Shortages of workers trained in these fields couldlogically impede the growth of technology, lower competitiveness with otherindustrialized nations, and thereby exacerbate the decline of the U.

STUDENT LEARNING THROUGH CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS Tom C. Roberts, P.E., Shagun Sharma Kansas State UniversityIntroductionFrom Fall 1995 to Spring 2013, more than 2,650 students completed a one hour Personal & ProfessionalDevelopment course in the College of Engineering at Kansas State University. The course originatedfrom a late 1980’s series of Saturday morning professional development workshops designed for key stu-dent leaders. The workshops were combined into an elective one hour course (DEN 275) named“STARS” in the early 1990’s. Enrollments were low (10 to 15 students per semester) and decreasedwhen the university changed from semester to hourly

Extensive pre and post surveys were administered to the students toevaluate the course‟s effectiveness in using building performance simulation to teachhigh performance and integrated design. Insight was gained on how to introducecomprehensive simulation tools into the design studio, how to integrate mechanicalengineering students more effectively into architectural courses, and how architects andengineers can work together around an energy model.2. IntroductionIn contemporary practice, two factors have a substantial impact on the way that wedesign buildings. The first, integrated design, is an old concept that has seen newpopularity in light of the need for deep energy savings in new and existing buildings. The second

Because English units system is used in training the vast majority ofour engineers, technologists, and technicians, they are probably ill equipped for the global stagewhere the SI units system is the measurement language of trade and science. For instance, whencompanies from different countries work on the same technical project(s), the use of a commonunit of measure is necessary. Since the SI units system is international, this is often the preferredchoice. According to Euler [5], all new USA standards (ASTM, ANSI, SAE, IEEE, ASME, etc.)are now written in metric.
