apart a metal piece with bare hands.Some education technology providers such as PASCO, Inc., provides a hand-cranked tensiletesting machine that would give students some “feel” of the strength of different materials4. Butthe equipment is costly ($2,900 for the ME-8230 model or $4,900 for the ME-8244 model)considering what limited tests could be performed by it.Abramowitz and Elliott12 introduced a lab for junior mechanical engineering students applyingtorque wrenches to the testing of torsional strength of metal fasteners. They emphasizedstatistical data analysis and used a specialized torsional testing fixture manufactured byGreenslade and Company13. This fixture has split collets of different sizes with internal threadson them. It can be used

Design competitions into the undergraduate experience, studentsare better prepared to enter the field of engineering and make more meaningful contributions totheir firms at an earlier rate.According to a report published for The Royal Academy of Engineering, UK (2006)1, the pace ofchange in industry is expected to intensify in both the technological and non-technologicaldomains. Particular themes that have emerged include: (a) an increased need for firms to focuson solving customer problems; (b) a growing requirement to provide system solutions tothose problems; (c) and the increasing complexity of the management task. Anotherimportant factor is globalization which will continue to affect both the demand and the supplyside of industry.Certain

Thedepartment’s mission is to encourage thinking to support safer, smarter, and sustainable design solutionsfor our changing and growing built environment. Professors within the department support these goalsthrough personal research endeavors and in enriching courses with novel and relevant lessons. Thecurriculum is designed to satisfy ABET accreditation criteria and the program promotes the developmentof civil engineers prepared to enter the profession. Students from the program are meeting a 78.6% FEexam pass rate (average score from Fall 2017 – Fall 2020), demonstrating one marker for curriculumsuccess in technical skills
