Learning outcomes are defined by ABET as [1]: Student outcomes describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to the skills, knowledge, and behaviors that students acquire as they progress through the program.ABET Criterion 3 requires that programs that they accredit demonstrate that students

Introduction:The need for multidisciplinary cooperation in a global economy necessitates the need tointroduce projects that increasingly engage students early in their freshman engineeringyear in college. With a dynamic market place, graduates need to be able to interacteffectively in diverse fields. One important goal of multidisciplinary design is to identifythe many solutions needed to solve a single problem while keeping in mind the manydiffering objectives of the overall project [4]. A multidisciplinary approach toengineering design is valuable in that it asks that students make certain that

Young faculty members may therefore consider thefield too “risky” to become involved.A study conducted by the Southern Technology Council found that few universities arerewarding faculty involved in innovation and entrepreneurship [1]. Additionally, the mostcommon reward is simply an acknowledgment. The report recommends that universities adoptinventing and technology transfer as part of the tenure and promotion process.

Construction industry has adopted new inspection programs withseveral NDT techniques, many of which initiated in the research units of universities, and were thentransferred to the industry for use and further development. However, in most cases, they did notinfiltrate the classrooms. As a result, engineering graduates are not properly trained to utilize NDTequipments. Other countries have placed a greater emphasis on NDT in their education system [6].Similar efforts exist in the U.S., but are rare.

Teams turn in their projects, and each briefs their solution to one portion of theproject. During the last half of the class, we then show the students how these projectideas that they have studied can be (and will be in later courses) extended to more generaladvection problems in atmospheric, reservoir, and water table modeling (e.g., throughDarcy’s law). We repeat this process in the next two blocks of the course as well. In thePDE block, students use separation of variables and Mathcad to investigate the puregroundwater diffusion scenario (with extensions to flow nets and creeping potential flowin
