progressing towards a May 2007 graduation. As anundergraduate-only engineering program, the ME faculty members place a strong emphasis ongraduates possessing this Extra-Curricular professional competence. To achieve this outcome, itis necessary to provide students with the opportunity to acquire design tools and skills, as well ascompetency in mathematical and technical analysis, and communication. Throughout the four-year plan of study, the ME students receive coordinated instruction from both thermal-fluids andmechanical systems faculty, and are required to demonstrate varied levels of professionalcompetence in both tracks.The ASHRAE funded project provided an excellent vehicle for this integration and major designexperience to occur.

EngineeringIntroductionAt the dawn of the 21st century, a technologically advanced job market is sustaining an on-goingdemand for civil engineering programs to address instructional needs in the discipline of spatialdata collection and analysis [1,2.] Increased expectations are constantly being placed on civilengineering graduates to deal with vast amounts of data related to traditional surveying, databasegeocoding, digital mapping, 3-D modeling and real-time spatial location. As a result, numerouscivil engineering programs are struggling to accommodate surveying type courses in an alreadycrowded undergraduate curriculum. The number of schools continuing to offer surveying as partof the required curriculum have decreased considerably in recent years. Another trend

in terms of tenure-track teaching and for promotion and tenure. Unfortunately, these constraints would most likelyexclude young faculty trying to build their careers in research. On the other hand, engineeringexperience is a valuable asset. This type of teaching is a great opportunity for faculty who arenot ready to retire and want to try something new—an enterprise that leaves room for new waysof doing things—in other words, an application of creative problem solving.References1 W.R.

Engineering curricula must also be relevant and attractive to stakeholders such as faculty,students, parents, alumni, and employers of curriculum graduates. One way of assuring relevance andattractiveness is to use strategic planning as a driving force for curriculum renewal. There are four basic components of strategic planning in any setting: scope, resource deployments,competitive advantages, and synergy7. Related to engineering curriculum renewal, these componentscorrespond to the environmental opportunities and concerns associated with the specific engineering departmentunder study and the discipline specialties and subspecialties of the faculty, the curriculum changes

Another reason for delaying the projects for asemester is the high attrition of students in the first semester, which causes disruption in studentteams, as noted above.Engineering graphics can also present challenges for some students, especially female students,who have been shown to lag their male counterparts in spatial (3D visualization) ability, asreported by Peters et al.7 and others.
