Consequently, inaddition to providing funding, the SIIP initiative attempted to provide on the fly faculty andcommunity development.

The advantage of the second approach is that thecloud service provider provides the required support to maintain the big-data system in additionto provide new services as they evolve. However, the disadvantage of this approach is its highcost and the obligation to renew the system cloud resources on fixed (e.g. annual) basis.3.3 Analytics ToolsThe last component of the integrated lab environment is the analytics component. Regarding thiscomponent the challenge mainly found in the integration of the big-data repository and theanalytics tool.

design tasks were performed through manual calculations by followingtraditional lecture notes. The conceptual design was followed by more sophisticated three-dimensional design tasks using computer-aided techniques. Finally, the students were assessedcontinuously with respect to their technical contribution, working techniques and interactionwith their peer group at national and international level. They were also probed regarding theiropinion on various aspects of the project using interviews and forms. These surveys have beenevaluated together with the opinion of the academic staff in order to form future directions. For the planning the students had to consider the engine as a whole before distributing the tasksindividually. This enabled

Another approach was taken by Korach andGargac [8] where they re-vamped first-year curriculum by incorporating active learning exercisesinto the existing curriculum. Korach and Gargac [8] found that both instructors and studentsbenefited from the addition of entrepreneurial mindset activities. Instructors found the activitiesbetter engaged students in the course and generated excitement around the engineering field whilethe students developed beneficial skills for a successful career.

, there is a concomitant needfor changes in design and manufacturing pedagogy. It is important for engineering education to have the multi-and cross-disciplinary approaches expected of practicing engineers. Design education needs a perspective ofproduction-related topics while manufacturing education needs an emphasis on manufacturing response todesign changes. The Design & Manufacturing course introduced at R.P.I. in Spring 1995 combined elements of bothdesign and manufacturing education in a new way. This upper-class Mechanical Engineering course gives avertical exposure to elements of the design-to-production process.

During the last three decades, engineering laboratories have becomemore complex, including simulation tools and computer-controlled test and measurementequipment7-8. This increased sophistication has also led to more expensive equipment.
