This research has been culminated in the development of a laboratory component for the undergraduate engineering electromag- netics course at Penn State. The laboratory activities were designed to give students as many chances as possible to gain hands-on experience with real-life tools, measurement devices and analysis techniques.Dr. Julio Urbina, The Pennsylvania State University - University Park JULIO V.

MCD students did notreceive a print nor dimensions from the ME capstone students. After researching on the Internet,dealerships, mechanic shops, and even Chrysler, they had to reverse engineer one of the lab's rearwheel drive transmissions that was the correct size. Students also used the hp ratios to determineif they had overcome the built-in safety factor of the transmission.The project was brought to fruition on paper during the last week. The SUV was designed,analyzed and simulated. Only one component, the brake hub, was used to design allmanufacturing plans and processes (lathe programs and

These changes are a result of a curricular redesign and prompted bythe PBL workshop mentioned in this paper’s introduction. There are two main challenges in this endeavor. One is that in SDR applications,implementation means programming, a skill that has proven difficult for a large portion of ourstudents. We intend to ameliorate this problem by having a concurrent bridge programmingcourse. The second is that more active problem solving involves a rearrangement of theremaining lecture sessions that cover the

Yet engineers are rarely exposed to the notion of broaderparticipation in a democratic society. If given the option, most faculties around theUnited States choose to add more technical specialization to a program of study, thatoften have a very short half-life with regards to an individual’s career, instead of fillingout the budding professional with an ensemble of “softer” skills, such as negotiationskills, or an explanation of how one participates in their government.My own experience as a professor in

influences and motivates their learning. As engineering is a “practicing profession” [3]where theories from mathematics and physics are applied to solve real world problems,experience in a research lab can serve as a vital component of an undergraduate’s education.Through research, students learn how engineering knowledge and applications are created anddevelop skills that are not learned in their courses [4]. Engineering students report that engagingin undergraduate research greatly increases their technical skills and knowledge [5] and helpselucidate career goals [6]. Moreover, undergraduates report that their research experiencesdeepen their engagement in learning, amplify their motivation to learn, and increase independentthinking [7

Within the context of DEA, such units are called Decision Making Units (DMU). ADMU is said to be efficient if the ratio of its weighted outputs to its weighted inputs is largerthan to the similar ratio for every other DMU in the sample16. The weights used are DMU-specific and during the application of DEA they are chosen by each DMU to maximize its ownefficiency rating. The selection of the weights is only subject to limitations that they should bepositive (or in
