modeling with FEA and rapid prototypinghas been demonstrated to be effective by several authors [2-7]. Since these activities typicallyspan several courses in an engineering curriculum, a promising approach for integrating theseactivities is through the use of teams of students from different courses. Several studies [8,9]have shown that team-based projects enhance learning of engineering concepts and help studentsdevelop essential teaming skills.This paper summarizes an initial attempt to integrate CAD, FEA and prototyping activities into Page 7.714.1three courses through the use of interdisciplinary teams. Two separate projects were performed

After they successfully completed the activities, their feedback was very positive.Most of the students found AR interesting, easy and enjoyable (see Figure 9). The only negativecomment was that the students were confused by the mirrored images on the screen, but afterpractice they were getting used to that feeling.

The engineering curriculums have an untappedpotential to help in achieving these goals.There are limited studies available in the literature on the effectiveness of service learningpedagogy particularly in engineering courses and programs [3]. Warren (2012) [8] analyzed 11research studies on the effectiveness of service learning in improving learning in a variety of fields,including communication, English, sociology, psychology, political science, and pharmacy. Thesestudies utilized a wide variety of tools to measure student learning. The results indicated thatregardless of measurement tools, service learning improved student learning.

well as components.The need for and obstacles to integration are perhaps more obvious to those of us in thehumanities and social sciences, but they exist throughout the engineering curriculum. Drawingon the terminology we used in describing the outlook of the Middle Ages, we might concludethat engineering has not yet discovered its “art-hood,” or sense of intellectual and culturalidentity, and that one of the greatest promises of ABET 2000 is the incentive it provides forengaging the whole range of human knowledge and experience in that effort.Bibliography1.

This experience is notintended to be production-level research, but instead an introduction to research methodologyand perspective for undergraduate students. Various teaching methodologies have beenincorporated to the introductory geotechnical engineering laboratory at California PolytechnicState University, a primarily undergraduate institution. The
problems are not unique to the University of Maine, and the communication-intensivemodel by itself is certainly not a radical innovation in 2004. And yet, the overall plan may proveinteresting to others involved in such endeavors because of its structure and approach. Severalguiding principles marked the development of this plan: ‚ Department-based core competencies derived from faculty and alumni/employer surveys; ‚ Technical communications instruction embedded, reinforced, extended and assessed at each level of the curriculum; ‚ Deep levels of integration with engineering content; ‚ Multiple layers of support for engineering students; ‚ Extensive planning and design that recognizes constraints and content pressures, while
exactly from those competitors,why they look for in the search line with the help of those words, what problems and tasks theyface at this moment, what they feel and what they think. Understanding is the stage of gather-ing primary information, which after that still needs to be properly processed, classified andused to gain understanding. Understanding, or empathy, as an integral component of this stage,allows putting yourself at the place of the user, the potential client. At this stage the better theconsumer will be studied, the more likely that we will be able to develop and offer him exactlythe product that will best meet his needs and expectations. The next thing that potential developers need to understand is an understanding of
the due date. This negates theintention of cross team communication and the group approach to solving problems.Regrettably, this model of team assignments where students work independently without theintended cross team communication is prevalent in STEM disciplines on many campusesnationwide. In an effort to overcome these collaborative learning shortcomings and engage thenew STEM student, the authors propose the development of the Multicourse UndergraduateLearning Community (MULC).The Multicourse Undergraduate Learning Community (MULC) process demands studentengagement in a vertically integrated project scheme where student teams in multiple courses inthe curriculum are interacting and utilizing others’ work products during the term.

Future versions ofthis course could be improved by introducing LCA software earlier in the curriculum andintegrating this course as a pre-requisite or co-requisite to a senior capstone.

while still delivering required skills.Naturally, changing this well-established course presented obstacles and trials, from studentregistration to curriculum development. This course is open to any student who is a STEMmajor, has an interest in any STEM field, or has a specific interest in sustainability. However,this meant that even our advisors needed some clarification as to the definitions of STEM andsustainability in order to register students that would benefit from this course. The course wastaught using a team-based approach, with one faculty member from English and one fromEngineering, combining both areas of expertise in the classroom. Additionally, there was a shiftfrom using MLA style to APA style citations. Furthermore, students

Session 3548 Integrating Team Development into a Manufacturing Technology Course Karen J. Horton University of MaineAbstractAs manufacturing companies have made known their need for engineers who can communicatewell, work on diverse teams, and engage in concurrent engineering, the Mechanical EngineeringTechnology Department at the University of Maine has responded to those needs by revising andupdating its manufacturing courses. “Manufacturing Technology” (MET 270) is designed forsecond year students, Fall semester. MET 270 was previously taught as a lecture coursedescribing a wide

To the extent thatfaculty develop industry-inspired or industry-sponsored projects as an integral part of the industrialengineering curriculum, the program's graduates are better qualified to meet the needs of futureemployers. The transformation of the undergraduate engineering curriculum may include anincreased emphasis on cost, communications and continuous learning. Modifying faculty promotionguidelines to honor collaboration in teaching and research, as well as collaborating with industrywould facilitate the transformation. Ideally, industry would be a full partner in the educationalprocess 6

Following this, apiping and instrumentation diagram was provided for a system to complete this process (includingseparation). Then, each class in the ChE curriculum was described and it was discussed how thatclass would help in the analysis of the process. Such a procedure was done in an attempt to shownot only the integration of each class, but why they were chosen for the curriculum.In the second part of the class, we had any student having difficulty with their current math class

These new objectivesresulted in the inclusion of the discourse on sustainability and social learning and an in-depthdiscussion of integrative skills (a.k.a. “soft” skills).The New First-Year CourseLater we developed a first-year course with a theme of sustainability, APSC 176: EngineeringCommunication. Its objectives are to provide students with research, critical thinking andadvanced communication skills necessary for success in the study and practice of globalengineering.We believe that a first-year communication course is uniquely positioned for integratingeducation on sustainability (ESD) with graduate attributes.

baccalaureate-level industrial engineering curriculum sharedby most American universities since the dissemination of the Roy Report and initialimplementations based on its findings.This paper describes the work of a project team from the Department of Industrial Engineering atClemson University, sponsored by NSF. The team has been working since September 2002 todevelop a new scalable and deployable industrial engineering baccalaureate-degree model. Thismodel is designed to permit scaling up from an information technology kernel of coursework to afully integrated industrial engineering undergraduate curriculum. Three aspects of the newcurriculum plan are described in this paper.OverviewDuring the mid 1960s, a study group sponsored by NSF and ASEE
