IntroductionOn the quarter system, the ME faculty taught a classical vibrations course emphasizing one andtwo degrees of freedom systems and their mathematical solutions. A follow-on, one-credit hourdigital simulation laboratory (requiring the vibrations class as a pre-requisite) emphasized thenumerical solutions of differential equations using such higher-level programs as SL-1(developed by Xerox in the late 1960’s), CSMP (developed by IBM in the late 1960’s), ACSL1,and now MATLAB®2; this evolution followed the introduction of each new package

Either Model #2 or Model #3 can beused after the first or second mid-term exams because both models have moderate predictabilityto generate good predictions. For example, if Model #2 or Model #3 predicts that a student willreceive a final exam score below 50 (out of 100), the student will be

The laboratory experiments are designed to complement and synchronize with the lecture course in order to best reinforce concepts learned in class with hands-on experience. Using the laboratory facility, students should be allowed to conduct design and simulation projects in a simulated virtual environment. These projects allow students the opportunity to be involved in the development of software for modern controls, embedded systems, power electronics and industrial drive control systems.

This assessment asked students to briefly describe and sketch a diagram to representeach of the four types of atomic bonding: covalent, ionic, metallic, and van der Waals. Thesebonding types were chosen because they are the most central to the materials and processesexamined in materials engineering. In another assessment, students were given three differentmaterials: a paper clip, a glass bottle, and a PVC pipe.

All of theadditional lessons were added to the course by reducing the scope of topics previouslycovered in the course. In particular, the lessons on coal combustion were significantlyreduced in number. These changes were motivated by an assessment conducted by theprimary course instructor at

number of students will indicate they want less of a particular project type as those whoindicate they want more.Another trend in the data was that if a student knew what engineering major s/he wanted cominginto the program, there was typically one project that helped cement that choice, often related tothat major, and possibly another project that helped them determine what they did not want to do.Minor Design projects, which are design-and-build are mentioned, along with weekly homeworkprograms. These are both listed in many categories. The responses show that certain projects areperceived as connected to particular engineering majors, and participating in those clearly helpedstudents make decisions on those majors.
