Through theuse of laboratory project-based "personality modules" customized to address different studentdisciplinary interests and backgrounds (e.g., mechanical engineering, the sciences, the arts,management), the course will expose students to professional applications of these technologies.This course is being developed with support from the National Science Foundation’s Course andCurriculum Development program.

Application Issues Some of the exercises were targeted directly at application issues. Discovery of the issueswas a natural outcome of collecting and analyzing experimental data. SPC is aboutunderstanding the sources of variation in a process. The process of collecting data to generatecontrol limits created the opportunity to ask additional questions. For example, asking why aprocess has so much variation leads directly to exploring the possible causes of the variation.People skills It is extremely important that engineers posses excellent people skills3. Students in the IMEdepartment are introduced to the basic principles of effective teams in a second year course.Team projects are included in most IME courses. In the SPC laboratory, students

We consider the theoretical background that supports this endeavor,the initial set of four engineering design-based science curriculum units that have been created,and the preliminary findings on the science content learning that occurs during unit enactment.The purpose of our project is to explore an overarching research question: what are theconsequences of using engineering-design-based activities as contexts for specific sciencecontent instruction in the upper elementary grades? To investigate this question, we havecollaborated with local teachers to

.• Architectural graphics dates back to ancient times. In modern times, the Information Age has made possible the design of large and more complex structures. Typical structures designed using architectural graphics include buildings, bridges, towers, ships and many other structures. The methods of architectural representation include orthographic projection, plan and elevation views, and associated sections and details. Perspective drawings are commonly architecturally based. Additional architectural based graphics developed to fit within buildings include mechanical, electrical, pipe and ventilation systems. Without a basic understanding of the architectural design, it would be difficult to design components and systems of the

I prefer to use lectures to discuss concepts rather than define vocabulary, explain the intricacies of regulatory rules, list out code requirements, etc. However, I cannot lecture on concepts if students don’t understand these basics.3.
