Mandakolathur Department of Mechanical Engineering Lamar University, Beaumont, Texas 77710Introduction:Nanostructured materials have a significant fraction of the total atoms at their grain boundaries1,as their structure falls in between those of polycrystalline materials and amorphous materials. Inpolycrystalline materials most atoms are present within the grains and the grain boundariesconsist of relatively few atoms. In contrast, amorphous materials do not have grains orboundaries

This paper is apreliminary study of selected mechanical engineering programs to discern the impact of EC2000on curriculum development. Data on the layout and composition of mechanical engineeringcurricula for nine schools with Ph.D. programs and nine schools without Ph.D. programs ispresented. This research establishes a baseline for these mechanical engineering programs at thebeginning of EC2000 implementation. A follow-on study in two to three years is envisioned.This follow-on study will compare results and identify any significant changes in curricula as theEC2000 assessment process matures.I.

IntroductionUse of video-based training over the Internet is nothing new [1]. The only major hurdle is the workcreating the video materials. In our case we used the very popular Camtasia Studio from Techsmith [2]to capture video and audio of ourselves demonstrating the software. The majority of time is not takenup with recording, but rather with scripting the lessons (at least 100 hours scripting per recorded hour).One of the author's first experiences with video-based training was the creation of a home-grownvideo-based course on Mathcad. It was designed to solve the problem of teaching Mathcad

specifically in engineering, with respect to U.S. percentages of minority women.More discrepancies are found within the group of minority women as to recipients ofdegrees. The two largest groups within the set of U.S. minority women, Blacks andHispanics, are not the largest recipients of bachelor degrees, nor engineering degrees.Looking toward the future also shows a problem, minority females are not graduatingfrom high school in the same percentages as non-minority females. This, coupled with thefuture population predictions from the U.S. Census Bureau, indicates a bleak future forengineering. This paper will address all of the above items: the current U.S. populationand education figures, with emphasis on women; the trend of some minority groups
