The resultsof the sensitivity analyses usually come as great surprises to the students. In particular, theeffects of receivables and inventory are usually seen to have great impact on profitability.Economics - Engineering Integration: It is after the sensitivity analyses are completed thatthe business economics and engineering design functions become integrated in the minds ofthe students. For the items of greatest sensitivity, the students are asked to indicate what theengineering implication of the particularly sensitivity is. For example, when

In manufacturing practice we must consider many aspects to a problem; whereas ineducation we often explore one topic at a time.

We seeintroductory-level engineering courses as having the potential to play a critical role atuniversities like ours that serve a large percentage of such students. With this purpose in mind,we redesigned an introductory chemical engineering course at a research university that isminority-serving. Participants included students enrolled in two sections of the original course(n=117) and one section of the redesigned course (n=53). Data include pre/post surveys ofstudent beliefs about design and interviews. We coded student responses and interviews tounderstand how they perceived the original and redesigned course.

The goal of the course is to enable thestudents to identify the appropriate joining technique to join two materials for a givenapplication. This involves not only analyzing the functional requirements of the joined apparatus,but considering cost associated with a current or potential joining process and the potentialbenefit of a change-over. The former involves synthesizing knowledge learned in fundamentalengineering courses (e.g., statics/strengths, thermal sciences, and engineering materials), thelatter requires the non-technical skills required of engineering graduates9 (e.g., communication,business).A brief comparison between two welding processes and a soldering

In seven of the 11 institutions, test scorewas not found to be a significant predictor of six-year engineering graduation forunderrepresented minority students.

With this increase in the size of theAmerican elderly population, society must examine carefully ways to improve the qualityof life for this population and their caretakers. Designing products and services createdwith the specific needs of this demographic in mind is a complex, multi-disciplinarychallenge.

They state that only 20% of thebachelor recipients are women and less than 12% were minorities in 2001. They challenge theengineering schools to produce more minority engineers, which will hopefully lead to moreminority faculty.In the April 2002 edition of Prism, Representative Vernon Ehlers, (R-MI), also makes a case forincreasing the diversity in engineering. 3 He states:Diversity is essential in engineering
