development in courses within the engineering major, not just in one specified course in technical communication. 5This empirical evidence is also supported by recent research in composition studies. Not only dosuch experiences help engineering students see the value of communication for their futurecareers, but writing in the engineering classroom also introduces students to the modes ofcommunication that are appropriate to the field of engineering. When the engineering professorassigns lab reports, project proposals, and design reports, students learn to communicate from apractitioner of engineering communication, that is, the engineering faculty member. 6

Through discussion and research, we did, however begin to understand the decision of management. By using an Utilitarianistic point of view, it was the rational decision. • I learned that I have more of an engineering mind than a political mind. Just because a decision will make a couple of Congressman happy, doesn't mean it is the right decision. Page 6.562.18 • I have learned that I will really enjoy the field of

Lizzio and Wilson(2005) indicated thatself-learning is learner-centered for learners to learn how to plan, execute and evaluate.Self-learning facilitates self-maturation and ability promotion. Chen emphasized that, duringself-learning, employment ability and professional technique can be promoted to accomplishthe goal of self-learning. Hwang also suggested that the goal of self-learning is to solveproblems and gain skills. In addition, for self-initiated learning, the learning goal and contentare determined and planned by the learner, and the learning plan and the learning element arecontrolled by the learner; individual and career development are not blocked.METHODOLOGY This research is quantitative

In regard to the use of commercial FE software withfatigue capabilities, Hagigat24 states, “…from an educational point of view, it is recommendedthat these capabilities not be used initially. After a student understands the concepts by goingthrough the steps in this article, he/she can then use the additional capabilities of the softwarecorrectly. A lack of knowledge of the theory behind the more advanced capabilities of thesoftware can lead to the incorrect use of the software.” Still no direct computation of fatigue lifewas carried out using FE software.Educational Goals and ObjectivesThis work is part of a larger scale project to

, most ofthat research represents high risk with the potential of high reward. Over the long term,breakthrough technologies that free us from our reliance on fossil fuels are a must. However, thebenefits of alternative energies generally have an implementation horizon that ranges from yearsto decades and rely on technologies that have yet to be made technologically or economicallyviable.In the near-term, conservation efforts must be developed concurrently. Such efforts offer greatopportunity for immediate reduction of the energy problem. The magnitude of benefits that canbe achieved from conservation can be observed in the consumer market.
