Today’s approach needs to acknowledgecompetitor knowledge, innovative ideas, and satisfying the client through cutting-edgethinking. However, such thinking is not very common in many engineering businesses.Therefore, it is vital that today’s engineering curriculum should put a focus on this area.Quality and Project ManagementClosely linked with these marketing skills there is a need for enhanced quality and projectmanagement skills.

Hence, our students are given basic instruction in fundamental computerprogramming as well as exposure to various specialized engineering software.

Engineers routinely encountermassive amounts of data, and new techniques and tools are emerging to create knowledge out ofthese data [1].

Also, the “new student”is a member of the MTV generation, and is used to absorbing images and information muchfaster than the previous generation, and in a different way, in “information chunks.” It is wise totake advantage of new communication techniques made available by these new computing tools,particularly when we must adapt to meet the new learning styles evolving from use of thesemedia outside the classroom.

The goal of this paper is to describe the development of a new course in concurrent engineering.Teaching concepts in product development benefits greatly from a hands-on approach. We have attempted toestablish this goal in three ways: by developing and using a number of laboratories and demonstrations, byinviting speakers from industry who can make classroom lessons concrete, and by using cases as the basis forclass discussion.

This program isexpected to serve as a national model for integrating structural dynamics into the undergraduatecivil engineering curriculum. The UCIST program is described in detail in Ref. 2.6. SummaryAn educational program has been developed at Washington University in St. Louis to familiarizeundergraduates with concepts in structural dynamics and with new approaches in structural con-trol. The students gain an understanding of structural dynamics and control through “hands-on”experiments. The experiments are designed to be performed using a bench-scale shake table. Thisequipment allows one to simulate an earthquake and study dynamic behavior of structures. Addi-tionally
