Manufacturing is a field where boundariesbetween disciplines disappear opening opportunities for multidisciplinary research. The researchprojects and faculty mentors participating in the program represent 5 different disciplines in thecollege of engineering.

significant amounts of published research have focusedon the design and impact of blended “liberal studies in engineering” programs22, 23, 24, 25, 26(sometimes described as B.A. programs in Engineering Studies) similar to the program wedescribe at CPSU, surprisingly little of this research has attended to gender or the computingdisciplines. We believe that it is time to integrate the diverse research focused a) the relationshipsbetween liberal education and B.S. programs in engineering and computer science, b) theintegration of problem- and context-based education in B.S. programs in engineering andcomputer science, c) B.S. programs in engineering and computer science at liberal arts colleges,and d) the recruitment, retention, and success of women

how empirical values are gathered and placed in documents for use. This activitywould cause students to gain a level of comfort in using empirical data documented in varioushandbooks. Material behavior is critical to any engineering design because it provides the basisof material selection that will provide the performance needed to make a product safe andfunctional repeatedly. The Universal Testing machine was selected because of ease of use andreadily available materials that could be made into specimens. Aluminum specimens of ¼” x 1”x 12” were cut off from a ASTM-B-221 Kaiser 6061-T6511 stock.
