However, the dramatic and rapid in-ternational outsourcing of white-collar jobs18 suggests that traditionally slow-to-change profes-sorate and university systems must quicken the rate of change or risk obsolescence.

The idea for the course originally came from amultidisciplinary team research project undertaken by CSM faculty for the United StatesDepartment of Energy.2 This project realized an incremental benefit of $20 million discounted at10% and showed the power of a multidisciplinary approach. The results of this project alsoendorsed calls in the early 1990’s that suggested engineering curricula needed to be improved inthe area of engineering design and teamwork processes.6 When the requirements of ABET weremodified to include capstone design courses, CSM felt strongly that programs of this kind wouldbenefit its graduates and make them more valuable to future employers.

of working on a problem has directed the attention to the 'managementof meaning' and thus the role of the consultant intervening in the act of deliberation."Furthermore, as well as the abilities to deal with these types of situations, students need to learnthe underlying issues so that they can make conscious choices about their style of practicing theprofession. As one example, Eden and Sims (1996) describe three paradigms that a consultantmay adhere to in order to affect the actions of the client: (s)he may attempt to coerce the clientinto using models and solutions devised by the consultant; (s)he may attempt to develop empathywith the client, discover the definition of the problem and help the client to devise a satisfactorycourse of

work with others in a more productive way.3. Developing detailed design specifications using the Quality Function Development(QFD) method Ullman [2003] popularized the QFD method in US engineering schools in his well adopted book The Mechanical Design Process. This method is important for turning vague, not measurable customer needs for a new design into a set of measurable engineering specifications. Although this method was proposed in Japan in the mid-70's, it is still not well known or popular in Asian engineering schools. Experienced design engineers can design well without explicitly using this method, however, it is very helpful to learn this concept in teaching and learning the design process. Figure 2 is a very good

In our situation, this happened at thedepartment level with department chairs establishing boundaries, and at the college level wherethe steering committee and associate dean made decisions and sorted through requests. Further,connecting the faculty developing the metrics with the college technical support with regularmeetings, allowed ideas to be floated, technical possibilities explored, and realities of cost,availability, institute data supply issues, and technical capability to be addressed.All this is easier ‘said than done.’ There is an inherent, traditional culture at work in academia.The 1990’s saw many attempts to implement Total Quality Management (TQM) in highereducation with many failures.

When s = 2 ft, itsacceleration is measured and determined to be a = 320 ft/s2. What is its velocity whens = 2 ft?Because of the nature of the class, the post-test was a typical end-of-chapter textbookproblem.
