experiment fills the need of emphasizing thesignificance of fatigue in aerospace structural design. Similar experiments could be duplicated atmost engineering universities, enhancing the undergraduate education in this important topic thatis sometimes overlooked at the undergraduate level.A survey of students taken before and after completing the course shows that graduates of thecourse have a significantly improved understanding the stress concentration effects and theirinfluence on the stress field. These students also have a significantly increased awareness of theimportance of fatigue in engineering practice. Their appreciation of the role of stressconcentrations on overall fatigue life, while possibly improved over the students entering

It appears thePCP serves as a road map that gives the student some autonomy to take charge of their programof study. This in turn results in higher engagement with the program and timely degreecompletion. Of course, unplanned events occur that might necessitate a student to deviate fromtheir PCP, either in terms of changing elective courses they wish to take or inability to enroll in aterm which might impact their PCP. In such a case an advising session with the program Directortakes place and a revised PCP is created for them.Program

Fundamental technical content takes up the bulk of the typical undergraduate engineeringcurriculum, leaving little room for a course that would focus on both the hard and soft skills ofproject management. However, the importance of developing engineering students’ projectmanagement skills should not be discounted. Standard practice is to include a one or twosemester design project for senior engineering students, often referred to as the capstone course.Such courses are an ideal forum for providing project
