Therefore, curriculum objectives are achievedwithout utilizing additional laboratory time.1. IntroductionAt Cuyahoga Community College (CCC), Strength of Materials is a required course forthe mechanical engineering technology and architecture/construction technologyprograms. Beam deflection theory and the associated exercise problems are anindispensable part of a traditional strength of materials curriculum in similar programs.The subject is taught using both moment-area and superposition methods [1,2]. While themoment-area method uses properties of bending moment diagram area, the superpositiontechnique requires the combined use

IBM calls this the building of “a Smarter Planet” while Cisco uses the term“Smart+Connected Communities.” Recently, in engineering circles, these types of systems havebecome known as cyber-physical systems. These large-scale and not-so-large-scale applicationsare becoming possible due to the convergence of several key technologies. Essentially, throughthe use of networked embedded controllers (known as ambient intelligence) and complex sensorsand actuators (i.e. sensor networks) one is able to create intelligent infrastructure systems thathave the potential to change almost every aspect of mankind’s interaction with the environment.Presently

technical reports in a few courses simply did not meetthe expectations of employers. This led to a new approach to integrate writing exercises andevaluation throughout the curriculum. One basic premise from the outset was that writing cannotbe limited to a few courses, but requires a thoughtful integration over a student’s entire educationin Engineering Technology. Blending writing formats with each course was achieved by aconstructing a matrix with courses on one axis and forms of writing on the other. The matrixensures that students will develop the writing abilities desired by the base of employers duringtheir tenure in the department.BackgroundIn 1998 the University of Dayton Department of Engineering Technology was re-evaluating andre

As the report articulates, nations that are ableto provide conditions favorable to innovation and entrepreneurship, including a strong technically-trainedworkforce, stable government, culture that accepts and rewards risk taking, and the availability of early stage capitalare those most likely to claim positions of leadership in the 21st century. While this report and others appearing atthat time [2, 3] described the need for developing more engineering talent within the U.S., and an overall need forchanges in engineering education to
