involvement asone of their goals.Finding the right project for each course is critical. The project must contain roles for thestudents which tie in with the subject they are studying. It is not enough to send students from astructural class to help build a house for Habitat for Humanity just because they are working withstructural elements. If the students were to design the structural elements on the project, thiswould be a good fit. If a community park needed a small bridge to cross a stream, students froma concrete or steel design course could offer various designs for the bridge and then assist inbuilding it. There are any number of similar projects and possibilities available.To add dimension to the project, it is invaluable to create an

1950’s, devised a partial factorial method of experimental design that requires farfewer trials than the traditional full factorial scientific method. His method combinesengineering techniques with statistical methods in such a way that rapid improvements in qualityand cost reduction occur when optimizing product designs and manufacturing processes. “FordMotor Company was one of the first companies in the United States to recognize the value ofTaguchi’s approach to quality. Ford brought Dr. Taguchi to Dearborn, Michigan, to teach itssuppliers these techniques in 1981.” (Magowan, 1991). “The quality of Japanese automobiles isattributable largely to the widespread application of the Taguchi Method.” (Roy, 1990).

Aftercompleting the module, only four students had a score between 6 and 7, and there were no longerany students with a score less than 6 for assessing their preparedness. Also of note is that adecrease of two students from a score of 9 between the pre and post module was observed.Although, an overall trend positive increase would be ideal, the dip in this number may be just toa single lower number, 8, as there was a large increase from 3 students to 8 students who assessedthemselves as an 8.Iterations of a product is a common part of the design process.

Non destructive testing is a significant tool for documenting the structures’ conditionand allows the engineers to develop a more accurate estimation of a structure’s strength thusproviding a reliable estimate of the remaining service life. Proper use of NDT also allowsplanning engineers to repair those systems which pose the greatest risk to the community first,and make cosmetic repairs second.In response to the issues described above a four phase plan was developed to expose theengineering students to the emerging
