Addressing issues as they pertain to individual students,may require faculty to acquire additional training and/or attend workshops to gain more insightand knowledge about a subject matter that have not been apart of the education and professionaltraining of engineering and technology faculty.Traditionally, engineering technology has not placed a major focus on academic advising.Because the field is beginning to see a major need to redefine the advisement process, moreengineering and engineering technology programs are beginning to revamp their existingstrategies of advisement and/or establishing other creative means of advising students.2III.

costlyand time-consuming difficulties of traditional product development methods. This trend ofbreaking away from traditional approaches was initiated over a decade ago with the introductionof several concepts or logistics such as Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS), Computer-AidedDesign and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM), Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), QualityFunction Deployment (QFD), and Just in Time (JIT). These concepts and others were rapidlythrust onto engineering firms by consultants, to assist them in designing and manufacturing high-quality products at lower costs and in time to meet market demands.Many researchers have been promoting the idea that some of these concepts could beincorporated and utilized within a CE environment.

This is clearly recognized in theEngineering 2000 Criteria under Basic Level Accreditation, Criteria 3, Program Outcomes andAssessment1. In early 1998 the Iowa State University Mechanical Engineering Departmentfaculty reviewed the engineering design related curriculum and decided to add a sophomoredesign course to strengthen the design portions of the curriculum.

. Integration into the CurriculumTo what extent has the PCB milling machine has been integrated into the ECE curriculumat Lafayette College? As previously mentioned, it was initially envisioned that the PCBmilling machine would be used exclusively for senior projects. A primary goal of thistwo-semester senior design sequence is to provide the students with a significant andnon-trivial research and/or design experience. Students may propose their own project orselect a project from a list provided by the ECE faculty. In general, these projects are indepth, multi-faceted, realistic examples of engineering research and design. A later Page 5.377.2section of this

When students are alerted that an energybalance is needed, the balance written does not acknowledge a dynamic process or a spatiallydistributed process. And when a balance is finally hammered out, the solution of the model equationis full of errors. Such incompetent performance shows up at all levels and is pandemic, as reported by theextensive research of Woods and coworkers [3]. They and we in our observations see that the studentslack a useful framework and a set of modeling and problem solving skills. That has implications forus as instructors and is our motivation for developing the ModelLA software. The software providesa modeling framework that has the potential to banish

Ifaccurate, these projections can be of great benefit to us as educators, simply due to the impact ofthis technology on today’s industrial products, and, therefore, society as a whole.
