. Additionally, no changes were made to the course textbook over the different examstructures, and only minor changes were made to the course lecture materials. As much aspractical, the changes made to this course between its yearly offerings were the number of midtermexaminations and/or assessment via quizzes.The framework used for assessing these outcomes is a modified version of the Faculty CourseAssessment Report (FCAR) method employed by several colleges and universities.3 The mostsubstantial modification made in using the FCAR method in the Mechanical Engineering programat York College of Pennsylvania is to use an EMB vector instead of an EAMU vector.

The second course (Mechanics II)integrates the remaining elements of Mechanics of Solids with the majority of Civil EngineeringMaterials.A key pedagogical component in this curricular restructuring is the use of “overarchingproblems”. The integrated content delivery allows for the full development of commonlyencountered problems in civil engineering within mechanics courses at the sophomore year. Forexample, students are able to use the Statics concepts of equilibrium and truss analysis, alongwith the Mechanics of Solids concepts of stress, axial deformation, and factor of safety, and theCivil Engineering Materials concepts of steel

Totake full advantage of this incredible engineering tool, FEA has been integrated in lower-levelmechanics courses such as statics, mechanics of materials, machine design etc. It should be notedthat most mechanical engineering undergraduate programs offer FEA as an upper-level technicalelective or required course. Although the integration of FEA in mechanics and/or design coursesis an existing concept, the practice is limited to the use of FEA software package such as how tocreate a CAD model, how to set up a problem, and obtain a simulation.

The concepts covered span the range fromthose topics usually covered in a first Physics course to the college level course indynamics. Consequently the need for separate courses in Physics, Statics and Dynamicsis eliminated.

projects have printed morethan 30,000 fuel nozzle tips in 2018 [2] and GE expects to print more than 100,000 additive partsby 2020 [3]. Engineering components printed by 3-dimensional printers are employed asmechanical structures in an assembly. In order for the printed components to be useful forengineering applications, mechanical properties of printed parts must be known for structuraldesign. The properties provide answers to the strength of the material, the types of stresses acomponent can endure before failure, and the size of a component based on the loads itexperiences. 3D printed materials have recently been studied for their mechanical properties [4,5, 6].

Use of some of the math and/or CAEtools as a part of a machine design course is believed to help performing parametric studies andto evolve alternative designs.
