Areas for improvement included a betterintegration across courses, increased design experiences particularly in the thermal sciences, andbetter integration of computer skills throughout the program.Define Objectives Through numerous discussions in faculty meetings and curriculum committee meetings,objectives for the design of a new curriculum were formulated by the faculty in Spring 2003.Initially the design objectives were listed without grouping. It was found that the objectiveswere more easily conveyed and understood when grouped into two main objectives. Theseobjectives are:1) IMPROVE DELIVERY - To encourage deeper student learning by: a. Integrating theory with practice b. Integrating concepts across courses c. Requiring

A successful educational program is one,which changes its structure and content to adapt to rapidly changing occupational requirements. Page 4.270.1Due to the many advancements which have been made in the construction field since itsexistence, it was important that construction programs be reviewed periodically to determinehow effectively they meet the needs of the students and industry.

The second part of the reform was developed inside the Aerospace Engineering department, and addressed the portion of the curriculum unique to Aerospace, as well as how the Aerospace department chose to implement the recommendations of the college-wide effort. The primary elements of the reform are: The adoption of a four-credit per course/four course per semester/eight semesters to graduation (4 x 4 x 8) model. One engineering course each semester of the freshman year - the first an intro- duction to engineering; the second an introduction to computers and computing.

Plotting and other graphical techniques help students visualize the resultsof their work. Students also make use of various computational techniques including matrixsolution of a system of linear equations and symbolic math. The book applies an array of math andscience problems in each section that reinforce programming techniques, but these problems donot directly align with our curriculum. Instead of using the book problems, we changed oneproblem on each homework set to directly match with the current PHY160 curriculum and requiredthe students to use the problem-solving strategy to arrive at a MATLAB based solution
