This up-frontdesign analyses by engineers in industry, such as using FEA, has also moved from engineerswith Ph.D.’s to engineers at the M.S. or B.S. degree level. However, most manufacturingengineering students are not exposed to FEA as part of their educational process. It is especiallytrue for manufacturing engineering technology curriculum at Wayne State University (WSU).FEA is now considered by many to be a standard tool for many categories of engineers. Thecommercial FEA code is now a very common numerical tool in stress analysis of mechanicalcomponents, and is widely used in other types of engineering analysis, such as vibrations andthermals. Furthermore, the FEA plays an important role in

In addition, students wereexposed to the cultural and historical implications of engineering education, project planning anddesign, as well as construction decisions and methods. A course evaluation of the course showedthat students have gained better understanding of global perspectives of civil engineering andculture influence on engineering designs, learned what they could never learn in regular classesthrough site visits and

After the core, the students are considered to have anequal level of knowledge, thus allowing the following courses to advance much farther and faster.This paper focuses on one core course EGR 604 - Implementation3 that deals with the practicalissues of engineering.

The effects of small informal groups with underlying commonality have beendocumented to produce excellent results5. This is due in large part to common denominators ofrespect for one another’s opinions, genuine desire for members’ success, and anxiety freeenvironments for perceived failures.Through focus groups of minority graduate students, McAfee, et al.

Cleary tested beams that were ductile and brittle, and he testedone beam that failed in shear and another that experienced an anchorage failure. Thebeam testing was coordinated with the lecture schedule. Originally he had planned thatthe students cast the beams, but due to the time restrictions of the course and the desire todemonstrate a multitude of beam failures, the beams were cast prior to the beginning ofthe semester. The outcomes of the beam testing were measured through courseevaluations, student comments, and final exam scores. Final exam scores

Grading has been handled in a slightly different manner each semester, but thecurrent plan is to have each discussion contribute 1% of the overall course grade. Thispercentage seems to strike an appropriate balance between the relatively low effort involved incompleting the assignment and the importance of teaching students to take responsibility forlearning something beyond the textbook and outside of the classroom. A student’s grade foreach assignment is broadly recorded as an A (expectations fully met), C (a reasonable attemptwas made to complete the assignment, but some element of the assignment was not appropriatelyexecuted), or F (absent or completely

There is now concern to harnesshigher education, research and scholarship to broader social, economic and culturalobjectives. 4 The Irish National Development Plan, 2000, 5 states that “research is acore element of the mission of higher education. The extent to which educationinstitutions are engaged in research and development activities has a key role indetermining the status and the quality of these institutions and the
