The opportunity to put their ideas into practice came with an Advanced Research ProjectsAgency-funded Technology Reinvestment Project grant awarded to the Engineering Research Center forPlasma-Aided Manufacturing. The grant included funding for a new freshman introduction toengineering course beginning fall, 1994. The Fall 1994 Pilot Course The new course’s faculty met during the summer of 1994 to plan the course. They set the goal ofthe course to provide freshmen engineering students with an experience that allows them to discover

To that end, thecreation of cohesive course sequences as an opportunity to implement the reform was identified.Three cohesive course sequences, so called “track”, have been offered to the students. The Designand Manufacturing track provides seven closely-integrated courses to help students learn how toapply engineering fundamentals to practical design and manufacturing problems. The trackcourses include: Engineering Materials, Numerical Analysis, Manufacturing Processes, MachineDesign, Computer-Aided-Engineering, Advanced Manufacturing Engineering, andManufacturing Systems. The track courses will not only cover

There has been atendency to reduce design to (consumer) product design that will need corrective action at somepoint to include services, systems, and the public sector, among other topics of design.

It served as a time to set a foundation on how Iwill teach, do research, and serve the university and community in which I am a part. During thistime it was important to meet the challenges and expectations of the Department of MathematicalSciences, the College of Engineering, and Tennessee State University (TSU) as well as achievethe career goals and aspirations I had set for myself. There are several important factors to consider when making the transition to
