A couple of the students didcomment during the week in which possible changes to the curriculum were discussed thatperhaps if the course is to be required it should carry degree credit. However, all students seemedto consider the course quite worthwhile.Another concern was the possible increase in faculty workload. From the point of view of thecourse coordinator, the only real ‘work’ associated with the course was arranging for the visitors,both internal and external. Also, certain weeks required minimal organization for the discussionof that week’s topic.Benefits of the CourseThe students’ interest in chemical engineering has been confirmed by the course.

Over the years, a standard engineeringcurriculum (with many variations) has evolved. However, engineering curriculum development has notfollowed a structured approach.

To address this, the acceleration data wererecorded by the authors beforehand, and the raw acceleration data was given to the students in asingle Excel file. To perform the frequency sweep the following steps were executed:  determine approximate resonant frequency resonant based on observed response (1 Hz),  select a total of 15-20 input frequency targets approaching resonance (0.5 to 3 Hz),  input a single frequency target into the shake table,  collect at
