The objective was to create an integrated practice-based engineering curriculum that balances analytical and theoretical knowledge with physicalfacilities for product realization in an industrial-like setting. The LF model offers students intraditional engineering disciplines an alternative path to a degree that prepares them for careersin manufacturing, design and product realization.Although the LF model has been successfully implemented in several other universities, fullimplementation can be expensive. In 2002, Wayne State University was awarded an NSF grantto develop an adaptation of the LF model that would be less costly to implement. Our NSFproject involved the adaptation the

R&R studies and gage control allow students to integrate knowledgewith practical situations, strengthening needed skills in the process10.The basic Gage R&R study involves a few operators measuring a small number of parts severaltimes each.5 The study is designed to show how repeatable the measurements are when the gageis used by a number of operators. This type of analysis provides an excellent opportunity forstudents to practice and reinforce their knowledge. With common gaging devices such ascalipers or a micrometer and a few parts to measure, students can conduct a realistic Gage R&Rstudy as a part of the course.Understanding the Process and ProductBefore any quality control study begins a clear understanding should exist of

In the Department of Mechanical Engineering atVirginia Tech, the capstone experience is a two semester sequence of courses in which studentsdesign and implement a product or engineered system. The first course in the sequence,ME4015, introduces the product development process and stresses concept development andpreliminary design. The subsequent course, ME4016, focuses on detail design, implementation,and testing. The courses are taught in multiple sections with each section assigned a specificteam project. Enrollment in each section ranges from 5 to 30 students depending on the scope ofthe

Most books appear partial to decision analysis (Hazelrigg11) andprobabilistic tools, e.g., probability trees, (Sage and Armstrong22). At least one chapter in eachbook appears to be devoted to this topic. The third step revolves around integrating all systemcomponents and launching the system. The fourth step is testing the performance of the system.The fourth step relies on techniques from operations research, e.g., queuing theory for discrete-event stochastic systems and scoring methods and objective function formulation etc. The finalstep essential captures the principle of continuous

This allows each team to correlate test results between the two platforms andallows inter-team correlation of results as well. Linearity testing consists of acquiring the output voltageof the DAC for all possible input codes and then calculating the six major static characteristics of theDAC including gain, gain error, offset, offset error, integral non-linearity (INL), and differential non-linearity (DNL).

Students need “opportunities to link the theoretical constructsdeveloped in the classroom with the practical application in the workforce” [4].Perhaps the greatest advantage for using cases in an engineering classroom is thatstudents must focus on the applications in the workforce by solving real world problems.There are numerous advantages for integrating cases into an engineering curriculum.These can be generalized in four main categories: 1) cases provide students with a link tothe real world; 2) cases develop students’ critical thinking and problem solving
