(electronically and in-person) are critical for full engagement.Heybruck and Thurman3 highlight these and other benefits that are derived from industrialparticipation in undergraduate education. They suggest industrial involvement not only in thecorporate sponsorship of undergraduate programs, but also by way of site visits, co-op programs,establishing of mentoring relationships, sponsored research, et cetera.For the tube notching project that is the subject of this paper, the project was selected based onthe needs described above. Due to the high cost of hardware and software associated with thisproject, it was clear from the start that we could only succeed with the support of an industrialpartner. At that point, we contacted Aerotech, Inc., a company

However, the current level ofeffectiveness of failure engineering curricula in universities is not sufficient to address theNavy’s need to improve safety and reliability and reduce costs due to premature fatigue andfracture failure. Many of the Navy assets experience cyclic mechanical loads during theirlifetimes which result in fatigue
