Lessons and assignments for undergraduates do not require knowledge of a programming language such as FORTRAN or C.5. For graduate students using the text (as the text for the elective course described in goal 3, or as a supplementary text in various graduate courses), an additional goal (beyond educating the students in the principles, capabilities and limitations of molecular-based methods) will be to provide the necessary background for the students to apply molecular simulation in their own area of research. This will require that the

Page 5.597.1number crunching. To accomplish all of these steps acceptably, again a solid understanding ofstructural behavior is essential. For example, the ability to test whether a structural system isadequate without performing detailed calculations is extremely beneficial. Unfortunately,however, the undergraduate education system often overemphasizes the analytical skills at theexpense of other skills. This is due in part to the institutions assuming that only the analyticalskills are essential to a newly graduating junior engineer, expecting the students to pick up theextra skills once in practice.The approach of focusing on the analytical aspects, however, does not allow the student todevelop a qualitative conceptual understanding that
packagingand component selection to allow student access to internal circuit connections. An advantage tousing these pcb modules rather than either “bird’s nest” prototyping boards or circuit simulationprograms is that the pcb modules will most realistically demonstrate real issues in circuit designand construction. By contrast, simulation programs go to one extreme by idealizing the circuit,and solderless boards go to the other extreme by turning every interconnection wire into anantenna.A manufacturer of suitcase prototyping systems has expressed to us their strong interest inproducing these modules to be enhancements to their products.Benefits to Electronic Engineering Technology EducationEnhancement of education for Associates and Bachelors degree

Again, the operational support cost model for executive typeoperations was named Execops.All four of these programs were originally written in Microsoft Basic and run on a DOS-basedPC within the Basic application environment in a traditional command line mode. This seemedthe most practical approach to widespread usability because at that time Basic was provided as ano-cost addendum to the DOS operating system on virtually all PC’s. As Windows becamewidespread, PC sellers stopped providing Basic. So the programs were compiled into executablefiles using Quick Basic 4.5 so that they could run in the DOS mode on virtually any machine.The programs were listed in University of Virginia’s compendium of design

engineering education, I have lived in multiple cities,changed schools often, and have often been called “the new kid in class.” I remember having tointroduce myself in class to strangers every couple of years and hoping to have a shiny enoughlunchbox for others to want to sit with me. Along the way, I met several friends and mentorswhom I have found comfort in confiding in, have supported me as I have asked uncomfortableand hard questions of myself and systems around me, and have championed by beliefs, passions,and craziness. These and several other experiences have made me realize the importance ofcamaraderie and community to ask, answer, solve, and sometimes just sit with issues ofsystematic disenfranchisement, especially issues that relate to the
programs at West VirginiaUniversity. The new system and its implementation into the assessment process are discussedhere. Assessment data is presented to support the hypothesis that survey data alone isinconclusive and that outcome portfolios provide additional, valuable information for programenhancement. A comparison between the data for the two programs, Aerospace Engineering andMechanical Engineering, is used to support our conclusions.IntroductionBoth the Aerospace Engineering (AE) and Mechanical Engineering (ME) programs at WestVirginia University are administered in the Department of Mechanical and AerospaceEngineering (MAE) and have been accredited programs for a long time.
