A very importantcomponent of the course is an attempt to give the Mechanical Engineering student aconversational knowledge of related fields, especially Electrical Engineering and controls, whichis necessary in today’s environment. In that context, this course is similar to a course inMechantronics, but, based on the content of texts that have been reviewed, differs in emphasisand breadth of coverage.IntroductionWe, as engineering educators, currently strive to introduce ever-increasing design content intoour courses. In attempting that, we sometimes teach the students to reinvent and redesign thewheel, and not teach that which we really should be teaching. Mechanical Engineering studentschoose

responsibilityto engineering educators, especially as methods become commercially available software in thehands of the inexperienced. Adequate understanding of design criteria does not equate withbeing able to run PC based programs. We, however, owe it to our students to introduce andmake available modern design tools. One way is to use validation methods for instruction.Historical, well-documented full scale trails (which also include after action reports) can be usedto demonstrate our design and analysis programs. The problems of structural discontinuities andsharp corners seem to recur in every design, while being well documented in 1946(20), 1964(21
