Nine of twelve ME faculty membersincorporated S-L in those courses (more recently 12 of 13), in addition to 3 facultyoutside the department teaching courses for ME students. This initiative is part of acollege-wide effort to have all five undergraduate programs have S-L integrated into thecore curriculum (ECE, ChE, CE, and Plastics E).Courses and projects included, for examples, introduction to engineering for first yearstudents (common to students in all five programs) who designed and built

in thecurriculum. Other majors give students an early “feel” for their chosen area of study. We be-lieve that this lack of “feel” in our curriculum was leading to a misunderstanding of what engi-neering is all about, resulting in attrition.We decided to look at this problem as an opportunity. We moved the one-semester-hour fresh-man Matlab course to the junior year,1 which left an opening with which to do something con-structive. We saw this as an opening to excite students with engineering, give them an early fla-vor of problem solving and design, get them involved with other students, use technology tolearn technology and prepare them to design technology. Furthermore, we saw this as an oppor-tunity to pilot a course with balanced pedagogy

These hands-on competitive (years 1-3) or capstone(year 4) design experiences help the students comprehend the practical aspects of theirtheoretical learning and give them an opportunity to creatively apply course material. In years 1-3, the design projects are closely integrated with the course content, and involve “spiraling” ofconcepts in successive semesters and years. Weekly laboratory experiences provide additionalhands-on learning and prepare the students to achieve the various design project milestones.Table 1: Design courses in the four-year Mechanical Engineering curriculum.

Many literaturedescriptions of curricular change have reported a process that focuses on stakeholders such asstudents, alumni, and employers along with the above-referenced guidance documents, but doesnot contain a substantial benchmarking effort [1, 6-11]. Less common in the literature is theapproach of benchmarking curriculum changes against a set of “competitors”.

To design andbuild the experimental airplane, students used the specifications developed by the instructors. Theyanalyzed the feasibility of a full scale experimental airplane and designed the airplane based on theiranalysis.
