Another issue in product differentiation, relates to the calls for broadening the educationof Ph.D. in physics.10 The problem is that if you broaden the education too much, there will belittle to differentiate a Ph.D. in physics from one in engineering, which raises the question of whyhave the physics graduate program in the first place.It is in the area of customer service that the interaction with engineering becomes the mostobvious. The engineering department at most universities is the largest customer for the physicsdepartment. At Penn State, for example, about half of the students in the freshman-sophomorephysics

Engineering curricula is being modified to incorporate vertical integration of designthrough large projects between the first year and the last year of their programs. By interactingwith industry, the product design students become familiar with the steps in creative productdesign starting from the concepts to production and marketing. New approaches are provided toenable students to learn how to work smarter. In view of the recent development in leanmanufacturing and information technology, emphasis on value stream mapping and its influenceon product development is important. A good product design course should familiarize theproduct designers and students

In this project, students are exposed to various expertisein engineering including programming, electronics, and modeling, while using minimal resourcesand operating without access to a traditional machine shop. The paper starts with the rationale ofthe new student project, theoretical considerations behind the project, followed by theimplementation of each semester and student feedback.

automatically by “Goal Seek.” While the previous two papers deal with relativelysimple single-pipe flows, Streeter and Wylie3 describe several computer algorithms and codes forthe solution of more complicated pipe network problems. Asking students to write programs forsuch problems is normally beyond the scope of an introductory fluid mechanics course. Indeed,many practicing engineers, when faced with complex flow problems, will resort to commercially-available software packages. This paper describes an alternative way that uses the nonlinearequation solving capabilities of Excel to solve complex pipe flow problems in a relativelystraightforward fashion. Besides giving students a tool for their future engineering practice, thistechnique opens up the
