applications. Different methods of processing, manufacturing and testing composites arealso discussed. Two lab periods are utilized to demonstrate composite materials. During the firstlab, individual students layup a carbon fiber plate and place it under vacuum. Once the plates arecured, typically the next lab session, students cut the plates into various shapes to demonstrate thedifficulties in manufacturing with composites.Failure AnalysisThe lecture provides an overview of some common failures in mechanical devices, focusingmostly on gears and turbines. Root cause analysis is discussed. Several examples of failed ordamaged equipment have been donated to the class, allowing the students to do hands oninspections. There is no lab associated with this

credit based onmilitary training and experience” (University of North Carolina, n.d.).The groundwork for an articulation program already exists in large part. The American Councilon Education (ACE), among other things, independently evaluates military training to determinewhether it warrants academic credit and if so, in what subject, at what level, and how manyhours. Reviews include examination of the training objectives, materials, student evaluationinstruments, and contact hours. “All recommendations are based on ACE reviews conducted bycollege and university faculty members who are actively teaching in the areas they review”(ACE, Military Guide, n.d.). ACE credit recommendations are compiled in the Military Guide,which is available online

Heineman [9] echoes many of these samesuggestions, also suggesting that colleges get veterans engaged in extracurricular activities,develop tracking mechanisms for veterans’ progress, retention and other information, and focuson the sustainability of all veteran-supporting activities.Summerlot, Green and Parker [10] discuss the formation and operations of veteransorganizations, noting that successful organizations are veteran-student created and operated;however, they require a suitable campus climate to be successful.

Greatervariety of information of more heterogeneous content for online students is more likely to be highlyfocused and useful content for their work [24, 25]. In business and industry today, changingorganizational structures are creating greater demand for interdisciplinary engineering educationto prepare students who are not only specialized, but are also able to interact with different typesof engineers such as those who are electrical, computer, and mechanical.

There are also specific military postsavailable to civil engineers via the Navy Seabees, Navy Civil Engineering Corps, and ArmyCorps of Engineers. At one large, public institution among about 5000 undergraduate studentsenrolled in the College of Engineering, about 2% were participating in ROTC [unpublisheddata].

Machines, materials, and processes constantly growin complexity due to their purpose and flexibility as well as customer expectations. However,there is growing emphasis on engineers with “professional skills” as well. The NationalAcademy of Engineering (NAE) in two reports [1],[ 2] stresses the need for engineers to possessleadership abilities. The former emphasized engineering graduates “must understand theprinciples of leadership and be able to practice them in growing proportions as their careersadvance.”Fundamental engineering, very applied and hands-on, is a stated need by industry.

This mode of online learningcan occur completely asynchronously, but studies have shown that it is beneficial to have asynchronous component that allows students to ask questions and interact [3, p. 406]. Institutionscan realize significant cost savings with fully online courses since material can be reused andgrading is often fully automated. Faculty also have time to pursue other research efforts oncethey develop a fully online course [5, p. 13]. Depending on the course structure, fully onlinecourses provide significant flexibility to the students and puts the onus on them to learn thematerial. This increases active learning and students should show greater mastery of keyconcepts than they would in a traditional classroom
