universities are adapting to technological advancesand society needs by introducing new courses, new programs and concurrently implementinginnovative methods to complement the class room teaching. Fundamental engineering theoryconcepts are still the core material in introductory courses, however, implementation andapplications of this theory is becoming more and more specialized. Specialized fields inengineering disciplines continue to grow in order to meet this demand. As a result engineeringcurricula must provide relevant examples for students, be based on the needs of society, anddevelop methods used by real world engineers1.One such specialized field is the current demand for engineers with fundamental understandingof building system design.

However there are limitations to the use of tide charts. Tide charts are mostly basedon astronomical forcing or the influence on water levels of the respective motions of the earth,the moon, and the sun. There are locations around the world, including the Gulf of Mexico,where other factors such meteorological forcing often dominate tidal forcing and limitsignificantly the application of tide charts. In such cases other models must be developed toaccurately forecast water levels.Different schemes that we are using for the prediction of water levels include harmonic analysis

The objective of the course is toprovide a foundational knowledge of MEMS theory and applications and to provide students withhands-on experience in microfabrication by developing an electro-thermal actuator. The electro-thermal actuators were made of aluminum deposited on silicon wafers using a photoresist sacrificiallayer. Many designs, which comprised the same features but differed in

In addition, if that part can be actually fabricated and fit into anexisting assembly, it makes the abstract design process more vivid and real for the student. Afterall, “it always works on paper!” — or nowadays, the CAD terminal.Rapid prototyping provides an excellent way to achieve these objectives because it can produce acomplex part directly from a CAD model.
