That environment consists of
.ABSTRACTConstruction courses in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at thePennsylvania State University focus on the subjects of planning, organization, monitoring andcontrol of the construction projects. There is currently a scarcity of information relating to ethicalconduct in these courses. Government regulations, environmental permits, and other bureaucraticcontrols continue to grow. Projects also continue to get larger and more technical, requiring morespecialized people, high-tech equipment, and better project control systems. This trend requiresthat project managers have technical, business, organizational, ethical, and leadership savvy.Many new regulations and specifications (for example, those of OSHA and ACI) requireconstruction

The exponential growth in the telecommunications industry and informationtechnology has created a great demand for skilled graduates who can quickly adapt intothis continually-changing technological industry. This demand quickly inspired similargrowth in the curricular design supporting the requirements of this changing industrythroughout all levels of education. Moreover, corporations today are increasinglydependent on educational institutes to prepare their graduates in readiness and awarenessof the fast growing technology in order that the budget in training can be converted intoprofit.A new program in Computer Engineering Technology (CpET) was recently approved atIUPUI to be offered by the Department of Electrical and

In the United States, one of the most important components of this driving forceis the manufacturing of semiconductors in fabrication facilities (FAB). Not surprisingly,tremendous efforts have been expended to reduce the art of semiconductor manufacturing to ascience.While the improvements in scale and yield of semiconductor manufacturing has beenspectacular and are well known, the improvement in operational methods of process flow

The VaNTH engineering faculty recognize that courses shouldembed the subject matter in a practical context, foster the development of practical skills such asoral and written communication and teamwork, as well as teach the underlying scientificprinciples. The reason for embedding learning in context is based on a theoretical as well aspractical stance.

to functionglobally. This is especially true for engineers. Working individually or in small groups within acorporation is not how engineering is conducted in the 21st century. From design, to prototypingto production requires many of today’s engineers to work across the continent or around theglobe. “Cultural diversity is a fact of professional life. Engineers are being employed in ever greater numbers by multinational and transnational corporations and are routinely working across national and cultural boundaries. Engineering projects may take them, for varying periods of time, out into the field--which might be any corner of the globe--or into design workshops, laboratories or head offices which may also be

engineering technology students, however, do nottypically get exposed to more in-depth courses of vibration and modal analysis. To assistmechanical engineering technology students into concepts of vibration and modal analysis in amanufacturing environment, FE modeling serves as an excellent learning tool. An FE model ofan extended long milling cutter enables students to visualize the properties of a vibrating systemand relate the natural frequencies back to spindle speed. Forced vibration models help themunderstand the resulting cutter displacements from the input force excitation. Modal analysis andforced vibration exposure help students understand the characteristics of vibration and how tomitigate this undesirable effect from traditional machining
