Over 90 million people in the U.S. over the age of 6 are frequent exercisers orparticipants in recreational sports. A clear majority of the population (68% or 170 millionpeople) participated at least once in any of the sports/activities monitored by ASD.[1] Due to thepopularity of sports, studying technology and its effect on sports is a good way to teach basictheories but also a way to allow students to bring their designs to the marketplace. “Studyingsome of the dynamic effects contained in sports, we can introduce all

In fact, it reinforces thegoals of accreditation; of the eleven criteria required under ABET Criterion 3, stating therequirements for engineering graduates, IP knowledge would be included in seven, including “anability to design,” “a knowledge of contemporary issues,” and “an understanding of professionaland ethical responsibility.” IP encompasses design and identifies the latest contemporary issuesassociated with engineering. More importantly, it is an engineer’s professional and ethicalresponsibility to research claims prior to publication or use. Also, it the engineering educator’sresponsibility to teach future engineers how to protect his or her rights of creation. For example
