We are using Project Success as a marketing tool to helpincrease the number of students coming to the ISU computer engineering program. By providingan environment where students can succeed and learn we hope to increase the number of womenand minorities entering our program.

Prosthetic Arm (BME/ME)Prosthetics has long been a significant area within mechanical engineering. Due toadvancements in various technologies prosthetics are becoming more useful and life-like. As aresult there are an increasing number of companies focusing on new types of prostheses. Yourstart-up biomechanics company has received a federal grant to design an above elbow body -powered prosthesis for an amputee. It shouldn’t weigh more than 5 pounds and should includeelbow and wrist joints as well as a terminal device (hand mechanism).

Since thedesign process course in our engineering school heavily emphasizes involving the students inhands-on learning activities, it helps them to understand the theoretical rationales behind theengineering design process.

In teaching basic signal analysis and/or introductorycommunications theory and the use of basic instrumentation, it has been found that provision ofknown signals to the various student laboratory stations both increases the efficiency of theinstructor’s time and enhances the student’s learning. For over thirty years, the ElectricalEngineering Department at the U. S. Naval Academy has used a central signal distribution systemin its laboratories.

In order that the profession can function in anincreasingly multiracial and multicultural workplace engineering schools must attract all racesand both genders. These future engineers will need an appreciation of society’s environmentalconcerns, a commitment to the solution of environmental problems and the interpersonal skills towork effectively in groups towards their solution.
