For example,Texas A&M University connected a course in microprocessors and a course in electronicinterfacing in a sequence4. Both have three hours of recitation and two of laboratory each week.

Capital equipment expenditures, research anddevelopment projects, staffing issues and product development are all under increasedpressure to perform anachronistically in the short-term. Even the professionaldevelopment of technical staffs takes a back seat to short-term focus. It is not likely thatsignificant answers to “future needs for life-long learning” will come from this focus.Our graduate engineers are poised to jump into these companies. They are excited aboutbeing offered jobs and beginning careers. They desire to demonstrate ability to translatefrom potential to kinetic their energies.

BackgroundEvaluations of existing undergraduate engineering programs continually cite three weaknesses:graduates lack technical literacy; graduates lack oral and written communication skills; and grad-uates lack design experience1-5. To address these weaknesses, the School of Civil Engineering andEnvironmental Science (CEES) at the University of Oklahoma, is proposing a systemic reforminitiative that incorporates four themes throughout the curriculum. First, the centerpiece of theinitiative is a common design project, entitled “Sooner City,” that is introduced during the freshmanyear and continues for the entire curriculum. Design tasks range from population estimates to thewater supply system. A

To begin with, we view a visiting scholar as a person who is hired by an institutionto come give a talk, lead a workshop, or in some other way communicate particular expertise orskills to a local audience. This visitor is typically chosen because of expertise in a specific area,and that area has already been defined by someone at the institution as of value and/orcomplementary to the direction the organization wishes to move. In sum, someone hasdetermined that what that visitor has to offer is a valuable contribution to the local community.In the context of this paper, the person making this decision might be running a facultydevelopment center, an administrator, or a faculty member who has a personal

Others point to theavailability of specialized software packages that for example perform finite-element analysis,and that all is needed is setting up the geometry and initial and boundary conditions.
