College of Technology(CoT) at Purdue University grew from a craft-oriented, non-degree program that was initiated in1946 to re-train the returning GI's. The nature of this program slowly shifted from post-war, non-academic teaching of construction craft skills to academic teaching of drafting and surveyingskills through the 1950s.6 It now is considered one of the leading programs for producingconstruction managers educated with a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree. It was first accreditedby the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE) in 1976 and has passed allaccreditation visits since that date. With the undergraduate degree being the basis for thedepartment, graduate course have been introduced since the 1990’s to follow the needs of
learned. We found that thepersonalized advising service is crucial for the success of the program and identified specificadjustments that community college instructor and students need to make when they come to a four-year university.1. IntroductionIn recent years, alarming national statistics and trends have shown declining graduate andundergraduate enrollment, graduation rates, and participation of minority groups in Science andEngineering (S&E) fields, and in Computer Science in particular. According to NSF’s Scienceand Engineering indicators 2006, underrepresented minorities did not enroll in or completecollege at the same rate as Caucasians. In 2003, the percentage of African-Americans andHispanics who completed a bachelor’s or higher
class (simulation,production planning and scheduling), we were not able to integrate all of these in the project. Finally, four,the students worked as teams. Each team member had different skills, some were strong with computers,some were strong in working with clients, some were more creative, and some were better at building theprototypes. Altogether, the final product was better when the combined skills were used. So the students notonly learned to integrate computers into the design process, but they learned to integrate personal skills.References[1] R.M. Thacker, A New CIMS Model, A Blueprint for the Computer-Integrated Manufacturing Enterprise l SME Publications (1989).[2] S. Alptekin, and C. O. Benjamin, “Integrating CAE/CAD/CAM
the concepts and procedures used in engineering design and then exposing them to the entire designprocess by requiring student teams to conceptualize, develop, analyze, document (CAD drawings and report),and test a prototype physical device which is to solve a specific problem under time and cost constraints. Thiscourse, which provides students with an early, hands-on, thorough design experience, provides a venue forassessing the impact of an early design experience on students.Background The convergence of several independent events in the early 1990’s led to the development of anexpanded course in Engineering Design and Drafting. These events included a College decision to move tocentralized computer facilities to replace and expand those

The status quo at the time resembled an efficient, coordinated junior college model. BSUdelivered the courses that are normally included in the first two years of an engineering degree. Studentsthen transferred to UI in Moscow for the final two years of a bachelor's degree. Close coordination ofcourses and requirements made this transition smooth for the students.

. Page 11.142.2Introduction to Virtue EthicsVirtue ethics is not a new concept. Most people regard it as something that was initiallydeveloped (as far as the Western world is concerned) by Aristotle more than 2300 years ago.Many ethical approaches concentrate on how to make good decisions when faced with difficultsituations. Aristotle’s approach was to emphasize virtuous living. A good person will makegood decisions, so what is important is to become a good person. In the 1200’s ThomasAquinas integrated this philosophy with a Christian perspective on the world. Aquinas’perspective was to dominate Western philosophical thinking for hundreds of years. For much ofthe 20th century virtue ethics was not commonly taught as a viable option by most

Every team was encouragedto post the latest program (executable without the source code) on their web site in thefifteenth week so that the other teams could test and improve. The final competition washeld on the last day of the fifteenth week. The sixteenth week was used for the students toanalyze their competition results and to finish the final reports.

are drawbacks inthis model too. Students often seek advice from the local faculty, and communicate it to theirteam members. This may lead to conflicting views as described earlier, although the chances ofsuch occurrence are low. More importantly, although the instructors grade GPD projects andteams jointly, the “local” instructor determines the final grade for each student at his/herinstitution. The instructor has a much deeper knowledge about the teams and the project works/he has supervised. It is difficult for the “local” instructor to understand the subtle decisionsmade by a team s/he did not supervise. Currently, the “local” instructor follows the progress ofhis “local” students independent of their teams by interacting frequently with

the theoretical relation between the amplitude and frequency is A / x st = 1 / (1 − s 2 ) 2 + ( 2εs ) 2 s=Ω/ωo, (4)where Ω is the frequency of excitation, ωo is the natural frequency of the system, and ε -damping ratio. Page 11.767.4The theoretical characteristic can be compared with the diagram from the experiment. Byknowing the amplitude of resonance then the damping ratio of the system can be calculatedfrom ε=2xst/Ares. With two laboratory stands students can learn about systems with 1DOF, their free andforced vibrations, and what properties the systems with 1DOF have; natural frequency,damping
