learning is explained by Bonwell and Eison as, the students “are doingthings and thinking about what they are doing”.1To accomplish this, a group of Engineering Technology students were challenged to apply thelean manufacturing concepts learned in class to a pre-designed production simulation. Thesimulation, “Wagons R Us”, required the students to assemble wagons using K’NEX plasticcomponents as their raw materials.The simulation begins by having students participate in and observe an extreme case of atraditional production system. According to Dr. Ann Stalheim-Smith, “active learning is not aspectator sport”.2 Therefore, the exercise required each student to actively participate. Studentswere divided into teams, given the constraints of the

During fall 2004, the class wasdivided into four design groups with the mission of each group being to demonstrate thedifference in exhaust emissions comparing old and new technology devices for one of thefollowing devices: chainsaws, weed trimmers, leaf blowers, and lawn mowers. Both fourand two stroke internal combustion engines, some with catalytic converters, wereincluded in the comparative testing project. This effort was related to EPA requiring thatthe Chattanooga area begin tailpipe emission certifications in 2005.Generally speaking, graduating student responses show that the design project is mostbeneficial in that it enables the students to see how their college experience can be usedin

As has been widely quoted, thebusiness of business is business. Leaders of technology-based firms should have technicalcompetence and business savvy. There have been notable cases of engineers who have risen tothe top of major corporations. In recent history, Jack Welch, Andy Grove and Lou Gerstner arewidely known as engineers who have leveraged their technical capabilities while also clearlysucceeding in business. There are unfortunately many more counterexamples of engineers whohave entered corporations with strong technical capabilities and interest in promotion within thecorporation, but who have

Occasionally the second project is in the public sector. Documentation ofthe second project is now web based.In hindsight, the changes seem to have happened slowly but they have been far reaching andgraphics is now only about 15% of the course with perhaps 20% devoted to CAD. Of what hasbeen lost, there are a few casualties that stir second thoughts. The lab-based curriculum used tobe rather more extensive and it is hard to give up any of that.
