To help alleviate this problem, both industry and universities mustwork harder at promoting engineering and engineering-related careers at the secondary schoollevel. Recently, the Sloan foundation released an excellent set of multimedia materials aimed ateducating students about careers in engineering1. These materials provide valuable informationfor high school seniors and college freshman who have already decided that they are interested ina science or engineering-related career. Over the past ten years there have also been numeroussummer workshops held at universities around the country for middle and high school students.These types of workshops have

The course adopts a flipped classroom approach [14].Most of the lecture time is dedicated to team discussion and groupwork. Labs are mainly usedfor hands-on prototyping and project building.Most students enrolled in this course are from aerospace engineering, chemical engineering,electrical engineering and mechanical engineering, along with a few students from other majorssuch as computer science and material science. Students work in multidisciplinary teams in bothlecture and lab throughout the semester. Two multidisciplinary team design projects are used.During

Attrition from part I to part II is at about the 20% level, with most ofthis 20% opting to take a regular section of part II.The “lecture” part of the course meets three times per week for 50 minutes each, and the“lab” component is flexible as we will describe below. We cover the same material inthis course as is covered in the regular sections offered in our department. These are:Physics I – mechanics, kinematics, rotational motion, gravity, waves, static and dynamicfluids, conservation of energy, linear momentum and angular momentum (co-requisite ofCalculus 1); Physics II – thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism, circuits, geometricaloptics, physical optics (pre-requisite Physics I).

seems to reflect an attitudeon the part of industry that the company liaisons will have to do a lot of work for little or nobenefit. Another concern which potential sponsors often express is that much of the material inany project offered would be proprietary. Since the final design reports are in the public domain,many times companies decline to participate on this basis alone. To get around this obstacle, Igenerally point out that we can change specific numbers in the reports, so that there would betwo versions, one for the company and one for the university. In several of the projects whichhave been completed in the last seven years, some process information has been omitted tosatisfy industrial interests.2. Characterizing Projects

of product design[6,7]. Unfortunately, best manufacturing practices and design expertise are hard to disseminate todesigners. To effectively disseminate and reuse this valuable knowledge, design andmanufacturing departments need quantitative feedback mechanisms such as Design forAssembly methodology. Inevitably, our MET students need to learn how to generate quantitativefeedback from manufacturing engineers to design engineers in the early design phase.A designer usually spends 25-30% of design time searching previous product design and itsrelated manufacturing information [6]. The assemblability of product designs could be drasticallyimproved by using a good DFA method and tool. As the design team conceptualizes alternativesolutions, it
