Due to growth in enrollment, the class has to accommodate approximately 100students. To effectively teach CAD in computer classrooms, class sizes need to be limited. Inorder to provide adequate and efficient instruction to this large number of students, the spring of2008 course instructor utilized blended learning, an approach that uses a mix of traditionalclassroom teaching and online training. In this case, the blended

connection between manufacturingtechnology education, student career goals, and private sector demand. The goal of thePSCME has been to develop an enhanced manufacturing curriculum for manufacturingtechnology programs in high schools and in two-year institutions. PSCME works withhigh schools and community/technical colleges in Washington State to gather and reviewexisting manufacturing curricula, and to communicate with local industry leaders toclarify regionally developed industry skill standards and curriculum needs. This paperwill discuss this deliberate cooperation and the resulting development of a new,modularized curriculum model. Based on the curriculum research, 19 modules weredeveloped: Interpersonal Effectiveness, Introduction to

If thestudents will be required to be able to take engineering drawings and interpret them to enable thedesign of green buildings within an engineering economics framework, what should the contentof supporting courses be to allow them to take on this task? The nature of the final projectdesigns change as a function of cognizant faculty interest, external consultant expertise, andproject availability. The challenge is to find an appropriate curriculum that would allow thestudents to move between projects, which at the same time adhere to suggested design courserequirements including exposure to

Here, we define a module as a learningunit comprised of a set of outcomes and we define a prerequisite outcome as an outcome which astudent is required to have achieved before he or she can learn another related outcome

The aircraft design sequence is comprised of two courses, one in the fall and one inthe spring. The purpose of the two senior design courses, as defined in the syllabus, is to givestudents experience with a conceptual design methodology that integrates methods for vehiclesizing, configuration selection and layout determination, propulsion system design, vehicleperformance analysis, and cost
applying for admission, stu-dents in the program are academically capable and highly motivated. Many of them came to theUniversity of Illinois on major scholarships and began to distinguish themselves even in theirfreshman year. Most students in the program arrived with advanced placement credit (typically20 credits) which enabled them to accommodate the 22 credits which the Technology and Man-agement Program adds. Even so, it is not unusual for a student in the program to attend onesummer session and/or stay an extra semester to complete their undergraduate program.Designation of the curriculum as a minor is currently pending approval by the university. Thestudents perceive this to be an important step, both for the credential it provides to them

proposing an interdisciplinary graduate programs in technology is tocapitalize on CoT resources to provide graduate degrees that integrate the different disciplineswithin the college. A secondary motivation is to elevate the research emphasis within the CoT.Establishing a CoT-wide graduate degree will provide a method of moving towards a doctoraldegree in Technology, consistent with the objectives of a Research 1 university. A fundamentalgraduate degree program proposal would include core courses Technology/leadership/Management, specialized tracks for various CoT disciplines (Concentrations), Practicum//internship, and thesis/project.Literature ReviewThere have been increasing efforts to establish new innovative and interdisciplinary

Use of state-of-art computer-aided design (CAD) tools in the industry is ingreater demand due to its impact on reducing product lead times. Consequently, CAD tools havenow become an integral part of undergraduate mechanical engineering curriculum. Students cannow learn to model, design, analyze and fabricate objects with multitude of tools within a semestercourse. With
