One program at PurdueUniversity pairs Deaf students with mentors from engineering or science (who are alsoDeaf), so that they can pass vital information on pitfalls and hurdles they themselvesencountered while going through the program [4]. This program also providesmechanisms to help the Deaf students learn concurrent with traditional students.

The capstone project is usually design Page 5.321.3oriented and provides an opportunity for student teams (of two) to work on application-orientedinterdisciplinary problems. Examples of projects are material substitution and integration usingvalue analysis approach for modular engine air intake system and material alternatives for rearaxle housing of a heavy truck.

As such, this Workshop is very time-intensive and represents a majorteaching commitment. The students would like to have more time for their presentations and forquestions from the audience. The students have also suggested that the Coordinator give someexamples of poor communication skills or things to avoid in public speaking. Another frequentsuggestion from the students is to provide a similar workshop that would focus on writtencommunication skills.Bibliography1. Paradis, J.G. and M.L.

Many structural, transportation,environmental, and geotechnical engineers conduct onsite, laboratory, or computer modelingexperiments on a regular basis. These studies often culminate in technical reports. Civilengineering programs often attempt to prepare students for such activities by requiring allstudents to participate in laboratory exercises and to prepare formal reports of the resulting dataanalysis and interpretation. Although a traditional mechanics of materials laboratory course canmeet this goal, commonly used experiments do not prepare students to conduct a critical part ofthe process described in ABET Criterion 3; designing the experiment.

There are powerfularguments for the approaches to teaching of any one of these: the scientific method, therigour, the ability to apply logical thought and reasoned experimentation to physical problemsin the broadest sense. And the subject of materials is a broad one, drawing togetherunderstanding from physics, from chemistry, from mathematics and – these days – fromcomputer science 1-11. But while the study of materials bridges these “pure” disciplines, it is,in the end, an applied science.
