In other words, the SoE is Improvability and Endurance. TheSoE is achieved at two levels, namely, the system and approach levels. At the system levelcomes the educational institution that should be able to improve without reducing its ability toendure.

CAD/CAM and computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine tools play importantroles in modern manufacturing engineering.Indoctrinating students in the modern production process is crucial. ME 435, the IntermediateManufacturing course offered by the mechanical engineering department at Christian BrothersUniversity (CBU), addresses this need. First offered in the fall of 1996, the class revolves aroundthe use of computers to integrate the design, analysis, and manufacturing phases of production.Students in ME 435 use the facilities of the Integrated Laboratory for Manufacturing Education(ILME) developed at CBU under a National Science Foundation grant.Students are first introduced to parametric design methodology, including part and

Literature review and industry reports indicate that there is anexisting gap in the skills acquired by students in STEM majors and the industry expectations ofskills. A mismatch in the skills possessed by graduates could result in longer learning curves anddecreased employee productivity. The objective of this study is to identify the most importantskills desired by industry from college graduates in STEM related fields and add new perspectiveon STEM education curriculum improvement. The study used a mixed method of bothqualitative and quantitative approaches to develop a list of STEM skill indicators and factors.The list of 20 skills was initially identified through

In addition to the theory, the studentsalso gain the design capability using these industry standard software packages, and thereforebridging the gap between theory and practice. .IntroductionThe vector property of E&M fields is at the heart of optics and E&M wave theories. At the sametime, it is also often a difficult knowledge point in an engineering curriculum. This in a majorway is because the vector nature of the fields is abstract. First of all, an E&M field is not
