Two courses appearing the most in common werethe Industrial Engineering Technology course, Quality Management, and the Decision Sciences course, TotalQuality Management. Since quality improvement activities are often interdisciplinary in nature, these courseswere chosen as the basis for the new interdisciplinary course. The course prerequisites included production-operations topics such as just-in-time manufacturing,inventory control and statistical process control. The course had a heavy emphasis on a “process” orientationof the enterprise rather than a functional orientation. Included were topics on the quality gurus such asDeming and Juran

Fatiguefailures are estimated to occur in 80-90% of all machine component failures. Fatigue is a majortopic that is addressed in undergraduate and graduate machine design courses and textbooks. Amachine design course is required in most undergraduate mechanical engineering programs. Inacademia or industry fatigue problems have traditionally been solved by hand or an in-housecomputer program specialized for a particular type of fatigue application.

. This paper describes thechanges in the course content and philosophy as a result of this review. These changeshave resulted from a decision to remove most of the course “content” and focus on a very“hands-on” approach (on the instructors’ part) to managing and encouraginginterdisciplinary teams working on interdisciplinary projects. Previously the courseintroduced a variety of design related topics: the design process, oral and writtencommunications, risk analysis, ISO 9000, engineering ethics, statistics, optimization,present value analysis, and neural networks.

That is, once a student leaves the university, he or she “must know that they aren’tcase studies anymore because once the presentation has been made, it isn’t over – either youmake money or you lose it.

Construction industry has adopted new inspection programs withseveral NDT techniques, many of which initiated in the research units of universities, and were thentransferred to the industry for use and further development. However, in most cases, they did notinfiltrate the classrooms. As a result, engineering graduates are not properly trained to utilize NDTequipments. Other countries have placed a greater emphasis on NDT in their education system [6].Similar efforts exist in the U.S., but are rare.

Some students may resent this, but on the other hand, thestudents that traditionally do not work as hard may be forced to produce more with this format.Overall, the rotation of partners provides a balancing effect. However, a more important factor isthat schedules do not always mesh for all partners to work together on their lab reports or forworking together in the lead-groups.Advantages Are NumerousConducting laboratories in this fashion provides numerous benefits.

Insuch courses, the practical component can unfortunately not be taught by the professor but is putin the hands of Teaching Assistants (TAs) as lecture groups are divided into smaller groups to fitin the lab environment. In such setting, the lack of feedback from the professor is oftenexacerbated by inconsistencies among TAs. This lack of individual attention and the variabilityfactor introduced by having different people participate in the teaching can be quite devastatingfor students, especially freshman students just out of high school.Physical problems with no obvious physical solutions lead to search for virtual solutions.
