primary focus forthe ceramics course. Most students do not engage often in structural design regardingcompression, but may be introduced to ‘column design’ as an example. Introductions usuallyoccur in a ‘Strength of Materials’ course2. Thereafter, information may be found in some‘Machine Design’ courses3. Typical engineering handbooks4 also summarize column design,and relate the variety of analytical approaches. There are numerous ‘critical load’ equations fordifferent materials (e.g. steel vs. aluminum) and different lengths (e.g. ‘short’-Euler vs. ‘long’-Johnston). In practice, the predominant method for design of any sort is numerical. On a recentperuse of the Internet, a site was found that listed many numerical analysis programs that

..$ . I(beyond the schooldoors) are themselves extremely open-ended. Mercer’s National Engineering Advisory Board, a group of senior technical executives from industry,has%-ongly encouraged the use of multidisciplinary design projects in our program because they representthe types of design challenges that exist today. Engineers are called upon to interface intelligently withothers-outside their area of expertise. For the student, having to tackle a multidisciplinary effort requires newteam building skills that have not been developed in the engineering science courses of the sophomore andjunior years. Another aspect of the “real world” that is easily replicated in most academic engineering designprograms is the need to operate in

At a large Midwestern university with aunique first-year engineering program, first-year engineering and senior mathematics,engineering, and senior students in a design discipline were invited to participate in an openended design task. After completing the task, they were interviewed about how they solved thestudy design task as well as about their perceptions of their mathematical and design abilities.Finally, the students provided insight into their previous

A very importantcontrast-enhancement/ stretching technique with wide applications is an automatic procedureknown as histogram equalization1-9. It is called an automatic procedure because it does notrequire any user control parameters for its application to an image.Because of the importance of histogram equalization and its potential wide applications, thissubtopic is included in almost all serious image-processing courses and textbooks1-9.

Nearly half of the faculty members in the Civil and EnvironmentalEngineering (CEE) department have participated in KEEN workshops that focus onimplementation of EML in their respective courses. These faculty have woven EML throughoutthe CEE curriculum to ensure that students have assignments that relate to the three Cs everysemester from freshman to senior year. These assignments are also used to fulfill ABET andASCE Civil Engineering Program Criteria. This paper will describe class assignments forcourses with EML content, extra- and co-curricular EML activities, the
