Engineering technology educators wanted masters degreesii, but the broader engineering education community was still ambivalent about
importance of validation in a lab-setting. It can be saidthat it is even more important in academics because students are at the initial phase of theirengineering formation. Towards that end, a project involving flexible elements, such as hosesand cables, was utilized to get students involved in a validation exercise.Flexible elements are absolutely essential to the safe and successful operation of any vehicle, butthey are often difficult to design and define because they are subject to large elastic deformationsand because of their potential collisions with other components. This combination of factorsleaves flexible elements to be rushed into production near the end of a design cycle. Therefore, incollaboration between industry and academia, a CAE

introductorycourses are required in the first semester for both programs as part of a new curriculumcomposing of a “common freshman year” for both the Electrical and Mechanical Technologyprograms. 1 The rationale for creating these courses was to provide students with a better broadoverview of both respective fields resulting in students making a more informed choice inselecting to pursue either an EET or MET degree. Additionally these courses will help inspirestudents for future concentrated study by recognizing the end result applications of bothdisciplines by studying systems comprising of electrical and mechanical elements.1.
