. While this course did nothave a component that readily lent itself to an intervention, it is considered to be the best optionfor an intervention in the sophomore year because the other sophomore level CE courses haveless flexibility in their content and have less flexibility in learning objectives. The interventiontypically occurs during a single three hour laboratory session in the summer when there is onlyone section or in two one hour lecture sessions in the Fall semester when there are severalsections to the course. The intervention steps appear in Table 1. TABLE 1 CE 2331 Intervention Process INTERVENTION 1 Introduction (Intervention Objective) 2

Studentsin various ET disciplines such as Mechanical, Electrical, etc. can gain hands-on (simulated)experience by using these systems.● Supplement department laboratories. For instance, within the domain of AerospaceEngineering, a pdVR can be used for visualizing orbital dynamics. Once implemented and inplace/running, these can be used any number of times without much associated costs. This can be Page 24.381.11extremely cost-efficient and time-saving

, forexample, applying FEA to a common truss problem can help the student visualize the bending oftruss members and deformation in a way previously not possible. Use of FEA for studyingengineering concepts is similar to the inclusion of laboratory experiments in lecture-courses, toprovide reinforcement of core lecture material more effectively than a textbook16. Also, FEA canbe used to bridge the gap between traditional learning through textbooks, which are typicallycomprised of standard geometry, and applying those concepts to real world and design problemswith complex geometry, where knowledge gained from textbooks alone is not sufficient. Thoughpowerful with advanced graphics and animation capabilities, these commercial tools do not lendthemselves

, University of Michigan John Younger, MD, is a Professor and Associate Chair for Research in the Department of Emergency Medicine. In addition to being a practicing physician, he leads a research laboratory focused on issues re- lated to bacterial fouling of materials. In the context of human health, the work concentrates on infections of implanted medical devices. In other contexts, his work focuses on ways to prevent, or even facili- tate, bacterial interactions with engineered surfaces. Examples of the former include preventing fouling of industrial surfaces. An example of the latter is the development of new technologies to enhance the detection of low-level bacterial contamination in clinical samples and food.Prof
