sensor must be voltage proportional to the temperature being measured.One such sensor a student might use but is not limited to, is the LM335 temperature sensor. TheLM335 is a precision, easily calibrated, integrated circuit temperature sensor with an operatingrange of –40oC to 100 oC. The low impedance and linear output makes interfacing to a controlcircuit simple. The sensor comes in a TO-92 package and provides an output voltage directlyproportional to the absolute temperature at the rate of +10mV/oK. The output is calibrated withan external potentiometer to provide a 2.98 V output at 25oC [5]. When calibrated at 25oC, theLM335 has an error of less than 1oC over a 100oC range. Extension wires can be soldered to theLM335 leads to remotely

In SDR,signal modulation and information coding are defined in the system's software, nothardware. The authors have incorporated SDR design into their respective curricula bothto support the growing demand for SDR engineering and to teach widely applicablesystems engineering concepts.

These interviews enlightened many parallels between Lean Launch and engineeringdesign, suggesting that an integration of the two would be seamless.

INTRODUCTIONSince 1992, students in our undergraduate mechanical engineering program have been carryingout major design projects. The process of integrating major design project activities was spreadover three phases. The first phase, which took place between 1992 and 1994, consisted of a pilotprogram with forty students. The implementation of an engineering design option between 1995and 1999 constituted the second phase. The last phase embraced the complete reform of theundergraduate curriculum based on the development of competencies and the horizontal/verticalintegration of engineering sciences and engineering design.One of the principal objectives of the major design projects is to allow the students to live amajor design experience within the

While some might argue for a required stand-alone course in failure analysis for allundergraduate civil engineering students, the argument is likely to fall on deaf ears, as programsshrink their credit hour requirements. A more promising approach is to integrate failure casestudies into existing courses throughout the curriculum. Many professors have done this on aninformal basis for years. Are failure case studies merely tangential to civil engineering education, or are they infact a fundamental aspect of engineering education? Are failure case studies simply interesting,or should they be an essential component of a civil engineering curriculum
