In an urban environment where high school graduates can find summer employmentrelatively easily, and with financial aid starting only in the fall, bridge programs at the Universityof Houston cannot reach those students most in need of them. Our program for disadvantagedstudents (PROMES- PROgram for Mastery in Engineering Studies) therefore built the bridgeprogram concept into the freshman year.

An in depth coverage of the finite elementtechnique as it relates to vibration analysis will enable the students to be better prepared to meettheir real world engineering challenges. An in depth coverage of the technique can beaccomplished by having an independent course that is focused on the use of finite elementmodeling in vibration analysis. Such a course can be offered as an advanced undergraduate or aintroductory graduate level course.VIII: Summary and ConclusionThis article presents the use of the ANSYS finite element software as a supplemental teachingtool in a vibration analysis curriculum.

In contrast to the in-person project work pre-COVID, theauthor observed increased challenges related to time management and peer support when theproject was completed by students in physical isolation. Student reporting and perception overthe term tended to overstate their progress, which led to a compressed delivery schedule at theend of the term.

Until recently, none of these courses included a laboratory inwhich students could gain direct, hands-on experience into the behavior of materials. The lack of anundergraduate laboratory specifically focused on introducing the undergraduate mechanical engineeringstudent to the world of materials was viewed as a weakness in our curriculum by the author. Moreover, in theopinion of industry, there is an immediate need for engineers conversant in the fundamental principles ofmaterial behavior best reinforced by direct, hands-on laboratory

The traditional design process is linear in that onephase is often dependent upon the completion of the previous step. Today the designprocess is concurrent with iterations continuing to occur much later in the design cyclethan was possible with the traditional design process.The integration of rapid prototyping technology into the Engineering Design Graphics(EDG) curriculum is expensive and beyond the resources of this two-year collegeengineering program.

. Teaching a Real-time Audio Application: Simulator or Hardware?Given the desire to teach a real-time voice removal DSP application, how do we impart suchconcepts to undergraduates? Computer-based simulations can be highly effective in teachingmany DSP topics.3 We can take advantage of the fact that the software package MATLAB4 andits related toolboxes have become a mainstay in most EE programs. Given our student’sfamiliarity with MATLAB, designing this voice removal system in MATLAB seems to be anatural approach. But while MATLAB can process a recording of a song off-line, our studentsseem more impressed designing their own system that can voice strip a song in real-time as a CDis played.
