One ofthe possibilities that we are considering is to include enough “traditional” topics (statics,mechanics of materials, thermodynamics, etc.) in the program to: a) fully develop a student'sproblem-solving skills, b) satisfy external constituencies (including ABET) that this really is anengineering degree program, and c) enable our graduates to sit for the Fundamentals ofEngineering exam to obtain eventual licensure. We will be working in the coming year to fullydevelop the courses in this innovative new program.Summary and ConclusionsThe Delphi technique for consensus-building was successfully employed in this study to definethe characteristics of an emerging engineering discipline – Service Systems Engineering.Through input from a

The average score for atest becomes a B or C and the rest of the scores are distributed accordingly. This grading schemecauses only a few students to receive As or Fs and most receive Bs or Cs.

Autoethnography allows for critical reflection on the intersection ofpersonal experience and broader cultural phenomena (Ellis et al., 2011), making it well-suited toexplore the tensions between community engagement and research agendas. The themes I present in this work in progress (WIP) emerged from the traces I hadthrough emails, my own memory, and notes I took in conversation with various people includingMr. B, my high school contact.

But topology optimization can be carriedout on any type of structure.1. Reverse engineering of a bracketIn this work the following labs are proposed to design a lighter version of a known bracket: a) obtain the geometry of a bracket using a laser scanner, b) carry out a topology optimization to lighten the design of a bracket, checking that the new lighter design will not fail under a specified load, and c) experimental test using a universal machine to validate stress and topology optimization carried out using
