Some of the skills that these graduates lack are effectivecommunication and teamwork, both skills being of high value and importance in a job setting forengineers that have to work closely and collaboratively with fellow co-workers [1]. Whiletechnical expertise and knowledge have profound impacts on the skills employers look for whenhiring graduates, recently employers have started emphasizing the importance of skills such asintegrity, communication, and flexibility. The emergence of these skills is a result of theeconomic shift from an industrial to an information society [2]. This

Session 1639 Using Multimedia in an Engineering Economy Course Pui-Mun Lee, William G.

The interactive multimedia course material was developed over aperiod of two years and was used to support a National Science Foundation research project aimed atenhancing the undergraduate engineering curriculum through innovative
often includes an introduction of forces in a physics course based on mechanics,followed by a course on statics (and dynamics), a course on mechanics (or strength) of materialsand then a course in mechanical behavior of materials. For students in materials engineering thecourse on mechanical behavior of materials takes place during undergraduate studies, forstudents in other engineering disciplines this course may be taken as a senior elective or ingraduate school. The foundations leading to this upper level coursework have remainedessentially unchanged for the last thirty to forty years. Although efforts have been made toevaluate and improve courses in statics, mechanics and mechanical behavior or materials, thecoordination of these pieces
