The twomain objectives of the course are: (1) the students gain a thorough understanding of thefundamental principles underlying design of various structural components and the relevantstipulations in the ACI Code and (2) they correctly apply that knowledge to various practicaldesign problems. A combination of homework and computational laboratory assignments isused for meeting the second objective. However, a significant amount of design activities isbased on trial-and-error procedure that often requires several iterations, involving tedious,repetitive calculations. Also

uniquestructure recognizes that early career design is beneficial for students. All ABET-accrediteduniversities maintain a design requirement per ABET learning outcomes B and C for the 2018-2019 requirements [1]. However, our emphasis on design is focused to obtain early engineeringprinciples such as hands-on understanding of force, energy and motion. We believe that thesethree principles are one of the most significant topics to cover at an early stage, as instruction inthese areas can lay the foreground to higher levels of Mechanical Engineering concepts such asstress, strain, tension, torsion, and more - all of which are implemented in the upper-level designcourses at NMT.Course Structure RedesignThe introduction to Mechanical Engineering course was

In this paper, a web-based magnetic design that will serve as a design tool toaid students taking the course in understanding and performing step-by-step procedures onmagnetic design will be presented. Although geared more toward a learning tool forundergraduate electrical engineering students, the new web-based design could also provide auseful tool and reference for any practicing engineers who want to learn the basics of designinginductors and transformers.Web-based InterfaceThe magnetic design course as it is currently presented first reviews basics of magnetics,magnetic circuits, and several power supply topologies before going into the design aspects

However, theabstract concepts may be difficult for students to comprehend. Specific application examplesand hands-on experimentation can aid student understanding. Antenna projects that are includedin electromagnetics courses can reinforce principles in design and measurement. These activitiesmay even incorporate competition, along with an element of fun, as in the case of a long-runningexercise used by the United States Air Force Academy.

Inorder to build a successful device the students must understand basic mechanical, electrical,and aerospace engineering concepts. Because the project is multidisciplinary in nature, ithas attracted members from various departments at Georgia Tech. As a result, the studentsare exposed to teammates with varying backgrounds and technical proficiencies. This servesto reinforce the necessity of teamwork skills and provides experience in a multidisciplinary,collaborative design environment.Efforts have been made to further the impact of this project on student learning.

These coursesfocus on manufacturing technologies and related processing without consideration from theengineering design point of view.Several drawbacks exist in the current settings of these two curricula. From the course list above,it is clear there are some redundancies between the courses offered by these two programs. TheCAD courses are a good example. In addition, the current curriculum does not adequately meetthe needs of design for manufacturing in industries. As a matter of fact, design for manufacturingis not addressed in either program expected outcomes at this time. As a result, these programsmay produce design engineers who create designs with poor manufacturability andmanufacturing engineers who are weak in understanding of an

Redesigning Senior Process Design David C. Miller* and Atanas Serbezov Department of Chemical Engineering Rose-Hulman Institute of TechnologyIntroductionSenior design is widely regarded as an important capstone experience for undergraduateengineering students. By integrating material from previous courses, it provides a conceptualframework for tackling a wide variety of open-ended, real-world engineering problems.Traditionally, senior design consists of the following common elements: process economics,capital costing, simulation and a grass-roots design project.

The approach emphasizes thepotential for engineering design to inform the development of public policies. One of the authorsof this paper (Tramba) was a student participant in the activities discussed here, addressing theneed for affordable, energy-efficient housing and the necessity to coordinate public policydevelopment with engineering design in order to reach major societal goals. Home-energyefficiency and her particular role in projects related to it serve as case studies in effective policy-design integration.2 Political Applications of EngineeringIn an increasingly technology-driven society, engineers are needed for an
long been an “art-form” requiring years of experienceand familiarity with processes and available tooling. Manufacturing engineering programs havestruggled with how to teach the subject, resolving mostly to include it in courses on individualprocesses (e.g., design of cutting tools in a material removal class, design of molds in a castingclass, etc.). This approach leaves manufacturing engineers without an understanding of theoverall methodology of design, especially as compared to their counterparts getting mechanicalengineering degrees. This knowledge gap is critical as manufacturing engineers join mechanicalengineers (and other engineers) on concurrent design teams where they must work with andcontribute to design efforts.
