Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET). The survey results are given in Table 3. As can be seenfrom the survey results, most of the engineering students who took the survey scaled between 6and 10, which confirms that newly developed biomaterials course is well understood andestablished. 1) Please rate your level of understanding of the fundamental concepts in biomaterials, 2) Please rate your ability to apply the fundamental principles of biomaterials, 3) Please rate your ability to apply modern analytical techniques to biomaterials, 4) Please rate your ability to apply computational techniques to biomaterials, 5) How do you rate your ability to effectively communicate technical information in writing? 6) How do you

. Some essay responses emphasize thisas well. In survey question 8, the group is asked to assess the needs of the future and how thechanges in the next five years will affect their organizations. Some employer responses arepresented here:  Students will need to be equally skilled in technical knowledge, business knowledge, and interpersonal communications.  Engineering will shift toward a people-relationship business as technical competence will become an expected commodity.  Students will need strong communication skills, writing skills, leadership skills, and business knowledge.H1b. Engineering Employers will be surveyed on their satisfaction with undergraduate students at a larger Midwestern

Note that segments (1) and (2) have different values of moment of inertia. The Young’s modulus for segment (1) is different from that of segment (2) in writing the Material Law Formulas for each segment. For this problem, however, data input would have E1 = E2.

find that achieving a high grade in the Introduction to Engineeringcourse sequence is a result of beginning assignments in a timely fashion, diligently followingdirections, and taking advantage of resources available for assistance.Engineering Problem SolvingA variety of engineering topics are used to train the students on applying a disciplined approachto problems in a traditional engineering context. The topics used to facilitate the engineeringproblem solving approach include Engineering Problem Solving Fundamentals, Statics,Statistics, Engineering Economy, and Mass Balances.  Engineering Problem Solving FundamentalsThe College of Engineering at the UofA has open enrollment, and the introductory math coursefor students in the Introduction

course.During the first five weeks, there is a concurrent and intensive introduction to LabVIEW alongwith fundamental instruction of instrumentation electronics. LabVIEW Instructional modules andexamples are available at various web-sites for demonstrating and simulating electronic circuitsand responses. Most instrumentation textbooks cover analog and digital principles forinstrumentation but in different orders and formats (e.g. Johnson, 2006, Northrop, 1997).Reinforcement of principles and introduction to practical instrumentation and control examplescan only be offered through hands-on laboratory exercises, demonstrations, and preparation of afinal team project. Laboratory exercises for this course include experiments with temperaturesensing, fluid

-Day,” where freshmen, senior, graduatestudents, faculty, and alumni industry representatives participate in an open house at the end ofthe semester. Parents, high school students, and the community provide a diverse audience forthe students and alumni. Networking is encouraged, and freshmen are required to visit at leastthree alumni, senior or graduate student displays. This paper focuses on the role of the EdibleCar design competition in achieving the course objectives by uses team-based learning to engagethe students in the engineering design process, and providing hands-on experience with problem-solving, biological materials, teamwork, communication, and professional ethics in anengineering setting.Introduction to the CourseIntroduction
