The US Department of Defense has startedrequiring that TRM procedures be defined in proposals and that all major reviews
graphics software.[1] However, the need to adopt and utilize productlifecycle management [2] and the subset, PDM software has been occasionally discussed in theliterature for more than 15 years. In 2004, Frame et al. [3] emphasized the need for industries toadopt PLM/PDM approaches to design and also voiced concerns over the adoption into thecurriculum of undergraduate mechanical engineering programs. There are three main concerns ofyesterday for implementing PDM software: vendors do not recognize the need for PDM softwarein education, there is little if any teaching material for use with PDM, the cost of implementationmay exceed available resources. [1] Today, in our review of resources, there appears to only beone implementation hurdle, the lack

IntroductionIn this study, a graduate course of the Industrial Engineering (IE) program of theMiddle East Technical University (METU) is designed as a partially online course.The course title is Total Quality Management (TQM). It has been thought for twoyears in a classical in-class format before its online design. Since there has been aconsiderably high demand for the course from various other departments, and outsideof the university, it has been selected as one of the courses to be offered online by theuniversity. The design is developed as a part of a research project supported by theTurkish State Planning

describes a new civil engineering MS management option currently beingimplemented in our program. The option consists of two new graduate courses that provide arich experience in leadership, management, and professional practice outcomes. This option alsoincludes a coupling with our undergraduate culminating design class wherein graduate studentscan gain an effective leadership experience by mentoring undergraduate culminating designprojects. It also summarizes preliminary assessment of the class and student evaluations as ameans to determine the option’s effectiveness. The motivation for this new option comes from1) a desire to strengthen our undergraduate culminating design experience, 2) a strongrecommendation and support from our advisory board
Management Methodologies Support a Senior Project Research Course and Its AssessmentAbstractMotivated by required program learning outcomes and recommendations from a continuousimprovement plan focus group, Central Connecticut State University has uniquely organized itsmechanical engineering senior project design research class to include significant review ofDesign of Experiments (DOE) and Project Management (PM) methodologies. Both studies havebeen linked to computational software tools for students to use in their capstone experience. Theultimate goal of the class is a project design proposal in which researched backgroundinformation forms the introduction to a managed project plan which can include designedexperimentation within the

, 2006 Design of an engineering graphics course for a pre-engineering programAbstractA pre-engineering program is intended to give engineering students the core courses inengineering before transferring to a different university to finish their bachelor’s degree. Onecourse that usually is taught in pre-engineering programs is engineering graphics. Therequirements for such a course are quite varied depending on the school and the engineeringdiscipline to which the student transfers. This paper discusses the specific issues that arise indeveloping an engineering graphics course for a pre-engineering program. An outline of thecourse is presented including the material taught, homework assignment
course in a department of engineering andtechnology. This course has two goals: 1) to teach students the fundamentals of engineeringdesign, and 2) to teach students how to utilize graphics, to include CAD, within engineeringdesign processes.The PLM system utilized in this course was Smarteam and the CAD system was CATIA. Bothapplications are owned by Dassault Systemes and are available to academic institutions throughIBM’s HEAT program. Instead of saving their individual assignments to their network folders,students were required to manage all their projects through Smarteam. This included thechecking in and out from the PLM system’s vault all CAD and non-CAD assignments.A team design project is a significant component of this course. The

required formal education must be the research training of undergraduate civil andconstruction students to encourage them to pursue advanced education and research careers.With this in mind, the author developed a funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates(REU) summer training program for undergraduate civil and construction students that focuses onconstruction engineering and management issues and problems. This paper describes the structureof the REU program and the types of activities undertaken by the REU participants.

the current engineering programs do not provide sufficient design experience to students.Because of this, graduates often lack communication skills and teamwork experience.Engineering programs need to develop more awareness among students of the social,environmental, economic, and legal issues. These issues are better addressed in a project-basedlearning environment than in any other classroom setting. Mills et. al suggest that they are part ofthe reality of modern engineering practice and are best addressed in a group project. Shekar [3]suggests that in project-based learning, students are active learners and involved in hands-onactivities. Professors are facilitators who provide guidance to students and encourage students tothink and work
