level lead to the following revelations: It is required to integrate theoretical, computational, and practical issues in the design of experiments curriculum to develop not only knowledge but also abilities in the students. Computer should be a tool to support numerical calculations and plotting, but should not be used to run an automatic ANOVA generator that keeps the students from understanding the design and analysis’ internal structure. An appropriate tool for this purpose is EXCEL. Practical issues should be addressed in the curriculum, and practical projects assigned. Students should be encouraged to face the challenges of a complete experiment design, not only the numerical calculation part of it. Both plant simulations

experience will be useful to colleagues at other institutions.Before I get into the details, however, I feel that I should provide some background aboutengineering undergraduates and the Biomedical Engineering Department at Northwestern, sincewhat is possible for us may be impractical elsewhere.Engineering students at Northwestern come from the top five percent of high school students inthe U.S., as measured by SAT scores and class rankings. They are highly motivated and havehigh expectations, anticipating that they will assume leadership roles in their careers and willingto work hard to accomplish this objective. For this reason, among others, we believe that itwould be inappropriate to straight-jacket our students with an overly rigid curriculum

Since LeTourneau University offers a generalengineering degree with five concentrations, multi-disciplinary design projects naturally arise atall levels of the curriculum.

To complement the coverageof batch operations and to familiarize students with additional concepts relating to batchoperations such as scheduling and intermediate storage, a short module in batch operation wasdeveloped for a senior design course.Integration of Batch Operations into the Existing Senior Design CurriculumThe senior design course at our University comprises two semesters.

justification for defining theTCEP as a high priority strategic enabler and cultural acceptance as paramount to the life of theorganization. The absence of knowledge applications relegates the TCEP to simply a set ofacademic exercises with a much lesser value to the organization.Career development integration addresses the benefit to the employee. Learning is work. Andlearning to apply is even harder work. So there needs to be a reward system in place to providethe incentive to learn. One big incentive is an advanced degree. But this alone will not realize thepotential gains without integrating the learning into career path development. Page

Programs prepare students totake the exam in various ways, including: requiring specific courses in the curriculum, requiringstudents to take a course on every FE topic, providing optional review sessions outside of normalclass, requiring students to pass a university-version of an FE-style exam before graduation, orrequiring an FE-style review course or seminar.Few studies have directly linked student perception of successfully passing the FE exam
