Yet, existing engineering educationpractices often fall short in preparing students to tackle complex engineering problems that maybe ambiguous, open-ended and ill-structured.

A rigid body dynamics course covering single-body kinetics isusually completed in early semesters, and often the material is not revisited before graduation.Students typically graduate without a sense of how to simulate the forward dynamics of evensimple multi-body systems such as slider-crank or four-bar mechanisms.

When faced with tryingto create space in their undergraduate curriculum for new topics, engineering educators often useABET accreditation requirements as a roadblock. But careful reading and consideration of theABET criteria indicate that the criteria are not actually a roadblock to such changes for mostschools.This paper describes the approach taken by the Mechanical Engineering program in one publicresearch university to open credits

Partand parcel of the design process is an analysis of overall product cost, which normally involveswaste disposal and/or reclamation. This perhaps more traditional approach to the environmentalimpact of an engineering design is being supplanted by an approach that is less dependent oncosts -- green engineering. Green engineering, in short, involves analyzing the environmentalimpact of the designed product throughout the product/process life. Not only are the rawmaterials analyzed, but also the impact of the product’s use, any by-products or waste streamsgenerated, and the disposal/reclamation cost. A separate branch of ‘green
