In our meetings with potential recruiters, including major consultingfirms, transportation companies, financial firms, health care providers, and manufacturers, it isclear that employers seek out IEs for their quantitative tools (probability

Russell The Pennsylvania State University at Erie The Behrend CollegeAbstract The Baccalaureate Electrical Engineering Technology program at Penn State University at Erie, TheBehrend College, offers a two-semester course sequence in communication systems. The first course isintended to introduce the fundamentals of analog communication systems, while the second course is intendedto introduce the more
motivated many engineering management educators to examine the use of CL techniques instead of the traditional lecture approach to teaching engineering courses. However, the true challenge is how to apply these techniques. The majority of the literature deals with theories and principles rather than application; what examples are included have tended to be drawn from other fields. Thus, engineering management educators who desire to incorporate these techniques are faced with a challenge; which is how to apply them, while minimizing the associated time demands and addressing students’ resistance to change. Cooperative learning has been defined as using of small groups of students working together to maximize each

-conferences, on-line real-time “talk” and other “hot media.” While the formal engineering reportcontinues to be important, new media offer real advantages: In global market environments and in flattenedorganizational structures, efficient and coordinated decisions are essential to technical productivity. Skilled useof electronic media by engineers can be fostered by supporting oral communications in the engineeringcurriculum. Teaching the videotaped job interview is described as one such opportunity. A critical feature of thatassignment is the high motivation that students bring to the task because they understand the potential forimmediate benefits.1 Introduction In a recent assessment of existing instruction in communications, the School of

Although crude measuringtechniques are used at home, comparison between theoretical and experimental results is usually satisfactory. A key feature of the experiments is that they are simple and easy to carry out, requiring approximately one hour toperform. Aside from enhancing students’ comprehension of theoretical concepts, they provide opportunities for hands-onexperience-, encourage resourcefulness and raise questions about accuracy, approximations, assumptions and

The simple impact experiment consists of a falling rigid projectile
alternative tostudying the formal solutions is to examine the solutions of such problems by numerical methods. The authorshave found MATLAB particularly attractive for the solution of such problems because of the ease with whichlinear algebra problems are solved and displayed in that computing environment.Introduction Physical systems governed by partial differential equations have become a part of most undergraduateengineering curricula although many of these curricula do not require formal mathematical training in such topics.Typical subject matter with such content includes vibrations, acoustics, transport phenomena andelectromagnetic theory. Students without formal mathematical training in partial differential equations are almosthelpless

It signifies to prospective students and the public that graduates have achievedan expected level of competence in their fields of study and, thus, acts as a form of consumerprotection.

High cycle fatigue failures(millions of cycles) can occur with surprisingly low loads. In many industries, equipment issubject to hundreds of millions or billions of cycles and fatigue failures are a constant problem.Demonstrating high cycle fatigue in the limits of the classroom is very
