Once the designs were Page 26.1415.10complete, reviewed, and revised, manufacturing prints were created and the students eitherworked with vendors contracted to produce the parts or manufactured the parts themselves in themachine shop. A second example is the electrical and control system where students specifiedcomponents, created electrical prints, designed and prototyped the electrical panels, worked withthe supplier to produce the final electrical panels and cabinets, and programmed the systemcontroller.5.2 Outcome B: An Ability to Design and Conduct Experiments, as Well as Analyze and Interpret Data22The participating students

Another goal is to provide opportunities for hands-on experimentation withsystems that reflect professional practice. To achieve these goals, the ME151 course wasredesigned to incorporate a significant laboratory component. 7 These laboratory sessions exposestudents to practical applications of process control using two educational rigs from FeedbackInstruments. A level-flow rig allows students to control the flow of water or the level of a tank,while a temperature rig, shown in Fig. 1(b), allows students to control temperature by actuatingservo valves that regulate primary and secondary flows through a heat exchanger.

step of the committee was to conduct an assessment of course models at otheruniversities using the methodologies described in [1-5] as guidance to help design a program thatwould work for our students. As the committee looked at different curriculum models for thefirst-year programs there was a focus on peer and peer aspirant institutions, especially those withsimilar size and student body makeup. The factors that the committee looked at were: a. How program models align with our strategic goals b. How program models scale and their cost to operate c. How the program would work for OUR first year student cohort with its diversity and mix of residential and non-residential students. The

Scenario II: In this second scenario, a virtual video lecture was administered to the students in a subject obligatory to all engineers, all basic Science classes in a Computer Science Course with an explanation of a theme of medium complexity, all in the form of a video in which the student could follow the material via power point slides. The theme of the class was the area of complex networks and the class evaluated in this example dealt with modeling

More than likely, theDean’s Office may not have all of the updated email addresses for former students on file.Subsequent distributions of the survey may more heavily use social media such as LinkedIn andFacebook to attempt to reach more respondents. As this was a pilot study, the data collected onskills and application of experience can be used to formulate more specific questions for the nextsurvey. With more response data, one can attempt to answer the question of the Living Lab andjob success.References[1] Holtsnider, B., and Jaffe, B. (2012).

reinforced. The revision in 2011 aligned the program withthe current educative model of the UANL11, which is based on: (a) Learning-centered education(b) Competencies-based education, (c) Flexibility, (d) Internationalization and (e) Academicinnovation. This model aims at promoting the transition from a traditional knowledge-orientedapproach to a methodology that seeks the development of skills and competencies, the curriculumflexibility is reinforced, the internationalization processes are taken into account as well as thestudent exchange and mobility. The current version of the program consist of a total of 220credits distributed in 10 semesters. According to both the Educative and Academic Model of theUANL, one credit is equivalent to 30 hours of
