There is to be no differentiation between lecture, recitation, andlaboratory. Projects and activities will be the vehicle of instruction as opposed to the standardlecture and separate laboratory. All activities associated with a course will be conducted in thesame room. The room will have computer terminals and equipment available for anyconstruction or assembly required for projects.

PRIDE approached these needs by first undertaking ageneral evaluation of manufacturing-related content already developed at all four colleges.Courses with a significant degree of technology content were then placed in "modules" of threeto seven related courses focused around a specific manufacturing skill, which could then beoffered as "PRIDE Certificates." The consortium could offer a very broad spectrummanufacturing courses and laboratories drawn from their collective curricula. Appropriatecourses were modularized into groups of three to

. Typical micro-machines are priced from $80,000 to well in excessof $200,000, depending on the usage and accessories that are required. This high cost places themachines outside of the budgets of many schools, small companies, and R & D laboratories. Inthis project, NIU engineering and technology researchers were given the task of developing anew generation of low-cost micro-machine (LCMM) which would be affordable and yet providethe required accuracies. It should be noted that the design engineers were given a time frame ofapproximately four months to outline, research, design, and construct the first generationLCMM. Below are the constraints that were placed upon the initial design: ≠ Material Costs - $12,000

of theircurriculum.In recent years, many studies have been presented on the effectiveness of using computationalmethods to enhance the teaching of heat transfer 1,2,3,4. Though numerical analysis is an integralpart of engineering education, it is largely agreed that simulation can not replace hands-onlearning5. As a result, there is an effort to establish laboratory work that supplements numerical Page 14.777.2investigations in the field 6.In both the numerical analysis and the experimental testing, students work in groups of two tofour students.

For this course, in-class time wasspent clarifying content from the modules and providing opportunities to apply the content toexamples, but a mechanism for having key questions answered while viewing would have helpedin understanding the content along the way. A web-based course discussion forum or messageboard was a suggested way to address this issue.Student feedback also indicated that developing a laboratory component to the course wouldincrease conceptual understanding. Many students talked of wanting “to work with their hands”,and to have the opportunity to actually see some of the systems discussed in the modules.Several suggested breaking larger modules into segments with class time between segments toexplore the concepts

Drawing from that study, this paper focusesupon the experiences of undergraduates and graduates presenting in industry and research,specifically highlighting how students have utilized the AE approach in such settings. This paperanalyzes the following three research questions: (1) Do students and recent graduates who learn the approach attempt to use it in professional settings?

education in AfghanistanModern education in Afghanistan has started at a very slow pace in early 1900s. However,the development of education in the country has made significant progress between 1960sand 1970s [1]. Understandably, the quality of education in SET subjects has not been verystrong due to the lack of suitably qualified academics and sufficient learning resources suchas laboratories, libraries and relevant industries. The establishment of SET education atuniversity level in the country was initially facilitated by foreign nations such as USA,Germany and then the former USSR. For instance, USA and Germany provided assistance tothe faculties of Engineering and Science at Kabul University while the Afghan governmentestablished Kabul

The course has a weekly lab session where studentsperform various materials testing such as tensile, shear, bending, and impact. The lecture portiondeals with the theories behind materials’ formation, bonding and how those relate to the materialproperties. In the recently added simulation module, students were assigned projects to simulatethe mechanical testing procedures performed in the lab. The simulations were done using
