Collaborative Task Force for reformof professionally oriented engineering graduate education to make it more relevant to the needsof industry and to ensure a strong U.S. engineering workforce for competitiveness. The mission,purpose, methods, motivations, talents, and experience of engineering professionals whoconceptualize, design, develop, innovate, and lead the purposeful development of new andimproved technology are quite different from those of the academic scientific researcher. It isnow evident that innovative professional graduate education programs do not fit organizationallyinto traditional disciplinary research-oriented academic departments. This paper focuses on newtypes of innovative organizations that are required to initiate, develop

collaborative projects have dealt with the winding of digital tape media. Thesetape packs are used in many storage settings where high capacity and secure storage areessential. To meet the ever-increasing storage needs of the computer industry, the tape storagedevices must be constantly improved, and innovations must be incorporated into the designand manufacturing processes. Digital tape storage is one key market for Imation, and as thesole U.S.-based manufacturer of digital storage media, digital tape manufacturing bringsmany engineering design challenges. The nature of these challenges and their possiblesolutions are exactly what students should encounter within capstone design courses andgraduate projects in order to receive a “real-world” research

Common courses in these programs may include manufacturing automation,computer-integrated manufacturing and/or numerical control systems1,2,3. These courses typicallycover a wide range of topics such as control theory, robotics, and programmable logiccontrollers, and limited coverage of computer numerical control (CNC) and computer-aideddesign/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM).This paper describes a new laboratory-oriented course at the industrial technology (IT) programof California Polytechnic State

University, Nashville, TN 37232-2675AbstractHands-on learning of x-ray imaging principles using actual x-ray equipment is unrealisticdue to high equipment costs, limited availability of such devices, and, most of all, safetyconcerns. Computer simulators can substitute for hands-on learning but are notnecessarily as effective, especially for kinesthetic learners, and typically limit the amountof collaborative work possible. The objective of this work is to teach principles of x-rayimaging using a creative, safe and inexpensive alternative to “real” hands-on-learning.Visible light is used in specially designed exercises to teach the principles of attenuation,magnification, penumbra, and detector resolution.
