This practice has made the programs more relevant to interested employers and potential students. For example, when talking about the program, the faculty can identify the people in the pictures by name and note their position and accomplishments. The Advisory Tool, shown in Figure 1, is used extensively. The program core and elective course options, along with the graduate certificate programs, are placed on a single page. This enables each person is able to quickly grasp the path to graduation and completion of

one technique necessary to capture attention of Freshmen students. • Technical education should begin in high school with hands on training in all aspects of machining, welding, electronics, controllers, etc. The focus should be hands on. After high school those with engineering aspirations can take their education to the next level while others are well prepared to move into higher paying skilled labor employment. • Students need to have the ability to communicate effectively on a professional level, and be able to act/react ethically when they begin their career. A basic understanding of business fundamentals could greatly improve their contribution to an employer as well. • In order

Those types of work fully prepared us for our own experiences once we graduated and were responsible for our own assignments and workload. ● I think that automotive is a huge

There are different models of experientiallearning mentioned in the engineering education literature. For example, service learning is atype of experiential learning approach in which students can achieve their personal growth andearn professional development education while providing service to community [5]. However,researchers argue that experiential learning that takes place during community service activitiesis different from the one that takes place in the university laboratories [6].

Students in this course will choosemajors from four different engineering disciplines – mechanical, electrical, computer, productdesign/manufacturing, and therefore, an introduction to as many disciplines as is practical isdesired. Students participating in the design project also learn that solutions are rarely achievedutilizing only the knowledge base from a single engineering discipline.Finally, no program of study can teach an individual everything they will possibly need to knowduring their professional careers. Therefore, it is crucial for students to develop research skillsthat will allow them to find solutions to problems for which they have little

The Designand Manufacturing track provides seven closely-integrated courses to help students learn how toapply engineering fundamentals to practical design and manufacturing problems. The trackcourses include: Engineering Materials, Numerical Analysis, Manufacturing Processes, MachineDesign, Computer-Aided-Engineering, Advanced Manufacturing Engineering, andManufacturing Systems.

As an immersive examplethe tension between operating efficiency and productivity is explored in a capstonemanufacturing course. In this course management and engineering design and manufacturingstudents are challenged to design and develop product concepts. The tension between operatingefficiency and productivity is deliberately emphasized, much to the dismay of the engineeringdesign and manufacturing students.
