. For example, thebuilding’s mechanical room was utilized as a learning tool during a junior-level lab course to better describethe concepts of pumps and piping systems. Though the partnership between Trane and the college is still inits initial phase, both parties have already benefited from the projects completed and hope to continue tocollaborate toward improved learning experiences for students in the college. As projects are completed,Trane and the college expect to utilize the various learning tools for educational research by examiningstudent experiences and learning outcomes with respect to ABET criteria.College Industry PartnershipThe partnership with the Raymond B.

teaching a wide array of toolssuch as data analytics, statistics, operations research, and logistics among others with the main goal ofdevising efficient systems that integrate people, machines, materials, and information to make a product orservice. One of the advantages of these tools is that they can be applied to a wide range of areas andindustries like finance, healthcare, and manufacturing. Statistics is an important area in IE since “the need for statistical thinking arises often in the solutionof engineering problems” [2]. Statistics is the science of data, and as engineers we are always needing tomake sense of data by summarizing and analyzing it. The field of statistics encompasses not only theanalysis of data but also the

Thus, a number ofprojects on relevant topics are required to support the undergraduate program. The senior designproject is a capstone two-semester course sequence, in which students form teams and bid onprojects sponsored by industry, faculty research, or occasionally an idea conceived by thestudents themselves.

While the research has illustrated that inquiry-based methods canoften result in a deeper understanding of the concepts3, many instructors shy away from thisinstructional method. It is a difficult pedagogical transition for the instructor to make, and canresult in fewer topics being covered. This can negatively impact subsequent courses, particularlyin engineering, if students do not get to some of the more advanced topics in the course.Unlike lower-level courses such as College Algebra and Calculus, the online course managementsystems, along with their accompanying video lectures, applets and other resources, are notreadily available for Differential Equations textbooks.

To calculate the change of momentum, students need tofigure out the velocity change of the ball. To my surprise, the students did not use motion sensorsor photogates to find the velocity. What they did was putting a ball on a stool to make the initialvelocity of the ball be zero. After the ball was kicked and hit the ground, the final position of theball was recorded. The horizontal distance traveled by the ball could be measured. Then thestudents measured the height of the stool to

. As in other disciplines, aproxy is a substitute measure, chosen because it is easier to estimate. For example, the floor areaof a house is usually a very good indicator of the final construction cost, but it may be difficultfor the prospective owner to visualize in advance. The number and relative size of the rooms inthe house is easier to comprehend; if such a proxy can be reliably related to the final floor area,then it can provide a basis for effective estimation. In the initial PSP research, Humphrey foundthat program size, measured in LOC, was a good predictor of the total development time.

This strategy in using scenarios emphasizes the designin computer aided design.This paper will also explore the implementation of design scenarios in engineeringgraphics courses, along with highlighting the results, benefits and drawbacks.IntroductionOver the past twenty years, computer aided design has become an irreplaceable tool inthe design of machinery [2]. As the use of this technology has matured, design anddrawing instruction at educational institutions has evolved [3].As CAD was initially being adopted in industry, CAD courses were added to technicalcollege curriculum. These courses were meant to teach the student, who had alreadymastered technical drawing techniques, the procedures and syntax to use CAD software.The CAD courses were
