Industrial Consortium to foster applied research andenhance regional economic growth. In summary, first it is a well-rounded program whereall the stakeholders win, and second it can be replicated in many regions of the world. BACKGROUND AND MOTIVATION In modern times industrial companies struggle to reduce costs and remain competitive inthe market. The fast changing technologies and product innovations are also threatening themand, to survive and stay in business, they have to introduce new innovative products in themarket and stay ahead of their competition. China and India are countries with excellent offers ofcheap labor and well trained reverse design engineers, capable of reproducing most of theoccidental
present being tested in high school math, science,chemistry and physics courses as well as in community college chemistry courses. At presentthe HSTI team is evaluating plans to expand preliminary classroom trials throughout the scienceprograms of the School District of Hillsborough County, 11th largest in the nation.IntroductionThe High School Technology Initiative, HSTI, is a new approach to adapt and incorporate hightechnology materials into the state mandated secondary educational curricula. Members of theHSTI team believe that instructional modules can be used to engender an interest in pursuingtechnology, engineering, or science related careers by providing students with connectionsbetween technology and its underlying science as part of

Integrated Definition Language 0 (IDEF0) functional modeling is a structuredapproach for system design and analysis and can be used to answer these questions. With theuse of IDEF0, functions, inputs, as well as mechanisms that are required to get the desiredoutputs under specific constraints can be identified. This paper explores the complementary use of two different engineering modelingtools in describing educational processes associated with mobile wireless technology (MWT)classrooms. QFD and IDEF0 are integrated to determine the requirements and to specify theprocesses of the mobile wireless classroom

These softwaresystems normally integrate such desired functions as design of presentation of the course,educational tools to facilitate learning, communication and collaboration page design, andadministrative tools to assist the process of management and continuing improvement of thecourse. However, technological realities and lab hardware requirements/constraints of thesesoftware systems present challenges to educators who want to develop online technicalcourses in the fields of engineering or engineering technology with laboratory

Approximately 65 students each semester interact withsurgeons and investigate the technological challenges that face these practitioners. Invitedsurgeons come from various disciplines, including cardiovascular surgery, plastic andreconstructive surgery, surgical oncology, trauma surgery, minimally invasive surgery, oral andmaxillofacial surgery, bariatric surgery, thoracic surgery, and orthopedic surgery. Visits to alocal hospital (Allegheny General Hospital) provide the students with hands-on experience witha number of technologies utilized by surgeons. These

As part of hisorientation, he had sat in on Adams’ Technology and Society class, which undertakes to examine andcritique the relationship between technology and other areas of western society, and was particularlyimpressed with the discussion on aesthetics in that class. Upon the realization that aestheticpreference is a strong factor in the choice of software for these courses in signal processing, we haveundertaken to look at the role of aesthetics in engineering design and to examine this choice in lightof our discussion on aesthetics. Therefore, this paper will start with an overview of aesthetics,particularly in engineering design. We will then discuss the software packages at Dordt Collegeappropriate for signal
