is required in nearly every technical profession.1,2,3,4,5 In addition, theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) mandates teamwork in Criterion3.d. of the Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs.6One common method of implementing teamwork in an academic setting is to assign a project to agroup of students. The students complete the project, submit the work for evaluation, andeveryone on the team receives the same grade at assessment time. The primary problems with thisscenario are twofold. First, the skills required for teamwork are never actually taught. The workof the team is just “expected”. Secondly, everyone on the team receives the same grade eventhough the work was undoubtedly not accomplished equally by each

trivial. In the spring term of 1997, seven individuals were involved in Introductionto Aerospace Engineering and Design. Typically, a Professor, Technical Instructor, and possibly astudent Teaching Assistant would be required to offer the course, but during the development ofthe Web-based curriculum two graduate students and three undergraduate students were hired asteaching assistants or hourly workers to assist with course implementation. The work opportunityis beneficial to students and enhances their knowledge of course material by being activelyinvolved in the presentation and delivery of the curriculum. Introduction to Aerospace and Design investigates the new opportunities offered by informa-tion technology for education and provides
version.IntroductionIn the United States today, there is great interest in the education and graduation of morestudents in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines.1,2There are two primary tasks that are needed for this goal to be accomplished. First, morestudents need to be attracted to pursue college-level studies in the STEM fields. Second, oncethose students are attracted to a STEM field, the colleges and universities must provide anattractive, nurturing environment designed to allow a wide range of students to succeed, whilestill providing a rigorous education.The College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS) at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) has generally been able to attract as many students into its

Wethen hired two undergraduates to assist our graduate student, a female Hispanic majoring inelectronic engineering technology and a male mechanical engineering technology student.Another female GIS major was hired to help with system installation and testing. A secondfemale Hispanic geographic information sciences undergraduate student as well as a Hispanicmale and two anglo males majoring in geomatics were hired to map out geo-referencing andground control points for testing. These students managed the development and implementationto the first test.As students graduated we hired two additional male students a graduate computer science majorand an

Methods todevelop students’ awareness of iteration beyond introducing iteration in different design modelsare lacking in engineering education in general, and in aerospace engineering education inparticular. One of the challenges being faced by faculty in the field of aeronautics andastronautics is teaching space systems design and engineering in an effective way. Unliketraditional engineering fields, including the closely related field of aeronautics, teaching spacesystems design and engineering is difficult because of the lack of opportunities to go through anentire cycle from system conception to system

One result of sucha pedagogical approach often leads to an attitude that the course is nothing more than frustratingexercises in formula manipulation and that much of the material studied is marginally useful atbest. This paper offers an alternative to this classic approach by describing an outline for setting-up a computer laboratory component within a typical introductory dynamics course in theMechanical Engineering Technology curriculum. Sample assignments, as well as examples oftutorials handed to the students, will also be presented.IntroductionCourses in Mechanics consist of Statics, Particle Kinematics and Kinetics of Particles and RigidBodies.
