teaching students how to associate what they are learning in the course to thevery next steps of the engineering design and development process.Surface modeling is one of the areas utilized in the effort for teaching students applications ofengineering graphics. This is similar to an attempt by Hartman [8] where surface modeling wasintegrated into the graphics curriculum. In this effort, once the students complete their surfacemodeling study through Mastercam surface creation exercises, they are required to build a 3-Dsurface model to be employed in computer numerically control (CNC) program generation. Thestudents then have to go through the steps of the computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) processfor observing impact of a set of Mastercam NC code

In thepast, typical laboratories consisted of a set of exercises with pre-established experimental set up,and instructions. This concept did not foster critical thinking skills because it did not providestudents with the opportunity to build experiments and models from scratch, experiencedifficulties, be resourceful, explore alternatives and make design decisions. Therefore, there wasa strong pedagogical need for better practical problem solving skills in the area of thermo-fluids.MARATHON was created to facilitate development of student problem solving skills in

A host of students here at Alfred State College have alluded to thebenefits experienced in a laboratory setting where they are able to apply the theorypresented during lecture. This added dimension of application has been cited numeroustimes as the main reason for selecting an engineering technology curriculum over anengineering science curriculum.

Due to this nature, normal industrial networks are usually kept isolated from theenterprise networks. In the same manner, the general approach to curricular structuredesigns in enterprise networks and industrial networks is to separate the two. However,the rapid growth of information technology and the continuing cost reduction incomputing hardware have stimulated the growth of computer networking in all aspects.The interoperability between these two types of networking becomes an important andvalid issue to be addressed.

While many excellent programs reach working professionals throughdistance learning and on-line programs, other programs provide a “high touch” approachdesigned to engage students in “systems thinking” and collaborative learning that is difficult toachieve through distance or on-line formats.
