The EF1015 syllabus includes an introduction tothe profession, examination of ethics and ethical theories, traditional pencil-and-paper problemsolving techniques, algorithm development and graphing. These skills are then translated tocomputer solutions, currently via MATLABTM.EF 1016 addresses traditional engineering graphics and computer graphics, with one desiredoutcome an enhanced ability to visualize in three dimensions. This year, Virginia Tech is usingAutodesk's Mechanical Desktop Release 6.0. We intend to introduce NC milling into theEF1016 course this semester.

In addition to ABET accreditation criteria 3(a-k)requirements, the Mechanical Engineering (ME) program at Alabama A&M University (AAMU)was designed to meet additional requirements by American Society of Mechanical Engineer,such as (l) an ability to apply advanced mathematics through multivariable calculus, anddifferential equations; (m) a familiarity with statics, linear algebra and reliability; (n) an ability towork professionally in both thermal and mechanical

A locally developedhandbook and "Introduction to Engineering" by Wright were used as required texts. Two hourhands-on sessions were devoted to topics like word processing, spreadsheets, electronic mail,curve fitting, matrix algebra, etc. Some evening sessions were held during which a half of thefreshmen class (per session) attended

These two courses also help place the thesis project in a largercontext by exploring the cultural assumptions underpinning technologicalinnovation as well as the ethical dimensions of professional engineering practice.Specifically, the undergraduate thesis challenges the students to use engineeringexpertise to solve a real need. In the context of the solar decathlon, theundergraduate thesis project treats the building of a solar home as a case study[5], requiring the students to: · communicate technical information to a broad audience of experts and non-experts · investigate the conventions that have shaped home building technology · · think

they would be evaluating each other for their contribution tothe design process, and that project grades would change subject to contribution.Design project performance was evaluated by peer design evaluations and design reportassessment. The weights of these assessments were 25%, and 75% respectively. Peer designevaluations were done during the in-class design competition. While a team was presenting,remaining teams evaluated their design. It was observed that students took evaluating peers veryseriously, hence a meaningful design discussion after every presentation surfaced. During thispeer evaluation and peer critiquing time, integrity and ethics were strongly emphasized.Despite the fact that most students received the competition

The students were thengiven time to ask questions regarding their specific project, and achieved input on the construction andoperation of the project as the students have designed.At the UofA, each student group was assigned a different project and each team met many times with thepracticing engineer who designed the real project. The initial meeting was an orientation and datagathering meeting. Subsequent meetings were requested by the design team as deemed necessary by theteam. These meetings were held at the practicing engineer’s office as their schedule allowed.Mid-Design ReviewAs with many design firms, the students were required
