Design for Manufacturability (DfM): Design for Manufacturability, also known as Design for Manufacturing is a principle that enables in efficient design and engineering of a product for facilitating cost efficient manufacturing processes. The design phase is given a high importance here to reduce an inherent reengineering cost after designs freeze stage. 3.

Table 1 contains information regarding the study parameters and thethree instructors (listed as A, B, C) associated with each course included in this semester. Foreach of the courses in this study, there are typically 3-4 exams each semester, approximately 20-25 homework assignments and 8-10 quizzes. Average enrollment for ENGR prefix classes isapproximately 20 students per section. For CE prefix
state licensing board.ASCE’s aspirational education levels (B + M/30) have been defined by the BOK2 outcomes. [37]These two driving forces are not currently in alignment because they establish two differenteducation and knowledge levels for the profession.As the discussion continues over how to implement BOK2 criteria into civil engineeringcurriculums, it is important to note that neither version of the BOK has a direct licensureoutcome. The description of BOK2 outcome 24, “Professional and Ethical Responsibility,”broadly refers to licensure, but it does not include the important components of licensure statutesand regulations such as the reasons for licensure, how the “practice of engineering” is defined,and the use of the engineer’s seal.

Wentworth get a first-rate undergraduate education, as well as a minimum of twosemesters working in a co-op, student feedback often includes being under-prepared for graduateschool. To fix this deficiency among the electrical and computer Engineering and computerscience and networking majors, a consortium of faculty designed, executed, and evaluated a seriesof extra-curricular graduate school seminars to (a) gauge student interest in graduate school, (b)prepare students for the graduate school application process, and (c) inform students of theiroptions for graduate degrees and programs.This work-in-progress shares data and lessons-learned from the first round of seminars: wedescribe their organization and proceedings, as well as the results of

Hour-long, semi-structured interviews were conducted with twentyengineering undergraduate students near the end of their fourth year of college. These studentswere attending five different universities and pursuing six different majors (primarily mechanicaland civil engineering). Student responses, while unique to their personal situation, fell into fourcategories regarding their visions for a future ideal engineering career: (A) helping people andsociety was the most important component to their future engineering career; (B) helping peopleand improving society was

Lastly, to cap off Year 2 activities, students also had theopportunity to attend a one-week summer camp. The second offering of the camp includedcollaborating with the College of Education at UL Lafayette. The morning portion of the campfocused on hands-on, math-based activities, while the afternoon portion of the camp focused onhands-on engineering-based activities. Year 3 activities mirrored those from Year 2. The lead author gave roughly the samenumber of presentations, but focused more on college awareness and how education can lead toimproved quality of life.
