This report “expresses the collective opinion of theCommittee concerning the future direction of the undergraduate engineering programs”(ASAE, 1990). A decade has passed since the publication of this report. When we read ittoday, we are so much impressed by the vision of the people who participated in thewriting of the report.Computer and electronics-based instrumentation and control technologies have beenapplied in all areas within the discipline of BAE, including power and machinery, soiland water, food- and bio-processing

The outcome levels, in conjunction with other material covered inclass, were used to structure midterm and final oral exams. In these exams, each student met withtwo faculty members who assessed the student development relative to the course content andcomponents of the outcome levels. Each oral exam was preceded by a written student self assess-ment exercise in which they described their progress in areas related to the outcomes associatedwith the course. The final self assessment exercise also included questions to gauge the studentsunderstanding of the outcome structure and to obtain feedback relative to the effectiveness withwhich

It grew over the next 50-years to approximately 500 employees and $60M in sales from military shelters, enclosures, high mobility special forces vehicles, and simple electro-mechanical robots, the latter being part of a TDI acquisition. TDI’s CEO recognized that in order for the company to flourish and grow, it would need to expand beyond currently served market segments and product offerings. With its small success in robotics, TDI looks to enter into the expanding demand for robots across applications such as hazardous operating

Two fluid mechanics modules,the hydraulic loss as shown in Fig. 1, and the venturi meter in Fig. 2 have standpipes thatoperate as monometers for direct visual interpretation of the pressure head along the lengthof the pipe. The hydraulic loss module has a consistent diameter pipe to convey concepts ofcontinuity and skin friction head loss, while the venturi meter has a contraction at the throatand gradual expansion to the same diameter as the incoming pipe for demonstrating fluidflow

Doing so exposes thestudents to the concepts of gathering customer needs, deriving a functional model of the product,disassembling the product, generating a bill of materials, identifying solution principles for theproduct’s functions and benchmarking the product through completion of a Quality FunctionalDeployment (QFD) chart. Many of these concepts are rather abstract and presenting thetechniques just in time for the students to apply them to their product provides an immediateconcrete experience to assist in learning.

Add to the situation resistance to allocating funding to support communicationpedagogy and you have a system that falls short of adequately preparing these students for therigors of writing at the graduate level as a precursor to professional practice.The cumulative result is a pattern of faculty advisors attending to writing issues (e.g.,mechanical, organization, and expression) at the expense of time assessing the student‘s work fortechnical accuracy and completeness.
