communicationskills; (3) Incorporate the skill oriented tusks, such as analysis and interpretation of experimental dat+ intodesign projects. Essential skills taught in the freshman engineering course are: graphical presentationincluding sketching and solid modeling, use of engineering principles with physics and math for analysis,construction and testing of working prototypes, and documentation of the solution. Students are alsoinstructed on how to manage their projects and work in teams. This paper discusses the challenges and opportunities that are involved in instituting a design-drivenfreshman curriculum at a large university.

Assessment of a Web-based Information Literacy Program for Industrial Engineers Beth A. Smith, Asst. Prof., Larry Whitman, Asst. Prof. Wichita State UniversityAbstract Industrial engineering students require three distinct “types” of information. The firsttype is the subject knowledge traditionally taught through lectures and textbooks. The secondtype is in the use of software tools. The third type is locating and critically analyzing engineeringliterature. Most engineering curricula minimize formal classroom time to teach skills in
havestudents achieve competency in business practices equivalent to the proficiencies realized inengineering subject areas. One method for achieving this is to ask students to respond to"Request for Proposal" (RFPs) in which inter- and multi-discipline design teams "compete" withalternate solutions. Corporate representatives provide realistic scenarios through activeparticipation in such courses. These "clients" require the students to use realistic projectmanagement tools and reinforce planning and economic aspects of a design without neglectingthe technical aspects of the project. While such approaches have proven successful, they neglectan important element of leadership development - the "entrepreneurial" aspect. To this end, wedescribe an
assessment. The third phase will integrate the material into other courses ineach of the school’s engineering disciplines by developing and making available (via the web) anEngineering Economic Analysis Template. In this paper, we will report on the current results ofthis project and propose that a similar project can be extended to other engineering schools acrossthe country.IntroductionEngineering economic analysis is a core engineering competency that plays a vital role in decisionsmade by engineers. This body of knowledge is currently not well integrated into the engineeringcurriculum at many schools and is predominantly taught as a separate course in isolation fromother courses in which the concepts can (and should) be applied.In the School of

Lutes Purdue University, West Lafayette, IndianaAbstract:On-Line laboratory report submission has drastically improved both student and facultysatisfaction in a mechanics course.

the 16-bit HCS12 with the hope that customers will migrate their low-end and high-end applications of the 68HC11 to these microcontrollers, respectively. Onthe other hand, 8-bit microcontrollers from other vendors also gain significant marketshare in the last few years. The Microchip 8-bit microcontrollers are among the mostpopular microcontrollers in use today. In addition to the SPI, USART, timer functions,and A/D converter available in the 68HC11 [6], the PIC microcontrollers from Microchipalso provide peripheral functions such as CAN, I2C, and PWM. The controller-area-network (CAN) has been widely used in automotive and process control applications.The Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) has been widely used in interfacing peripheral chips
