Page 11.252.2Course Descriptions and BackgroundThe NU course is a required four-credit sophomore course for Industrial Engineering majors,with a few engineering students taking IE as a minor. The course covers core IE topics, aboutone topic per week, using selected chapters from Turner, et al.’s text5 along with supplementalmaterial. The class meets three times weekly: one class is generally an introductory lecture withproblem-solving, the second includes more problem solving or further exploration of the topic,and the third is a laboratory or hands-on classroom activity. The students complete homeworkproblems and an
ideas that are helpful whenthinking about how to redesign the college.IntroductionImpending changes are presenting engineering schools across the country and around the globewith new challenges. Our task force at the UW-Madison COE has been engaged in efforts toassist the college in meeting these challenges. Some of these challenges are specific to the UW-Madison College of Engineering. Many of them, however, are universal. Our hope is that indiscussing the path(s) that we are following, we can broaden the conversation beyond a singlecampus. We do not want to mislead anyone: we do not claim to have the answers, and wecertainly have many unanswered questions, however, we believe that a national dialogue isrequired if engineering education is to

developers of pre-college curricula face?Challenge #1: Developing sustainable practices. An innovative educational initiative isrelatively straightforward to offer once or twice in a few classrooms where the extent ofthe impact is limited, with significant involvement of the initiative’s creator(s) anddeveloper(s) invested. To have truly lasting impact, however, one needs to developeducational initiatives that can be transferred from expert to novice, that have appropriatedocumentation procedures in place, and are economically viable for all partnersinvolved.Challenge #2: Placing a curriculum in an environment that is over-prescribed in termsof content and resources.

surface data encompassed a roughly0.5m×3.5m swath. Three different wave frequencies were tested with wave periods of T = {1.1,1.2, 1.3}s and a sequence of images was taken for each wave period. Figure 6 shows a MATLABinterpolation of the Cartesian data from the T=1.1s experimental run. As mentioned earlier,texturizing the water surface with sufficient mist or spray is essential to getting good results.Figure 7 shows the Periodogram of the averaged data from Figure 6. The peak corresponds to apredominant frequency wavelength of 1.71m for this run. The average wavelength for the entiresequence of images was 1.93m; this shows excellent agreement with the wave gauge wavelengthof 1.90m.In another experiment, a series of stereo images were taken along

&D expenses and time, a reduction in toolingand associated costs, a reduction in the number of possible mistakes on the shop floor, as well asan overall reduction in the component cost due to volume purchasing.The compressor component was then quickly identified as a possible candidate for part countreduction. It was chosen due to its overall complexity, time necessary for assembly and service,expensive materials, and overall number of parts. A modular compressor concept was introducedand a preliminary design [on a conceptual level] was conducted to show the possible benefits ofsuch a concept.Background and Literature Survey for the Modular Compressor projectThe original gas turbine modular concept2 was first developed in the early 1960’s

particular relevance to the National Collaborative Task Force onEngineering Graduate Education Reform is the relationship between innovativeness andcollaborative knowledge sharing, which has been shown to be augmented by the use of cohortgroups.The Task Force mission to reshape engineering education to improve the competitiveness of U.S.industry through technological innovation, will be positively impacted by the use of cohort-basededucational models. At Purdue and RIT, the impact of cohort-based education has beenuniversally positive, with significant benefits to all stakeholders: students, alumni, sponsors,faculty, and administration.Bibliography1.
