from faculty, the 2001 ABET review, theMinority Engineering Program, industry, alumni, graduating seniors, and otherstakeholders, have sought to impart design concepts and related computational tools atthe lower division to improve student preparation for the senior design capstone courseand their future careers. These changes resulted in a mechanical design sequence ofcourses (shown in Figure 1) that comprise of the freshman orientation course ME101, theone-year sophomore design sequence ME286AB, the junior-level machine design courseME330, and a year of senior design. In this paper, this sequence will be referred to as thedesign-stem sequence. ME101 Intro ME286A ME286B ME330 ME486A/B to

Additional indirect assessments were obtained through student surveys and peerreviews. All assessment techniques indicated that the students met and exceeded both courseexpectations and the performance of other student groups enrolled in the capstone design course.Seeking Significant and Interesting Topics for Senior Capstone Design CoursesAs anyone who teaches and advises undergraduate senior capstone design courses will attest,seeking undergraduate topics with the appropriate amount of depth and design is an unending

In addition, the question was a poor discriminatorbetween students who did well on the instrument and those who did not, with adiscrimination index that was actually negative (-0.08). Because of this, the question wassignificantly revised in Phase 2, as shown below. Page 14.469.7Radiation Question: Phase 2A person walks toward two diffuse grey

profession and those who regulate the engineering profession, not ABET, to set the required body of knowledge. ABET cannot do what is beyond its scope of authority. Even if ABET could require universities to increase their credit requirements for a bachelor’s degree, the resulting five-year or longer bachelor’s programs would provide far less flexibility than B+M/30, at substantially greater cost to students, and would significantly increase the potential for decreased enrollments. It is difficult to create for any constituency a rationale as to why this would be preferable to the proposed B+M/30 requirements.6. What are some of the implications of these changes for engineering education in the US?First, it should be recognized that this

they have learned.A Proposed Workshop ModelThe issue of what should or should not be included in the soil mechanics curriculum (includingthe lab portion) has long been debated. Karl Terzaghi’s7 opening comments to the FirstInternational Conference of Soil Mechanics and Foundation Design contained a number ofimportant and challenging statements dealing with the teaching of soil mechanics—many ofthese issues are relevant today as they were in 1936.While it is beyond the scope of this paper to address these issues, it might be sufficient to quoteJ. B. Burland8 from his Nash lecture on his personal view on the teaching of soil mechanics whostrongly suggested that the profession reread Terzaghi’s comments on the teaching of soilmechanics and cited

The material stockpilingsimulation required each participant to operate the wheel loader to: a. excavate material from a rock stockpile, b. execute a three point turn by reversing from the stockpile while articulating and then proceed to the dumping zone while articulating in the opposite direction, c. dump the material into the dumping zone, d. reverse from the dumping zone, and e. stop the wheel loader and activate the hornThe operator’s view from the simulated equipment cab during the stockpiling operation is shownin Figure 3

It can be seen that different focusing depth corresponds to a different focal law.Figure 4(c) illustrates the steering operation which allows a single transducer to scan multipleangles compared to the single angle solution for the conventional ultrasonic technology.
