What action(s) do you expect your readers to take as a result of reading this memo? For the purposes of this class, understanding a problem differently can be considered an action. 5. What do your readers need to know in order to want to take those actions?Through lectures and feedback, the students are coached to appropriately collect and constructanswers to each of these questions. Then they are asked to use their answers to these questionsto their memos and proposals.5 The exercise is helpful to students who are not accustomed toconsidering, in depth, their

MicromachinedTransducers Sourcebook by Kovacs 5 was used as a primary source/text in Spring 2000 and 2001and was supplemented with material from a three-day MEMS short course6. Since then severalnew teaching texts have been introduced including MEMS and Microsystems: Design andManufacture by Hsu 7, which was adopted for Spring 2002. Other lecture materials are largelydeveloped from the research literature.Student Projects The main vehicle, however, for learning in this course is the student design project. Toaccomplish this task, students work in teams that are diversified in terms of both discipline andexperience (i.e., a mix of seniors and first-year graduate students). As such, the course addressesABET 2000’s Criterion 3d, that students will demonstrate

There are many websites and companies that will send out sample products to yourstudents, if they request them.

FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING SYSTEMAutomation took on a whole new dimension in the mid twentieth century with the introductionof numerical control (NC) machine tools. (Manufacturing Engineering and Technology §38.2.1).Prior to this breakthrough automatic screw machines and turret lathes were the preeminentmachine tools in use. (Id.) Rapid deployment of NC machine tools and the refinement of thecomputer chip enabled manufacturing to undergo major changes.

development.ConclusionsThe introduction of new web based tools is in “Air and Space Vehicles” are helping mostof the students learn. A variety of tools were implemented autumn quarter, 2001, andhave shown to have a positive impact. The overwhelming feeling among the studentswas that the web site as a whole was a great source of information that made learningeasier. Some students pointed to the models, estimators and posting tools to beparticularly effective.Building a course-specific web site is a big, but fun, challenge. Judging from studentfeedback in “Air and Space Vehicles”, it appears to be a worthwhile challenge.Bibliography1.

teams (e.g. architects, builders, civil engineers, environmentalscientists, economists). However, if this is not feasible at a particular institution, individuallecturers or specialisation teams can still implement project-based learning within their owncourses.Project-based learning is sometimes used interchangeably with the term problem-based learning,a more familiar term to many educators. However, in the engineering context, they are not thesame things. Problem-based learning was introduced in the area of medical education in the1960’s and has become widespread in that area and related health professions since that time.The major objection raised against the use of problem-based learning in engineering, ascompared with medicine, is that
