College of Engineering, Technology and Architecture, University of Hartford, ConnecticutABSTRACTDue to increasing requirements in performance, in areas such as computers andautomobiles, manufacturing companies have been forced to produce within tightertolerances and perform more elaborate testing to validate their products. In thecase of automotive manufacturers the measurement of vibration is essential. In thepast, equipment such as strain gauges and piezoelectric accelerometers have beenadequate in measuring it. However, they have had several disadvantages. Onedisadvantage being that the part must be mounted on the surface of the objectbeing measured. This can result in the mass altering the frequency and modeshape of the

Higher Education and the Technology Accreditation Commission of theAccreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (TAC/ABET) are very concerned and require Outcomesand Assessments at the course level as well as at the program level.We are trying to approach Outcomes and Assessments from building a basic shell. This shell will be a database,a repository of information on the students that take a particular class. The database will contain the student’spersonal information. The other part of the shell will be a spreadsheet created in EXCEL that will contain basicstudent data imported from ACCESS, test scores, attendance and homework. Each of the above categories willbe a separate sheet in the EXCEL spreadsheet.Primarily, we are going to build

blending the courses with the podcasts was beneficial. The surveys alsoindicated that students felt comfortable and empowered to learn with the technology. Whileblending the courses clearly improved the content and student enjoyment of the course, the studydid not address if the inclusion of video influenced student learning. This lack of quantifiabledata relating student learning to the inclusion of video content is prevalent throughoutengineering education literature. For example, in a study by Halyo and Le 5 at HamptonUniversity, the authors incorporated two video lectures into their Introduction to Engineering(freshman level) and Introduction to Control Systems (senior level) courses.

Statics course. This is the first course in the PurdueUniversity Mechanical Engineering Technology program where students are being exposed to the designexperience. The goal of the project was to expose the students to the full design cycle and to verify that theanalysis methods learned in class really do predict the structure’s behavior. The project was a group effort todesign and build a truss structure given exterior dimension constraints, load point constraints and a providedpack of materials. The student groups were to design the truss to maximize a score determined mainly as afunction of the load to failure divided by the structure’s weight. On a prearranged date, all trusses wereloaded to failure in a tensile test machine. Afterwards, the
