Acritical element in the student’s maturation through the learning process is that theybecome, to quote ABET, “independent life-long learners”. To this end, the Departmentof Engineering Mechanics at the US Air Force Academy adopted the title phrase as thefocus area for their students or cadets as they are known.

The life sciences are also integrated into many of the traditional engineering sciencecourses taken by the biomedical engineering students. Continual and progressive assessment ofa student’s progress is crucial to improving the quality of the BE program at MSOE.

importance of CAE in engineering education is well established andmany engineering programs now include some type of formal education utilizing solid modellingsoftware packages1,2,3. Many studies have shown that the use of CAE software enhances thelearning of students at all levels from first year4,5,6 to fourth year7,8. The CAD/CAE softwarepackages themselves tend to be broad based, offer extensive tools for the experiencedpractitioner and hence they may not be intuitive to the novice user.CAE is not a trivial domain. It is easy to generate results that are incorrect and dangerous9.Therefore, it is essential to know what is going on within a software program and recognize thesoftware’s limitations10.
