During this phase the Project Team learns about the mission, needs, and priorities ofthe Project Partner. A key aspect of this phase is identifying projects that satisfy three criteria:they are needed by the Project Partner, they require engineering design, and they are a reasonablematch to the team’s capabilities. Also, to ensure that the students build confidence and the ProjectPartners see progress

To study frictional losses in pipes, for example, students used a graduatedcylinder, a light sensor, and a piece of Styrofoam to determine the time it took for water to flowfrom various heights through a piece of Tygon tubing. (Figure 16).Figure 16.

For instance, Shigley and Mischke do not coverradial stresses for curved beams. Students will quickly point out the advantage of this option assaving money by using a book for more than one class. Advanced mechanics of materials texts such as Boresi, Schmidt, and Sidebottom10 andCook and Young11 are good advanced mechanics of materials texts, but they can overwhelm thestudents.

Just before graduating from their program, students were given a list of all required courses in the mechanical engineering curriculum. We asked students to rank the courses on a scale from 1 (low) to 10 (high) indicating “how important [they] feel each course was in [their] education toward becoming a mechanical engineer.” Students were advised to evaluate the importance of the course subject and material rather than the quality of instruction. Students who took a traditional numerical methods class, on average, gave it the lowest ranking of all mechanical engineering courses. Students who

ratio for an instructor-intensive course such as this. In adiverse academic community, there will always be some faculty, who have a more theoretical, research inclination,and who do not understand how this course will make better graduate students.These discussions are neitherunexpected, nor disheartening. They are a natural occurrence in the long process of improving the way we thinkabout, teach, and practice design at the undergraduate level.IV.

the process of designing application programs startsfrom the individual module development through extensive testing, verification, andmodification. Applying these developed modules in a useful manner requires the links andintegrations that lead to the practical project implementation. Frequently, in students’ seniorproject designs and faculty’s research plans, the microprocessor/microcontroller resourcesbecome scarce or cause conflicts during the modules’ integration stage. To accommodate the shortfall of the resources and resolve any conflict state, severalchoices must be considered, such as the need to revise or totally rework the module, or apply themodule with additional circuit design.

The obvioussolution is to enroll more students to develop the labs, but if they are being paid, then costbecomes a factor.
