’ have designed, rapid prototyped, cast, and tested alink in the laboratory portion of a materials and manufacturing course. A portion of this activitywas described originally in a 2005 ASEE Conference paper. The activity has been used forseveral years in the laboratory portion of the course and it has been very successful. However,one question that comes to mind is May we compare cast mechanical properties with those ofwrought properties for similar alloys. During lecture, comparisons of wrought and cast propertiesare frequently made, and it is shown that ratio of wrought to cast properties is frequently greaterthan one. To date, the direct comparison has not been done in this course. Using the studentdesigned solid models, it is possible to

All freshman engineering students at the University of Rhode Island enrolled in the first semester one credit module. Most of the engineering students will take the second semester course of two credits. Faculty from every department have volunteered to teach this course and work together in a high performance team. The team plans the course, develops the assignments, teaches the course and provides feedback and revision of the course. Undergraduate and graduate mentors help in the computer laboratory.

furthereducation in this field.IntroductionIntegration of curricula in polymer processing, computer integrated manufacturing, and metal casting hasfocused on the area of rapid prototyping. Following an extensive comparative investigation, stereolithographywas selected as the best means of integrating efforts in these laboratories. Specific applications of thistechnique to laboratory and classroom discussion have been identified. A development plan outlining a threetier approach to adding rapid prototyping to polymer processing, CIM, and metal casting curricula within theManufacturing Systems Engineering program at GMI Engineering & Management Institute is in place

However, this design has its drawbacks, allowingthe instructor only limited capabilities in adopting the software.The experience of introducing FlowLab into the Fluid Mechanics course at Grand Valley StateUniversity (GVSU) was mixed. The course was offered with an integrated laboratory.Complexities arose from the need to introduce the Fluid Mechanics fundamentals before anyproductive work in FlowLab could be performed, leaving limited time for thorough integration.After a few introductory demonstrations and tutorials, students used FlowLab to simulate theexperimental results from laboratories on the converging-diverging channel, flow over acylinder, and flow over an airfoil. The results were mixed, ranging from

One of the unique aspects of the course is that itrelies heavily on field trips. Overall, student satisfaction with the course seemed to be high, witha majority of students feeling that the course achieved its intended goals and was a positivelearning experience. This paper describes the benefits of field trips and shows how theycontribute to accomplishing course objectives.

In addition, computingshould not be done in a setting where the engineer does not understand the process beingimplemented. That is, a full understanding of the process is still very important so that theengineer can know when
