Quality tools are generally taught as a series ofdiscrete nonintegrated units. Each tool’s use is taught separately from the other. Learning to use these tools inthis way is similar to someone trying to learn to speak a foreign language by memorizing a dictionary. Itrepresents an impossible task. The

AbstractOften, engineering departments are faced with the need to update laboratory exercises andequipment. However, adequate funds do not always exist to accomplish these upgrades in atimely manner. Another challenge faced by departments are satisfying Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) requirements for a major design experience within thecurriculum. ABET guidelines state, “Students must be prepared for engineering practice throughthe curriculum culminating in a major design experience based on the knowledge and skillsacquired in earlier course work and incorporating engineering standards and realistic constraintsthat include most of the following considerations: economic; environmental; sustainability;manufacturability; ethical

It isapparent that all areas of industry are changing to modern computer-based data-acquisition andcontrol systems.It is important that engineering and technology graduates obtain proficiency and confidence withmodern computer-based data-acquisition systems. According to Steve Lekas, Vice President ofNew Products at IOTech, companies no longer have fully staffed departments to develop testsystems and programs, hence technical employees need to “put their own test system together”[5].

This course aims tobridge the gap between two distinct areas of knowledge: the art and science of fluid mechanics.Designed for students with minimal to no background in photography or physics, this non-mathematical course provides an opportunity for students to explore a variety of aesthetic issuesthrough practical and creative assignments. The course consists of lectures on photography skills,fluid physics, visualization techniques, critique sessions, and a guest lecture. Assignments consistof images paired with written technical reports, and critique sessions. The primary objective ofthe course is "integrative thinking".
