Twenty majors have declared since its introduction at the beginning of the Fall 2010 term. It remains to be seen if this number translates into sustained senior classes of the required size. The backdrop of the current economy must also be considered when making this assessment. Are increases in interest in technology programs permanent or are they temporary with possible softening when hiring picks up in other areas?• Employment Opportunities for Graduates: As already mentioned, CAD/CAM graduates have had reasonably good success finding jobs in their field after graduation.

These exams consisted of "traditional" staticsand dynamics problems with the exception that at the end of each question, the students weregiven a choice of at least ten multiple choice answers. The students were told to work out theproblems as they would in a "normal" exam, and then choose the answer that most closelymatched their solution. For the statics exam, many of the alternative choices corresponded tocommon types of mistakes such as sign errors.Both of the final exams

Concurrently, the Brazilian studentsgenerated controls specifications based on the goals of each of the systems. The results of thiswork were then communicated via a second memo to each of the respective sets of partners.

instructional team for the MET SDP wasbased first and foremost on the quality of reports and presentations that were being submitted. Ingeneral, despite their instruction in Technical Communication classes, students tended to revertto old habits and treated the “write up” as an add-on to the engineering work, and thus somethingto be left for the last minute. Not surprising, report and presentation quality reflected thoseperceptions. These reports were, in the words of the engineering faculty members, “Unreadable,unprofessional, and unacceptable.” The writing consultant’s assessment of the unmentoredreports noted: • Lack of appropriate formatting: students wrote “one big document” without definitive sections, headings, or other visual

The level of on-site faculty monitoring and support of distance coursesdepends primarily on the maturity and independence of the particular students in a cadre as wellas the particular distance course/instructor. The flexibility of the model allows on-site faculty toadjust their teaching load to optimize the balance between the number of engineering coursestaught on site and the level of support provided for specific courses and student groups that aretargeted for additional support.

: Are we accurately specifying our problem in a way that should give the needed information? Have we avoided sign or magnitude errors in our input? Have we chosen mesh to deliver sufficient accuracy? Are we examining the proper output variable?It should go without saying that reviewing the input, and thinking critically about the modelidealizations and the mesh, is always desirable. When a sufficiently similar problem has alreadybeen studied (numerically, experimentally, or analytically), then comparing the results can aid inthe detection of problems. Doing this routinely in early classes ought to pay dividends, not onlyif students take an advanced FEA class, but also for critical assessment of any engineeringmodeling.6. Proposed Path
