Yet, however effective this approach can be shown to be, itis also true that engineering faculty are already charged with conveying a substantial amount oftechnical information. They might reasonably argue that there is not time to cover the volume ofthe material that they must address using these methods. This is where an in-house WritingProgram Specialist plays a pivotal role. He or she will present critical thinking to students as thefoundation

However, coopexperiences vary significantly from student to student, resulting in varied levels of exposure tokey technologies and industries. In addition, many of the courses currently taught in the variouscurricula do not have a strong connection to industry, making it difficult for students to directlysee the correlation between the material they are learning in class, and how it is applied.The objective of the Ideas Clinic Industry Hubs is to develop a model of engineering educationthat has an in-built mechanism to provide hands-on training, using real-world examplesdeveloped in conjunction with industry, in leading edge and emerging fields

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science students enrolled in agraduate level VHDL and programmable logic design course during the summer term of 1998.The course presented students with a hardware-level description of CPLDs and FPGAs andproceeded into the use of VHDL software to program these devices. The culmination of thecourse was a hardware project based on the design of a 4-bit microprocessor using VHDL. Thestudents were tasked with synthesizing the ALU portion of the microprocessor using abehavioral level VHDL description of the circuit. The project then required the students to Page 4.84.6 6implement

The new CAMsystem described in this paper takes a another step closer to actual engineering practice.It incorporates a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) 3-axis milling machine which canwork from the same database already established. This system can make much largerparts, up to eight feet long, and can make them from structurally testable materials.From a design education point of view, the Boolean algebra or intersection of setsapproach to building solid models on a computer screen is deceptively easy.

As othernations increase their investments in engineering research and education, the U.S.risks falling behind in critical research capabilities and, ultimately, theinnovations that flow from research 7. The nation’s ability to capitalize on newknowledge resulting from large investments in life sciences will depend oncontributions from engineering. Engineering research is founded on a disciplinedapproach to problem solving and the application of sophisticated modeling,design, and testing tools to solve problems. The Educating the Engineer of

These courses are for junior andsenior level students, and have a programming course pre-requisite. All students in this majorhave had previous CAD/CAM coursework, which provides them with experience using similarapplications. The course materials use a combination of the tutorials, exercises, and reality

As an alternative approach, some institutionsutilize flight simulation as an education tool to enhance the aerospace engineering curriculum [5,6, 7], for training flight instructors [8], and enhance the learning experience [9]. In addition toflight simulation as a means to understand the dynamics of flight and human factors associatedwith it, some institutions also offer courses on aircraft flight test using these flight simulator tools.The Department of Aerospace Science and Technology at Politecnico di Milano (DSTA-PoliMi)has developed a unique graduate course on flight testing that focuses on hands-on experience [10].Students are required

The goals of thisproject are to: • Create a course on multicore programming for general-purpose applications, which can be potentially adapted or adopted by the computer engineering or computer science departments at other institutions. • Investigate the effective use of problem-based learning (PBL) in this course to overcome the difficulty of teaching and learning MTP

Although the formality ofoutcomes-based education may be unfamiliar to some, the fundamental ideas are not new, andare routinely incorporated into our day-to-day efforts to improve student learning. ABET 2000provides the formal context needed for broad application of these ideas and, of course, thedriving force needed to facilitate change.At issue, then, is how we will respond to this opportunity. On one hand ABET 2000 may beviewed as an unpleasant and perhaps unnecessary task that must be accomplished to achieveaccreditation. Alternatively, it may be viewed as a catalyst for making significant improvementsto engineering education. It is our opinion that
