This format exposed thestudents to a wide variety of laboratory and data analysis techniques, but limited the amount ofexperimental design actually conducted by the students.ABET’s EC 2000 criteria specifies that graduates of baccalaureate engineering programs

manifested itself in economic trial. Throughout the 1970’s andearly 1980’s, U.S. industry, in almost every sector, was being battered by internationalcompetition. Foreign companies capitalized with more innovative design, more agilemanufacturing, greater productivity, higher quality and lower prices. Part of the problem was anengineering education system that graduated students with an inadequate understanding of theengineering process. They lacked an ability to convert engineering knowledge into real gains forsociety. In the ensuing twenty years, what has evolved is a partnership between government,industry and academia to the benefit of each and to the benefit of society.The new era presents many opportunities for the engineer.

Although the L-T-T concept is still in thedeveloping stage, its success has convinced one of the authors, Chiang Shih, to apply the conceptto other classes at different levels. Based on preliminary assessment, it is believed that a morecoherent implementation, both vertically throughout the curriculum and horizontally across alldisciplines, can greatly improve educational experience of engineering students.Introduction Dynamic Systems courses are among the most difficult classes for undergraduate engineeringstudents. One of the major reasons is that it is difficult to conceptually visualize motion indynamic processes. In addition, some physical concepts in dynamic s ystems, such as a

The success of this program lies with the alignment of learningobjectives to work tasks.MotivationDuring the 1990s there was a sustained global debate about the nature of engineering education,the most significant review since the engineering science revolution transformed engineeringeducation in the 1950's and 1960's.
