However, theseinstructors are often on the fray of the fabric of their departments, disconnected fromconversations, committees, and decisions that have traditionally been in the realm of tenure-trackfaculty.

among engineering educators on how to measure and documentperformance in this area. Though not a panacea, institutional design portfolios are proposed as a tool to helpassess and communicate the design content of an institution’s curriculum. The design portfolio can be a usefulmechanism for a program to articulate its design philosophy, document how student design experiences haveput that philosophy into practice, reflect on successful design exercises and evaluate the students’ completedesign experience. Creating and using a design portfolio highlights design as a developmental skill within theengineering curriculum and allows the faculty to focus on design as an integrated component of engineeringeducation. Because of this focused attention
typical mechanical engineering curriculum, Design of Thermal System course is theculminating course for thermal fluid stem where synthesis of junior and senior level classes ispresented with respect to real-world engineering systems such as a coal-fired power plant. Thecourse covers design process, equipment selection, economic consideration, mathematicalmodeling, and numerical simulations of energy systems. Even though the course is generally arequired course for many engineering programs, the author found that many curricula have eitherstopped offering the course or included some aspects of the course in some junior level courses.At Lamar University the faculty member who used to teach the class was recently retired and theauthor took up the
such commercial software packages as mysteriousblack boxes, capable of generating results such as pressure drop, drag, and velocitydistributions, it is important for mechanical engineering programs to graduate studentswith a basic understanding of the underlying concepts, capabilities, as well as limitationsof CFD, i.e., graduates capable of assessing the validity and accuracy of the underlyingnumerical techniques used in commercial codes. This is particularly important since the“colorful” results of CFD can often mislead students into trusting all of the results(correct or erroneous) that the computer generates.With this goal in mind, a senior/beginning graduate level course on Computational FluidDynamics (ME 439/539) was introduced in the
course at OSU serves two student groups. One group takes a single fieldscourse then pursues some other area of electrical engineering. The second, smaller group takesadditional EM and photonics courses, gaining depth in this area. The current, traditional EMcourse focuses on analytic skills needed by students who will pursue depth in this area, ironicallymaximizing the first group of students and minimizing the second. VECTOR educates studentsabout the applications and impact of EM in electrical engineering and related disciplines beforefocusing on analytic solution techniques. Students are given relevant design projects in the firstcourse to motivate discovery of the theoretical foundations of the projects in the second course.We are increasing

skill andprecision. CAD requires less manual skill and can be applied to 2-D and 3-D graphicalproblems. Accuracy, along with precision drawing, measuring and calculating capabilities arebuilt into the program. Almost any CAD software (e.g. Pro/ENGINEER®, AutoCAD®,CADKEY®, etc.) can be used for solving problems. They all can be used for accuratepositioning, drawing, dimensioning, and conducting queries or analysis as well as accessingother information or properties of geometric features. In turn, these capabilities provide theability to solve engineering problems using graphical techniques producing results similar toother calculator or computer techniques with the same inherent accuracy.

objectives relating to experi-mentation in in addition to those related to engineering problem solving can be daunting. For thisreason, many schools have installed courses dedicated to laboratory skills. For example, Schertzeret. al discusses the structure and content for an ‘Engineering Measurement Lab’ at the Universityof Rochester.[6] A dedicated course has the advantage of a singular focus on developing and as-sessing laboratory related objectives. A potential drawback, however, is that students could missconnections between lab activities and concepts from other courses.In the distant past, the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering program at the University of Vir-ginia included several labs which focused on ’hands-on’ experience with

For placement measures to behelpful for these purposes, the reported data must present an accurate picture of placement.Three significant issues negatively affect the accuracy of these data: low response rate, non-response bias, and restrictions on employment eligibility faced by international students.Impact of low response rate on placement resultsIn a limited survey of ten highly ranked U.S. engineering programs where a Ph.D. is the highestdegree
