traditionalmechanics of materials courses. Most courses try to balance some amount of finite elementtheory with practice using a commercially-available software package. In this paper, the authorsdescribe a course that adds a third component to a finite element course: a physical laboratory inwhich mechanics of materials experiments are performed and the results compared to FEAresults where practical.When the MET curriculum was revised recently at MSOE, the addition of the physical lab to theFEA course seemed to be a good fit. Although some of the reasons for considering this additionwere logistical ones (elimination of one-credit stand-alone labs to make evening schedulingeasier was a goal), the idea had merit for other reasons. For both the mechanics lab

this project-centered approach, the Engineering Graphics curriculum has beenorganized into a set of learning modules with specific educational outcomes. Table 1 lists thecurrent modularization scheme and learning outcomes. It consists of ten units that serve asindividual student projects, plus an integrated PROCEED project that is conducted at theconclusion of the course. With this modularization scheme, the ten individual units trainstudents to develop computer skills and abilities that can be later used in the larger team project.These modern course outcomes, as outlined in Table 1, were fully implemented in the Fall 2002semester using some preliminary computer graphics laboratory notes written by our group10.The initial modules stress

The Summer Math Jam is a two-week intensive mathematics program designedto improve student preparation for college-level math courses. The Summer EngineeringInstitute is a two-week residential summer camp that offers participating students the opportunityto gain insight into the engineering academic program through a combination of lectures, hands-on laboratory activities, workshops and projects with engineering professionals.

the least important [20]. These faculty then may teach theirengineering students to do the same [9], [20]. Further, engineering students are often exposed toclosed-ended problems that are decontextualized, extending the gap between social and technicalaspects of engineering. The result is that engineers may be unprepared to understand the largercontexts and implications of their work [17], [21]. Thus, social aspects of engineering are bothoverlooked and undervalued in engineering education.Yet, engineering inherently has social outcomes. Engineering artifacts are innately sociotechnicalas some individuals benefit, some are overlooked, and some have power to negotiate change[20].

Worldwide usage brings certain advantages with it.Standardization of components drives down manufacturing costs; it also reduces maintenancecosts when replacements are easy to obtain. In addition, auto mechanics and repair personnelonly have to learn one electronics communication protocol to diagnose and repair faulty systems.In this entire situation, the only weak link is the educational system.Many schools around the country teach a course in embedded design, but very few2, 3, 4 focus onthe networking of embedded systems.
