IntroductionMost engineering professors understand that a design paradigm shift has occurred in recent yearswherein product performance issues are overshadowed by manufacturing and cost issues.Practical matters are paramount. As might be expected, the various engineering disciplines havebeen impacted to varying degrees. In the systems and controls area, the design paradigm shiftemphasizes the need for students to understand the practical issues (such as modeling andimplementation) associated with control system design. In the past, these practical issues havebeen the forte of mechanical, chemical, and aerospace engineering

An important feature is that students admitted to the Programlive together in an incubator-like residence hall where they can freely exchange ideas with like-minded students. Living and learning together, these students are provided with a uniqueopportunity to interact with their fellow CEOs. This environment has the potential to impact theway the CEOs think about their careers, their destinies, and their ability to start businesses rightout of school.1.

IntroductionStructural Engineering is a discipline concerned with the design of buildings, bridges, and othertypes of structures whose primary function is to carry loadings. Like all engineering disciplines,it requires a balance of skills; mixing art and science. Strong analytical capabilities are essential,but so is a good intuitive sense of how structures behave. These skills are becoming particularlymore crucial with the increasing use of computers that is now
