technical education program is to develop skillsets in students that allow them to be competitive in the job market; this is especially true fornew emerging technologies. As companies find new modes to compete in the global market, theyare always looking for a niche which will enable them to produce high quality products.Currently, there is a group of manufacturing companies in the Rockford, Illinois area thatmanufactures complex micro-machined parts with very tight tolerances and features. In order tomove into this new micromachining area, the companies had to overcome two related issues. Thefirst is how one can obtain low-cost, yet highly accurate micromachining equipment, and thesecond is finding skilled personnel to operate these new generation

We havecreated professional development training materials on topics associated with auxiliary designskills for students within this design course series. Topics include working in teams, interactingwith clients, presentation skills, design ethics and regulations, and global design. The trainingmaterials consist of an online video archive of experts speaking on such topics and associatedactive learning exercises. Using online, pre-recorded expert lectures makes class time availablefor conducting the active learning exercises, including working on design projects.

How can students solve difficult open-ended engineering problems before they’ve actually learned some of the engineering they need toknow in order to solve them? The application of deep "learning by doing" practices early in thecurriculum may have limitations.BackgroundOver the past four years we developed, taught, and assessed a new curriculum for our sophomorechemical engineering courses.
