As design instruction has become more prevalent, engineering programshave incorporated design courses and embedded design projects at several stages of theundergraduate curriculum4, including instructional laboratories. However, most of these coursesfocus on the early stages of the design process (i.e. problem identification, design criteria,research

!Teaching large classes is not new, but it was to me. As a graduate student, also at a large publicinstitution, I had the pleasure of teaching engineering economy to roughly 70 industrial andsystems engineering majors numerous times. This number seemed to pale in comparison to myassigned 172 for the Fall of 2007 semester.As a researcher, I sought the literature to help in this endeavor. There are a number of resourcesavailable at various institutions to help deal with large classes. For example, a simple search onthe Web located resources at a number of universities, often through a Center for Teaching. Oneexample of this is Ives2, which includes practical steps on dealing with large classes, includingeducator testimonials. The educational research

Today’s engineering students musttake their ideas from theory to the marketplace, and universities must collaborate withindustry to provide the real-world exposure that will educate these future entrepreneurs tothink creatively and innovatively. Industry skills, including business planning andanalysis, marketing, presentation and communication skills are necessary to bringengineers’ innovations to the consumer. Page 12.1518.3

thelarge number of industrial research, product development and testing applications thatengineering students may encounter as they start their careers, requires that the studentshave a good working knowledge of such techniques. For the most part these applicationswill involve some form of automated (computerized) data collection and data reduction.Hence, it is a necessity that students gain laboratory experience with a wide variety ofcomputerized data acquisition principles, which include Analog to Digital (A/D)conversion, and statistical sampling procedures.The need to employ statistical sampling is not new, but is even more important in modernmeasurement applications that may involve real-time process assessment and evaluationof numerous time
