Dallas Abstract A graduate industrial internship program is described that has been implemented in the joint graduate biomedical engineering program of the University of Texas at Arlington and the University of Texas Medical Center at Dallas for over a decade. Graduate students who complete 9 or more credit hours of graduate course work with a GPA ≥ 3.0 may elect to participate in the internship program. The interns work at industrial sites, either part- or full time. A faculty member serves as the advisor for the student and interfaces with the supervisor of the student at the firm. The advisor verifies that the assigned project provides the student with meaningful industrial experience and also monitors the student’s progress. Participating students register for internship credit hours and receive a letter grade based on their performance. Participation in the internship program is optional and the accrued internship course credit hours are not applied toward the graduate degree course requirement. That is, they may not be substituted for required didactic or research credit hours. . However, the research findings associated with the industrial project may qualify as a non-thesis master’s project, a master’s thesis, or even a Ph.D. dissertation, depending on the scientific merit of the findings. Thus far, 25 students have successfully completed the internship program. All participants have successfully completed the internship program. Upon graduation, over 10% of the interns have been hired as full time employees by the company where they interned. The rest of the interns after graduation have become employed as engineers at other industrial firms or research

Our group is developing a modularized approach to the freshman engineering graphics computer laboratory sequence based on a concurrent engineering design paradigm. This educational paradigm starts with the development of a feature-based, parametric 3-D solid model. This 3-D model then constitutes a digital database that can be applied to design analyses, such as mass properties and finite element analysis. An assembly of parts can be mated together, and a kinematics animation of the assembly can be created to demonstrate functionality. The same digital geometry can be further applied to rapid prototyping in order to create a physical realization of the design idea. As needed, 2-D paper documentation of the design can be generated directly from this same model database. This paper outlines this modern engineering graphics computer laboratory sequence and portrays examples of student exercises used in the course. Results of a learning outcomes assessment, conducted in Fall 2002, presents results that demonstrate the students’ understanding and acceptance of this educational paradigm.

This paper discusses the major classes of software that help to manage the Supply Chain. It describes where, how and what exactly each of the so-called silo software operates.This paper intends to discuss the use of simulation for evaluating the supply chain to gain performance improvements for their operations. It focuses on the benefits of using simulation as an effective tool to manage and understand your supply chain. It also discusses the reasons why one would want to use computer simulation as the analysis methodology to evaluate supply chains, its advantages and disadvantages against other analysis methodologies where simulation can find cost reductions that other methodologies would miss. The evolution of SCM software over a period of time and its need for integration is explained in this paper. The paper briefly discusses about the SCM software vendors and its selection procedure.

In 1998 the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Houston began requiring the completion of a capstone design course as part of its BSEE and BSCE degrees. Through mutual agreement they created a new course number ECE 4334 and joined the existing INDE/MECE 4334 capstone design course, required of all students in the Departments and Industrial Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. This paper describes the changes that have occurred in the new combined course ECE/INDE/MECE 4334, the interdisciplinary capstone course for three departments and provides a description of projects from spring, 2002. Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) is a system that grows semiconductor crystals on a substrate. The Texas Center for Superconductivity and Advanced Materials has a MBE device in need of a modern control system. The effusion cells on this system are controlled by a legacy computer system that is difficult to use and is deficient of most automation capabilities required for more complex growth routines. A control system using labVIEW has been developed with scripting capability for the three components of the effusion cell: shutter, heating power supply, and thermocouple. To successfully operate a medical Magnetic Resonance Imager, accurate measurements of patient dimensions are required to reference and calibrate the image to the patient’s actual anatomical scale. Current methods for the measurement of external patient dimensions are relatively inaccurate and slow. A device has been designed and fabricated which will take linear patient dimensions and transfer those readings to a Windows PC via the serial input/output port.

Two-phase flow introduces a very interesting field to several areas of engineering and science. The phenomenon brings about numerous applications and benefits, especially in the study of a cooling system for highly integrated electronic circuits used in computers, the problem of narrow-gap boiling in nuclear systems 9 , and the design of highly efficient compact heat exchangers. These fields of study heavily depend on experimentations including data collection, where it is essential to design and develop two-phase flow experimental systems. This paper reports the design and development of an experimental system for two-phase flow that allows undergraduate and graduate students or other remote clients to easily run two-phase flow experiments, change control parameters and analyze the results via TCP/IP based network systems including the Internet and the Local Area Networks. This computer-aided experiment uses LabVIEW software and data acquisition boards (DAQ). Control of the experiment is initiated from a web browser, and data are acquired and sent to the remote user as they are being measured in the laboratory. With the ability to control the experimental instruments remotely, equipment can be operated and the data acquired and analyzed via TCP/IP network.

The Classroom Participation System (CPS) is an interactive, computer-based instructional tool that allows the instructor to poll the class on important topics during a live lecture. Each student is issued a handheld responder that looks like a television remote-control device. The faculty member can pose a multiple-choice question to the class during a lecture, and each student in return presses a button corresponding to their answer to the question. Using a classroom computer or laptop hooked up to a projector, the CPS registers all the responses to the question, calculates class data, and then projects it onto the screen. This paper reports some initial classroom experiences using the CPS during a one-hour lecture on the biomechanics of the Iron Cross gymnastics maneuver. The lecture was presented in a series of Powerpoint slides. Interweaved between the slides were ten different questions posed with the CPS in place. After the initial lecture, the class performed an individual homework problem related to calculating the muscle strength needed to hold the Iron Cross position. Then a week later the Powerpoint lecture was repeated and the same CPS data were gathered as a post-test measure. In addition, survey questions were asked concerning student attitudes towards using the CPS live in the classroom environment.
