of a national science policy forscientific research. 5The United States has not had a coherent policy during the last several decades for the graduatedevelopment of its domestic engineering graduates in the U.S. engineering workforce. These areengineers whose professional careers are not centered on academic scientific research, but ratherare centered on creating, developing, and innovating new, improved, and breakthroughtechnology in industry for competitiveness and the nation’s defense. (See Appendix G)Whereas the nation invested heavily during the 1960’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s in the graduateeducation of the U.S. scientific workforce for basic academic research, we have not as a nationplaced a balanced emphasis in the further professional

A tool can be akitchen, gardening, wood or metal working tool. A consumer product may be a tablelamp, broom, trashcan, a musical instrument, a toy etc. A detailed project report is to bewritten and a presentation is to be made based on the project work at the end of the term.Background: The course is delivered with an interdisciplinary approach. Engineeringstudents will form groups with students enrolled in Media Art (ARTM 3307 course) andMarketing (MARK 3700 course) departments.

, and farther from their day-to-day needs. Eventhough each individual house may have increased insulation, better windows, and high efficiencyheating and cooling systems, the total energy use goes up because of the larger size, greaternumber of electrical gadgets, and farther travel distances. More generally, this tendency forincreases in efficiency to lead to greater energy use is called the Jevons Paradox.2 These trendsare illustrated in Fig. 1. House size increased slowly through the 1980’s and then more rapidly inthe 1990’s and 2000’s. Because housing codes and building practices generally improved theefficiency of houses with time, the energy use per square foot steadily declined.

The learning style assessment gave the students a numeric indicator for theirlearning preference in each category, over a range from -11 (extreme to one side), to +11(extreme to the other side). Using this information the course and lab instructors assigned elevengroups with 3-5 students in each. Groups were assigned such that they had a roughly equalrepresentation of gender and majors and had an “average” learning style for each group that wasbalanced within each of the four categories.

forthe following discussion on the three great challenges of the past thirty years and the responsesobserved thereto.1983: The issue of a distinctive curricular identity for manufacturing engineering was firstopenly and cohesively articulated in the early 1980’s. The founding of the ManufacturingConstituent Committee at the ASEE conference at Southern California in 1981 was one of thecritical milestones. Another occurred at the ASEE conference in Salt Lake City in 1983, whenover coffee during a break in the sessions, the notion of a workshop to explore curricular identitywas first broached. The question formulated at that time was as direct as it was simple: “If youwant to teach someone to be a manufacturing engineer, what do you teach?” The
