At thesame time, computers and their software have become easier and easier to use. Computerizedsimulation of business processes enhances productivity by allowing project teams to test theirsolutions prior to actual implementation. Recently, at the University of Dayton, many industrysponsors of engineering technology senior projects are requesting that student teams developsimulation models of their facility layout designs. At

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.

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

In the 2003-2004 offering, other students were used as stakeholders for the firsttime. Specifically, biomedical engineering (BE) students in the third year of a four year research,development, and design project acted as domain experts with SE students acting as requirementsexperts.Having SE juniors work with other juniors is desirable since it increases their comfort level.However, the drawback is that even though the BE project course sequence has an

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.
