Teams were requiredto develop their own designs on AutoCAD using construction materials provided only by theinstructors, with corresponding costs for each item used in creating the paper airplanes. Thepaper airplane construction materials were priced individually and were charged to the teams asthey were consumed. Students were integrated into functional positions on each team,independent of their individual gender and age level. Of the 17 students who completed the fullprogram and attended the awards ceremony, ten of the students (or approximately 60%) werefemale. This paper will detail the

Students apply to earn thesustainability engineering designation by compiling a dossier in the semester prior to theirgraduation. The students bear the burden of proof to show that they have earned the designation,and the dossier is the mechanism by which the students provide that proof. (See Appendix 1 fordossier

This allows students to have a heightened level of confidence when theyalready have some level of expertise on the topic.The final instructional strategy used was delivery skills. Students were encouraged to usevisual aids and to avoid sounding too memorized in order to promote audienceinteraction. The instructor noticed that the two ESL students had a particularly difficulttime with this. One of them was very reliant upon his notes and as a result had very littleeye contact with the class. The other had excellent eye contact, but his presentationseemed too rehearsed. Both

The mostappealing aspect to these sensors is that they produce their own energy. Any mechanical pressureupon the piezo-electric ceramic material generates a voltage. This is because of the specificasymmetric crystal structure of the material. The sign of the voltage will change as the mechanical6|Pagedeformation changes or oscillates.

This will be achieved by such mechanisms as solvingtwo closely related problems using material from two different courses and using the output of amodule from one class as an input to a different module. This type of integration would bedifficult to achieve without the use of the technology.The fact that we are using information technology to achieve this integration of the curriculumalso enhances a student's ability to solve engineering problems.
