, wedecided to step up to the challenge of shaping courses and key experiences that would develophighly competent technical leaders.We created and delivered a series of leadership courses for graduate students in our School ofEngineering with excellent results, and have reported on these in several previous articles(Millam and Bennett 2004, 2011c,d), (Bennett and Millam 2011a,b) and a book (Bennett andMillam 2012). In the course of this work, we felt a strong need to find out what otherengineering schools and universities were doing to ensure their graduates were fluent in theirunderstanding and practice of leadership. Our research, utilizing a simple survey of deans ofengineering schools, was designed to determine how widespread the interest was in

learning experience is taking place,including the past offering when 100% of the students received at least B- (80%) letter grade.Course evaluations also indicated ratings mainly in the range of 4 - 5 in 5 scale.In summary, students gain 15 weeks of hands-on practical experience on industrial grade robots.They learn about trajectory planning, program planning and logic with flow-charts and state-flowdiagrams. The students also study the wiring process of inputs and outputs to the robotcontroller. But, most importantly they get exposed to scenarios replicating real-life cases such ashand-exchange and setting of a TOOLFRAME, palletizing and depalletizing, and mostimportantly wiring and programming of an actual work-cell, possibly twice – one with an

From an educational stance, the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) [5], states engineering students’ minimum learningoutcomes (a) through (k) as shown in Table 1: Table 1: ABET learning outcomes a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data c) an ability to design a system, component, or

The main learning outcomes were related directly to the ABET [10] criteria a and b, asshe demonstrated abilities in the areas of mathematics, science and engineering . Also the studentdemonstrated comprehensive skills related to criteria c and d, specifically designing a system andits components for “a broadly defined engineering problem”. She also conducted tests andmeasurements; she analyzed and interpreted experimental data and she applied her results toresults to improve the developed module. She gained new knowledge in the area of mechanicaldesign, being able to
systems including design and development of pilot testing facility, mechanical instrumentation, and industrial applications of aircraft engines. Also, in the past 10 years she gained experience in teaching ME and ET courses in both quality control and quality assurance areas as well as in thermal-fluid, energy conversion and mechanical areas from various levels of instruction and addressed to a broad spectrum of students, from freshmen to seniors, from high school graduates to adult learners. She also has extended experience in curriculum development. Dr Husanu developed laboratory activities for Measurement and Instrumentation course as well as for quality control undergraduate and graduate courses in ET Masters

A comparison between mathematical modeling and experimental data will enablestudents to explore deviation of theoretical models from the physical system as also how well anassumption may describe a real system behavior.ConclusionsThe SLOs related to the course implementation of the learning modules are related to the twomain areas: (1) introductory notions for thermodynamics and fluid mechanics and (2) energyconversion and energy efficiency, from estimation to direct quantification. Therefore ABETcriteria and b will guide our SLO assessment as main criteria [7]. Also, criterion c will beimportant to assess, due to experimental nature of the activities developed. The

Special emphasis is placed on the “traditional” processes fromthe standpoint of production methods, sequence of operations, and economic decision analysis.The objectives of MET1161 include: (a) Provide each student with an opportunity to gain anunderstanding and appreciation of the breadth and depth of the field of manufacturing; (b)Emphasize and recognize the strong interrelationships between material properties andmanufacturing processes; (c) Provide each student with an opportunity to become familiar withsome of the basic
total surveys completed were approximately 30. Theresults were similar to the results in previous years. The second survey came approximately 60 percent through the project time. The secondsurvey was completed by the teams and all nine teams completed the survey. This survey is inTable 2 and was a combination of the second and third surveys when four reports were submittedinstead of the current three reports. The last five questions were reminders of what should beincluded in the report and the low values are expected as students tend to focus only on runningthe program and printing the results. Some of the results are interesting as the response toQuestion A was 4.8 and the response to Question B was 5.0. It would be unusual for the
