It provides the mechanism for students to transition fromacademics to the professional world, and is a great opportunity to apply coursework skills to realcivil engineering projects.Over the course of two semesters, seniors, working in teams of four to six, propose to solve areal engineering problem for an actual client, perform the engineering work as

Next, the learningcontext is described, followed by the general framework used for each design experience.Individual design experiences are then described. The paper concludes with lessons learned andfuture improvements planned.Production Systems Design and Manufacturing Systems EngineeringThe course, Production Systems Design, is a four credit hour course (two design credits) thatfocuses on planning the overall production process and designing the workplace in a discrete partproduction environment.

A few students complained about the grading system and requested a clearer pictureabout the weight of each assessed component on the final grade.The suggestions and review by faculty colleagues was also sought to determine the usability of thecourse. The faculty was invited to the presentations of the class project. They were also presentedthe course material and lab exercises. Suggested questionnaire for faculty colleagues are as follows:1.

Current freshmen studywhile listening to an IPOD, texting or IMing their friends, etc. So methods used byfaculty should be effective – measuring the tolerance of washers, building a circuit on abreadboard, etc. Those students not interested in these types of lab experiences should notbe engineers, right? The University of Texas at Tyler chose to try something new whilelooking to improve retention of freshmen and provide valuable content like engineeringconstraints early in an engineer’s academic career.

The analysis of forcesinvolved in the calibration and thrust tests were calculated using the knowledge from the Dynamicsclass. The student covered various topics that they learned from this project and beyond. This project will be used in the future by several senior design teams to experimentallycharacterize their motors. Similarly, the device will be used for the AUVSI teams of the upcomingyears. Furthermore, the device will be beneficial both to undergraduate and graduate studentsduring their laboratory research.

In light of all this, itshould come as no surprise when students come away from their formal education scratchingtheir heads.In this paper, I pose the following two-part question: How should “tensors” be introduced toscience and engineering students for the first time, and at what point in their education? InSection 2, I review both the component and the geometric approaches in detail. In Section 3, Iargue that the geometric approach is the simpler, clearer, more general, more elegant, andtherefore more pedagogically correct of the two.

In consideration of this general observation, it may be a good idea to offer andrequire the Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) as a mandatory core graduate level course forMS and PhD graduate students. As finite element course and solving the PDEs relies heavily onMatrix and Vector background, so a graduate course of Matrix and Vector may be required asprerequisite for PDEs graduate course.

. One main part of the accreditationprocess concerns the student outcomes. It all starts with ETAC/ABET student learning criteria.An Engineering Technology program must use these learning criteria to develop its own studentoutcomes. It must document student outcomes that will serve as a reference in judging how thestudents attain the program educational objectives. A documented and effective process for theperiodic review and revision of student outcomes must be available. One challenge is how topresent the student outcomes in the self-study report. Each student outcome has to be assessedvia a well-developed rubric. Another challenge is to how to summarize all statistics from alldifferent rubrics and report it in a well-written
