compilation of the survey results.Outcome 1: Why do I want to major in Engineering?17 of the 20 students plan on majoring in Engineering in college. The remaining 3 arestill undecided on their major but has Engineering in their top 3 choices of studies. Thestudents offered a number of reasons for their decision of Engineering. • My parent(s) are making me study engineering • They are studying Engineering because of the chance of making a lot of money • They enjoy the subjects science and mathematics • Engineering offers a host of well paid careers • Engineering allows you to put your creativity to the test every day • Because engineering is an international activity, professional engineers often have the opportunity to

Finally, the team reports its findings to the CEAB which then makesan accreditation decision. It may grant (or extend) accreditation of a program for a period of upto six years or it may deny accreditation altogether.Preparation for an accreditation visit centres on the completion of the questionnaire. Thequestionnaire serves as a means for collecting data on the institution and its engineeringprogram(s) and gives the

]. However, there is disagreement regarding theimplementation of SET corrections [9]. The validity of SET as measure of teachingeffectiveness was strongly questioned in the 1970’s [10]. More recently, it was arguedthat student ratings are of little help to instructors willing to improve them if notsupported by professional advice [11]. The hypothesis that the instructor’s look is arelevant factor to SET was dismissed by a recent study [12]. More general concerns arerelated to how effectively SET ratings are actually used [9].

, such as not fully extending the raised leg(s) during the foot placement phase. Slippage from poor traction also was a contributor here. • Poor joint coordination: During the power stroke phase of the gait, the robot must alter all the joint angles so as to shift its center of gravity forward while maintaining all feet in contact with the ground. Doing this correctly is equivalent to velocity control of a parallel kinematic chained mechanism and was beyond the scope of the course. Still, students found a series of intermediate poses that seemed to work. • Time management: Students falsely assume that the majority of the work is in the mechanical design and underestimate the amount of time required for gait design

This paperexplains the decline in military Metrology training, the attempt to integrate the needed traininginto colleges and Universities, and Sypris Test & Measurement Inc.’s (ST&M) partnershipefforts with Central Georgia Technical College and University of Central Florida to meet itsIndustrial Metrology needs.Introduction“Metrology” is the Science of Measurement. It is a small field that is obscure from mainstreamScience and Engineering but shares the same principles and theories taught at any institution ofhigher learning. The function of this small group touches almost every action we do and everytransaction we make in our day to day existence. Two such examples of this that are easilyrelated to are
the product’s behavior during testing cannot shapeiterative design efforts if they go unnoticed. What students learn as they iteratively plan, buildand test their designs depends in part on whether their attention is focused or diffused. Helpingteachers to get students to notice critical and problematic features in their designs is a challengethat may be helped with the simple application of the 4-item diagnostic reasoning protocol usedin this study, though the efficacy of such actions will require future testing in laboratory andclassroom settings.
