Some of the reasons for this decline is a. decline in the IT industry b. increase in outsourcing c. misconception of the incoming students that CS and SE are fields focused primarily on programming and Web design d. Incoming students focus on the job market today, which may be entirely different four years later. Student employees form a transitional workforce. Students move in and out of projects due to various reasons: graduation, transfer in and out of university/program, Page 11.318.4 or transfer in and out of research projects.

: a) identifying part features or characteristics that affect partinsertion and fastening, b) identifying part features or characteristics that affect part handling andc) using solid modeling software to verify that mating parts will assemble. The data also suggest that industry desires more emphasis on the following “class-room”learning experiences: a) complete a design project using DFMA guidelines/checklists andb) make a part using rapid prototyping; and “non class-room” learning experiences: a) visit localindustry, b) do a summer internship in industry, c) complete a term in industry (co-op ed.). Lastly, the data show that most engineers do not learn their DFMA methods and conceptsin their undergraduate program. Rather
