This new program resulted from transitioning anexisting program in Manufacturing Engineering Technology along with its option in CAD/CAM.This new program accepted its first class of students in 2014 and plans to graduate 24 engineersper year starting in 2017. As part of the development of the curriculum for this new program,faculty in the department focused heavily on the recommendations from the Curriculum 2015initiative conducted by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME).3-4 Its primary goal was toexamine the state of manufacturing education in the US and to develop a plan for revising andimproving it. Included in the sixteen recommendations were two that encouraged the furtherdevelopment of SME’s Four Pillars of Manufacturing, and its

The institute serves underrepresented minoritystudent population; nearly two-thirds of whom rely on Pell grants and more than 50% of themare first-generation college students. The institution’s struggle to retain general studentpopulation is evident from the following data: 78% retention from first to second semester, 66%retention from second to third semester, and the retention rate drops to 50% by the fourthsemester.The major goals of the project include: 1) Improve Engineering learning and learningenvironments

Technical communications training in the College of Engineering has been more or lessthe task of individual faculty members in discrete courses. Laboratory courses usually requirewritten and sometimes oral lab reports.

The instructor’s official role is that of a team facilitator. (The instructors alsohandle all the organizing, planning and grading for the class as well as serving in the roleof the client and consultant as needed.)

The 4.0 Plan is the only system that has been researched andproven to work if students will follow all of the steps of the program. The program is called“guaranteed” because Ms. Johnson has promised to give $100 to any student who follows herprogram completely and does not receive straight A’s. The most difficult part of the program isto get at least 8 hours of sleep every night. It is well known that adequate rest and a good dietare instrumental for the success of a student.

and keep their learningat the center of our teachings. Many instructional strategies are provided in the literature toreach students with various learning styles (Felder & Silverman, 1988; Felder, 1993). It is alsoimportant that we take student intellectual ability into account as we teach. For example, adistribution of student intellectual ability at Stanford is different as compared to a communitycollege. Correspondingly, instructional methods should consider these differences. However,being learner-centered does not mean being lenient. In fact, one of the NG Principles (#11) is toset appropriately high standards and have high expectations from students. Being learner-centered includes planning and delivering instruction such that
