During the first year, the systemincluded a special shock-absorbing screen with the projected image of a golf course.

However,due to the recent ABET requirements and other curriculum issues, many universities areconsidering to integrate these courses into a single one. In fact, a common recent trend [1] is toteach an integrated course, which includes concepts of statics and basic solid mechanics. Otherexamples include the integration of technical drawing and solid modeling, dynamics andintroductory vibrations, finite element analysis (FEA) and machine component design andsystem dynamics and

, Butterworth, South AfricaAbstractThis paper describes a cross-cultural engineering project involving students in high school andcollege. The primary objective was to inspire under-represented students to study engineering byhands-on experiences with electro-mechanical equipment. Another objective was to givestudents and faculty from the United States the opportunity to interact with colleagues in SouthAfrica. This was accomplished by installing a solar-powered refrigerator in a remote SouthAfrican village that did not have access to electric power. Students participated in all aspects ofthe project. After successful start-up of the refrigerator in a home, faculty at a South Africanuniversity agreed to maintain the refrigerator and monitor its ongoing

For the course associatedwith engineering design graphics, a semester-length team project has always been included.Students have performed in the typical manner – some cut an occasional class, some fail to payattention in class, cramming often occurs before tests and exams, and overall performance hasbeen mediocre.

The heart of engineeringeducation is to develop the ability to design, i.e. to engineer is to design. This includes thedesign of components, systems, products, and/or projects. Design cannot be taught as aseparate entity, but rather as an additional tool which can be used to teach the fundamentals ofengineering [4]. The challenge here is to introduce design into as many courses as possible,especially those courses geared towards design principles, while keeping the focus on
