, and texts to transfer key concepts. Even though this process meets most of thetypical Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) objectives, it often fails to instillcritical thinking and does not necessarily motivate students to pursue graduate thesis-oriented research.In fact, the rigid lecture and text book structures in some of the Digital Signal Processing (DSP) classesoften fail to connect the concepts with applications and with application-driven research. Of particularinterest is the impact of the aforementioned education problems in the areas of signal processing forcommunications (SP-COM). A common observation from teaching the typical UG courses in these areasis that, regardless of the innovative teaching strategies

In essence, the syllabus for the course was an evolving documentdriven by student curiosity, thereby helping to prepare the students for life-long learning.Environmental issues are not usually “cut and dry” problems with simple answers; rather, theseissues are interconnected with many other aspects, including technological and economicconstraints.

By requiring students to be consistent in theapplication of datum planes/axes and location dimensions, the instructor emphasizes theimportance of capturing design intent (manufacturing intent) in the model thus further enhancingthe students understanding of the impact of design on manufacturing.This paper discusses the importance of three dimensional-modeling and geometric dimensioningas they relate to manufacturing and outlines a two-semester course sequence for presenting thismaterial in a Manufacturing Engineering Technology curriculum.A Need to Follow the Change in Communication ModelsA survey by Clark and Scale of North Carolina

pandemic, the comments about the class havebeen insightful. Because the topics are things that have not been broached before, the classbecomes unique and many students comment on how relaxing many of the assignments are. Thevariety/out of the box nature of the assignments let students heavily involved with technicalengineering find a moment to simply relax. The lack of pressure provides a little light in the longdays of being trapped in one location. This one focus will be another aspect to investigatefurther. Investigating how the students need courses that allow relaxation in our curriculum willbe appropriate study to follow.BibliographyABET web site, Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology, www.abet.orgAtman, Cynthia J., Sheri D
