by recording, transcribing, and analyzingstudent dialogues. Our question is: What important design features for active learning sessions can be identified by the use of brief analyses of student dialogue?This case study examines the student dialogues in four sequential active learning sessions. Ineach session, a student team was recorded and their conversation transcribed. The transcriptionwas reviewed and the observations were used to improve the design of the next session

These findings lead to the singular premise uponwhich this project is based: New challenges and opportunities are emerging due to the emergenceof global R&D teams and future engineers must be given opportunities to learn how to performeffectively in this market. Realizing the importance of training U.S. students to work successfully in global R&Dresearch environments, we obtained a planning grant from the National Science Foundation NSFOISE-0439706 during 2004.

Before implementation, students cansystematically evaluate these strategies and select the most appropriate one. This front-endthinking reduces modeling time and results in a robust model.2.1. Identify Modeling SequenceFor an efficient part modeling, a designer must plan the model tree or the sequence of features.Modeling a bird house (see fig. 1) illustrates the power of an effective modeling sequence. Themodeling can be effectively executed by using the steps shown in fig. 2.
