Weanticipate being able to introduce the students to several useful computer applications, includingPOLYMATH, Aspen, PRO/II, MathCad, and Matlab. The goal is to teach the basics of each ofthese programs to the students so that later, when they need to use these programs in their otherchemical engineering courses, the instructors will not need to spend time covering the basic use Page 6.606.6of each program.

opportunities to solve engineeringproblems in a laboratory with sophisticated engineering tools and thus develop an appreciationfor the engineering profession. The contact of community college engineering students with theengineering profession is often even more meager.Engineering programs at two-year institutionsNearly forty percent of engineers who graduated between 1999-2000 attended a communitycollege at some point during their studies[7]. Despite this broad contribution of communitycolleges in our engineering education system, the equipment and financial resources available tothese two-year undergraduate institutions remain considerably less than that of their four yearinstitution counterparts. In addition, due to the lack of resources or time

thecharacter and scope of the mechanical engineering profession. It is put forward in this paper thatstudents who understand the scope of their major are more likely to have a stronger belief in thecorrectness of their choice, thus resulting in fewer transfers out of the program. Through designof appropriate self-discovery laboratories, it is also hypothesized that freshmen students willdevelop a relational understanding between fundamental courses (i.e., physics, chemistry andmath) and future curricula. This is important as many engineering students transfer out of theprogram before reaching upper level courses.This paper will discuss the development and implementation of hands-on activities for freshmenstudents in the Mechanical Engineering (ME

This is particularly relevant when such a power MOSFET is driven at 0-5VTTL level the gate voltages provided by microprocessors in digital control applications andPWM based DC motor driver circuits, examples of which were mentioned above. That is why anin-house capability is needed to measure the I-V characteristics of these devices. Unfortunatelythe high cost of power semiconductor test equipment comprised of multiple units of PowerSMUs [8, 9] is prohibitively high to have in a small design company, an R&D laboratory, or auniversity teaching/design laboratory.

Our assessment of student outcomes shows thatstudents enrolled online have achieved the outcomes related to the laboratory exercises. Wehave engaged an external proctoring company to independently verify and monitor the academicintegrity of the online exam process.Another challenge is acceptance of online delivery among our constituencies.

At the graduate level this validationstep is often excluded, so students end up with the skills to build complex models, but never to setup realistic experimental conditions and accurate data acquisition systems to test these models.Our goal was to provide the educational structure to teach the integration of the two disciplines,but to also take it a step further and have the exemplar
