Both small andlarge size companies need to have their employees educated in the skills of IPD for jobs of thefuture [2].The Committee on Science, Engineering and Public Policy has recommended that a broader,more flexible, cross-functional education be implemented for graduate scientists and engineers[5]. However, very few U.S. universities offer cross-functional courses that address integratedproduct development [6]. The major difficulty has been the faculty's lack of motivation, abilityand multi-disciplinary experience in teaching integrated courses [7]. MIT was one of the

The testing procedure was done as the lab project of Computer-AidedManufacturing courses at the University of Texas at El Paso offer in the term of fall 2017. First,the basic principle of the ultrasonic testing has been described to build up the theoreticalknowledge among the engineering students. Besides, the description of the equipment will helpthe students in handling the equipment properly. In addition, the step by step testing procedurewill increase the hands-on skill of the future engineer. Here, we see that, using the ultrasonic testingprocedure, one can easily detect any defects or discontinuities embedded in the materials. Thismethod is very

Onthe other hand, techniques for force measurement using strain-gages, which are readily availableto students and researchers in Mechanical Engineering Departments, could be used to determineSOI. In fact, Henein and Rozanski [8] attempted to use the strain-gage based technique tomeasure the injection pressure on the rig, outside the engine, in order to evaluate whether it couldbe used for detection of injection system malfunctions in the field. Their diagnostic methodologywas based on the peak pressure value, but the fidelity of the pressure profile as a function ofcrank angle was not emphasized.

much more likely to fall into the older bracket and are thereforemore likely to be rational-dominated thinkers. How can this gap be bridged? Therational thinker has to be aware of this difference and accommodate for it. For anemotion-dominant thinker, it is not what is said, but how they are made to feel(Konijn, 2018). Inspiring the student to care about the subject at hand is the key. It is important to determine what motivates students, what do they careabout. By taking a poll in class on the first day, this can be ascertained. A fewquestions are as follows: • Why do you want to be an engineer? • What industries do you want to work in? Most of the mechanical engineering students here in Arkansas say they areinterested in the
