Thethermal/fluids course utilizes multiple projects with relatively small teams, in which each studenttakes a turn as team leader. The mechanical design course typically has one major term projectwith the entire class working as a single large team on an industrial project solicited from a localcompany. There is one team leader with the rest of the team organized into functional groups.This paper describes each of these courses and goes into the details of how they serve tocomplement each other.Curricular BackgroundThe ME program at Union College has had in its curriculum for

Henceprocess and structural factors affecting part accuracy in machining processes are quitecomplicated. CNC machine tools only minimizes a small portion of these errors since CNC oftendoes not utilize sensor data to compensate for geometric-thermal errors and errors generated bythe cutting process. Therefore, we must provide our students, through our curriculum, with anadequate level of expertise through new programs, courses and support laboratories.This paper is focused on description of new laboratory modules, teaching materials, practicalexperiments and projects developed as an integrated educational

Capitalizing on a student’s freshengineering knowledge and young ambitions to make an impact, outreach programs sendundergraduates into K-12 classrooms to introduce the engineering discipline to young children.Female engineers demonstrate a large interest in these outreach efforts, and subsequentlyenhance their overall undergraduate engineering experience. Beyond the initial self-satisfactionof working with young children, which gratifies the female instinct, the young women engineersare able to gain a greater confidence in the technical discipline that is often difficult to obtain inthe male-dominated college

This obviously places an added burden on the facultywho must exert an effort to motivate the students, in addition to teaching the material to them. Asearch by the author for publications dealing with structural design instruction in CM programsdid not produce any relevant publications, but there seems to have been an effort to address theissue of integrating the instruction of structural design in architectural curricula, where it seemsmuch easier to motivate architectural students to learn about structural design concepts. This isbecause famous architects, such as
