Itprovides training not covered in graduate business (MBA) or engineering (MS) programs inareas typically learned on the job. It also allows students to update their technical skills.The HTM program is expected to qualify engineers for increasing management

Two separate NC codes, which were createdbased on different tool paths in this study, can significantly reduce if not completely eliminatethe changeover/setup time. The first NC code was used to cut the brake shoe profile that includeall the round fillet corners and draft angles. Figure 4 illustrates this process that produces a verysmooth surface that is ideal for composite mold making. The second NC code was used for thedepth of cut, which was basically a 2D path, on the flat surface of the part. It could be easilyrevised without changing the features on the original part.

We had approximately 15employers from 6 different companies represented at the breakfast. The main points that theemployers stressed in the surveying process were: ‚ the survey needs to be online and not paper that will get lost on a supervisor’s desk; ‚ the survey needs to take no more than 30 minutes to complete and 5-15 minutes would be optimal; ‚ the survey needs to stress to the employers that expectations for students may vary depending on the level of the student and their particular co-op semester; ‚ the survey would provide a vehicle for

Thus, many students face challenges stemmingfrom issues faced by all novice programmers, which are described in Natural Language Tutoringand the Novice Programmer6 and the references therein; beyond learning the specific elements ofa given programming language, most of the challenges are related to managing complexity anddeveloping problem solving skills and schemas. Specific challenges include the lack of a “libraryof schemata” (i.e. a collection of structures and concepts) from which to draw problem solutioncomponents; difficulty managing the decomposition, composition, and goal/sub-goal processesinherent in programming; and a tendency to begin coding without adequate (or often any) planning.2 Course DesignOur process of
