Additionally, a university can serve as arepository of knowledge, which extends beyond the life of an industrial contractual relationship.This paper presents methods on how to implement into an aerospace engineering or spacephysics curriculum the knowledge and foundation needed to understand space debris problems,and by extension many interdisciplinary problems and other areas of science and technology.1. Astronautics Courses & Space Debris EducationThe topic of space debris affects three of ERAU’s major programs in Prescott, AZ.

An existing product was modified by adding data acquisition, concrete testing, andbuilding load apparatus. The result is a compact, self-contained, tabletop unit that is flexibleenough to be used in several different courses at varying levels of engineering education. Thispaper describes how this system can be effectively used in a civil engineering curriculum.I.

increasingmetallurgical/materials design complexity of everyday material systems as a function oftime. Fracture mechanics infers that a structural component is only as strong as its largestdefect. However, with the advancements of materials and manufacturing technologies,achievable mechanical strengths are higher and defect conditions are smaller. High-strength maraging steels that approach about 25% of the theoretical strength of acrystalline solid have critical flaw sizes under reasonable service loads of the order offour microns. Flaw sizes of this magnitude are below the detection resolution limits ofconventional NDE. This situation represents a difficult dilemma!Also, materials engineers need to prioritize fracture toughness in the design of

From the instructor’s prospective, the approaches improved the quality of laboratoryeducation because they help nurture student creativity, raise their enthusiasm in learning, and deepentheir understanding of laboratory material. At the same time, the goal of integrating design into thelab course was also achieved.REFERENCES1) Criteria for Accrediting Programs in Engineering in the United States, 1995-96 Accreditation Cycle, AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology, Inc., Baltimore, MD2) LabVIEW - Graphical Programming, Gary Johnson, McGraw Hill, 19943) Understanding Industrial Designed Experiments, S.R.

All three courses require a team project where students redesign an existing productwith composite or plastic materials. Students need to specify materials and processing methods,and evaluate the feasibility and the benefits of their redesign. The success and popularity of thesecourses has led the department to consider developing another elective course on designing withplastics.Although 644 is a Mechanical Engineering technical elective, a third of the course is devoted tothe materials science aspects of composites.
