Since, a classicmechanical engineering curriculum may not offer instructions of the use of multimediatools in the areas of computer illustration, animation, and image manipulation, thisexperience increased interest of the major students.

This paper examines the impact of spatial visualization skills as measured by thePSVT:R on the students’ confidence levels at the beginning and at the end of their first year in anengineering curriculum. Spatial skills of students selecting different majors are compared todetermine if spatial skills may be a factor in a person’s choice of major (e.g., do mostmechanical engineering majors have highly developed spatial visualization skills while morecomputer engineering majors have less developed spatial visualization skills?).

Curriculum with Coherent ThemeAbstractA design engineer uses math to solve real-world problems. To that end, traditional mechanicalengineering curricula teach modeling and analysis skills in a set of specific, often decades-old,courses. This regiment of courses give the student the skill set needed to be an engineer, but is alltoo often insufficient at teaching that student how to use that skill set. That is, the student is ill-prepared to bring those multidisciplinary skills together to solve problems, to actually be anengineer.A new curriculum strategy is proposed in which at least one course each semester reflects theconcepts of model-based design. Therefore, the engineering student becomes progressivelymature in applying his or her

Thestandard method that is most popular today is the Project Management Book of Knowledge(PMBOK; first published in 1996) process and the use of computer-aided PM tools (e.g., MSProject, Jira, SmartSheet, etc.). This set of tools have been around for at least a generation. Forproject managers, getting and maintaining a PMI certification is considered key to theirprofessional standing. All tools for estimation, budgeting (cost), scheduling (time), and projecttracking are well built into these PM processes and computer-aided tools.
