opposed to any particular geographic location. In fact, ifcurrent trends continue, U.S.-based multi-national corporations will become less and lessdependent on continental U.S. engineering services, and more reliant on offshoreproviders. Current corporations such as the Boeing Company are already moving to“24/7” engineering cycles for new aircraft, with engineers around the globe working onthe same shared parts and assemblies in their respective countries as the world turns. Aslarge corporations like Boeing, Daimler-Chrysler and Black and Decker implement truepaperless environments, with suppliers and manufacturers alike sharing information in acentralized digital model, corporations with engineers that are not educated in PLMmethods will be

impact on theuser-centric design.SummaryThe paper explains the procedure to create actionfunction diagrams for user centric design ofproducts. Some of the advantages of actionfunction diagrams are focusing closely on product anduser interaction, highlighting those functions of a product in which the user is involved, andallowing for analysis of user-product interaction in the early design stages.This method can be introduced in an engineering design curriculum for user-focused design. The Page 25.355.14aim of this paper is to educate the design community and engineering educators about theimportance of user modeling and the available methods to

So for instance mechanical engineeringstudents do not learn about the practice of mechanical engineering, but learn fragmented subjectssuch as mechanics, dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and design, without anunderstanding of how they relate to each other or to practice.This process of decontextualisation and fragmentation is what Schön25 refers to as the ‘normativeprofessional curriculum’: first, teach students the relevant basic science, second, teach them therelevant applied science, and third, “give them a practicum in which they can learn to applyclassroom knowledge

The Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) provides a potential national model forseamless transfer of college credit within and between 2-year and 4-year institutions, andtechnical graphics features prominently on the list of articulated courses. We discuss theprevailing IAI briefly and how it applies to technology degree programs.

connected.1 There are many books and paperswritten on creating PBLs, their effectiveness, the pros and cons, etc. In fact there is even ajournal dedicated to PBL: The International Journal of Problem-based Learning.Many engineering colleges use PBL in Introduction to Engineering courses, but not necessarilyformally (i.e., do not use all the PBL elements listed above). The typical learning objectives ofan Intro to Engineering course, such as team-work, problem solving, and design, cater well to themethod. Also because PBL is an interactive and engaging educational experience, its use iscrucial in the first year of an engineering curriculum that is otherwise filled with non-engineering-specific courses (i.e., PBL aids in retention).

addition to the inspiring support from all of the program staff, faculty and student volunteersare depended upon for hands-on engineering education. In order to give the students the bestexposure to engineering and its many areas, students investigate the disciplines with facultymembers in that field. They tour research laboratories and complete undergraduate-levelexperiments with the faculty members and their student assistants. As a result, the college and itsfacilities are considered as a perpetual “open house” to the students of the program. Somestudents have even used the college’s rapid prototyping facilities and manufacturing center forcomponents of their project prototypes. However, ESP also has dedicated classroom facilities,lab equipment

Our final research goals are to isolate the gains made in declarative LO knowledge orother values received in a second IPRO course as opposed to a first IPRO course and to evaluatevarious techniques for improving the declarative knowledge [test scores] of our students.Many engineering programs have project based courses with similar learning objectives and theimplications for engineering educators supporting these curriculum are related to measuring theacquisition of knowledge obtained directly from a course versus other courses or, for example,prerequisites. It is also beneficial to evaluate methods to measure the knowledge acquisitionrelated to specific skills
