474Six years ago the Aircraft Detail Design course underwent a curricular update to better prepareAE students for professional life. The results from annual internal reviews were documented inpreparation for a program review by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) in addition to the results from alumni surveys. These results indicated that AEgraduates required more intensive and timely preparation in two primary areas: application andcommunication.The impetus for a more application-based curriculum came from a change in faculty at the DetailDesign level. The new design faculty had many years of industrial and managerial experienceprior to joining the ERAU staff and understood that typical undergraduate training does
168 Iterative Design of Complex Systems Lavanya Kumari National University, San Diego, CAAbstractWith recent advancements in technology and increasing demands of customers, today’s softwaresystems are more complex than ever. The complexity comes from difficult functionalrequirements, and from demanding non-functional requirements, such as very high availability,user friendliness, fast performance, and challenging security requirements24.We are reaching thepoint of not being able to manage, design and develop our systems.

This curriculum may be considered ideal for a design and manufacturing-orientedprogram. It was developed with comprehensive resource support through grants from the NationalScience Foundation (NSF), Sandia National Laboratories, and the federal Technology ReinvestmentProgram. The Learning Factory model was considered well-conceived and successful, as evidencedby its implementation in the engineering curricula of a number of

These seven types of AM processes are VatPhotopolymerization, Material Jetting, Binder Jetting, Material Extrusion, Powder Bed Fusion,Sheet Lamination, and Direct Energy Deposition.2Since its inception, AM has been used as a tool to facilitate engineering education and as afocused topic within design education. More recently, AM has become the central topic ofindividual courses within both engineering and engineering technology programs.As a

Overall, 53%, of these studies are predominantly focused on science, technology,engineering, and math (STEM) [4]. This distribution reveals that a large degree of feasibility isplaced on subjects where the application of knowledge is the primary focus. Topics such associal sciences are not detailed as a category in this list, whereas the application of gamificationin every listed category is simple to determine [5].While a majority of gamification studies and work has focused on STEM fields [4], relativelylittle has been applied to power engineering education [6] and these

First, the geometry of the simulator will be mathematicallyanalyzed and defined by the students, which will enable optimal geometries to be solved for tomaximize certain ranges of motion. Then, the dynamics of the system will be simulated usingMATLAB's Simulink technology to confirm the simulator's theoretical dynamic performance,verify the ranges of motion from the students' mathematical analysis, and provide the necessaryspecifications for the motors. Furthermore, structural analysis with SolidWorks will be used tocalculate the factor of safety of the system, which will help properly size the rotary

The faculty decided that the first microprocessorcourse should focus on small microcontrollers, low-level programming, and basic hardwareinterfacing – much of the technical subject concepts of the course described in [1] and [2].With fundamental embedded systems content being taught in the junior level course, the seniorlevel embedded systems course is free to concentrate more on system concepts and integrationissues that are more common in engineering practice and industry. The abstract system issues arebetter suited to the team-based design and industry-based standards described in [1
