Through the literature review process, the studentdeveloped a more efficient method for identifying relevant papers from reliable journals. Thisapproach combined strategies learned in class, guidance from advisors, and practical insightsfrom real-world trial and error. Then by analyzing equations, data, and experimental results fromrelevant papers to incorporate them into the research study, the student learned about fluiddynamics involving shock

Thoseprograms were selected for this paper because they have different strengths, but also sharecomplementary approaches to prepare students with leadership skills. The following paragraphsdescribe the program’s unique strength and outcomes. The focus of the LDP is to develop future technical leaders by focusing on: leadership skillsand technical knowledge. In the LDP, students have the opportunity to explore the technical aspectof engineering and apply leadership knowledge by developing projects and leading RSO’s in areal-project context. The outcome is a student that deeply understands

Two MEA's developed foruse in a Senior level undergraduate mechanical engineering course are discussed herein. Thefirst MEA in this course on mechanical measurements involves the design of a strain gaugebased load cell transducer. The second MEA involves the use of an accelerometer to comparethe impact absorbing properties of packaging materials. Both MEA's were implemented in theWinter 2010 quarter; the effectiveness of the MEA's for student learning, student responses to theMEA's, and lessons learned are

Chairs regularly meet with students to reviewthe strength and accuracy of the technical material in the students’ papers. Upper-classengineering students serve as session co-chairs. These co-chairs help to keep students on task,review all students’ papers, and “fill-in” for the chairs when professional obligations preventmeetings with students.This value of a multiple-reviewer approach has been widely documented; the value forSwanson School freshmen is evidenced by the well-written, sophisticated conference papersmost students ultimately produce for the conference.

interest atthe graduate level from leading technology companies worldwide has highlighted the need for all futuregraduates to develop a systems perspective in response to the changing environment for engineeringpractice. These changes have come about from the need of businesses to compete and interact globallywith more flexible multidisciplinary approaches than practiced by the traditional “stove-pipe” disciplinaryorganization. Also, of critical significance is that consideration of the full life cycle of products andprocesses is increasingly recognized as necessary in design, and this is directly addressed by the systemsapproach.Systems engineers consider the needs of all stakeholders, both technical and non-technical, as well as thefull life
