COURSE AND CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
New Course Development - University of Kentucky
ME 406: Computer Aided Design and Analysis - Introduced Spring 1997
A study of graphical computer design and analysis techniques currently used in component design and new
product development. Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) modeling is emphasized
utilizing the commercial software codes Pro/ENGINEER and ANSYS. Topics include sketching, datum
construction, assemblies, primitives, boolean operations, data export, meshing, boundary conditions, solution
techniques, and postprocessing. Complex structural, dynamic, heat transfer, fluid dynamic, and nonlinear problems
are solved.
New Course Development - University of Pittsburgh
ENGR 1050: Product Realization - Introduced Spring 2001
This interdisciplinary course considers the diverse aspects of the product realization process which includes: 1)
defining user requirements, 2) the creation of a computer based model and designs of a product from an existing
product, 3) rapid prototyping techniques, and 4) the development of a manufacturing plan. Working in
multidisciplinary design teams (3-4 students) from engineering and business, students take a product from concept
to working prototype. In doing this, they address issues of market analysis, prototype design, design for
manufacture, and production planning. The course culminates in a final presentation of a business plan and
working prototype to a panel consisting of individuals from industry and academia. Successful students receive a
minimum of $2,500 from the Pitt Venture Fund to be used to complete ENGR 1051 below.
ENGR 1051: Business Plan to Product Implementation - Introduced Summer 2001
This independent study course allows selected design teams (via the competitive judging process of Product
Realization) to advance their product ideas to potential commercialization. Each student team begins with their
business plan and working prototype. They are then given a minimum of $2,500 to further develop their product,
perform a market analysis, and/or file for a patent. The mini-venture capital fund has been established by generous
gifts from our alumni and the NCIIA.
IE 1087 Finite Element Analysis in Product Design – Introduced Spring 2006
This course investigates the growing trend of utilizing virtual design and analysis tools in the product development
process. A brief overview of the product development process will be given, with particular emphasis on the role of
MICHAEL RHODES LOVELL
Page 41
virtual prototyping techniques. In this regard, the underlying theory of the finite element method will be
demonstrated through the fundamental concepts of meshing, material models, stiffness matrices, loading and
boundary conditions, and the generation of stress and displacement results. In addition, utilizing the commercial
finite element software package ANSYS, potential consumer products will be virtually analyzed in an effort to rapidly
change and obtain feedback on specific design solutions.
New Curriculum Introduced - University of Pittsburgh
Certificate Program in Product Realization
To improve engineering education in the areas of design, manufacturing, and product creation, a new Certificate
Program in Product Realization was established. The program consists of an innovative curriculum that includes
courses in both the Schools of Engineering and Business. This integrated curriculum, which includes nine, highly
specialized courses, takes advantage of the state-of-the-art facilities and research activities of the Swanson Center
for Product Innovation. The certificate program was designed to enable any of our 1660 undergraduate
engineering students, as well as qualified students in the College of Business Administration with an interest in new
product development to participate. Students take a total of four courses to include at least one business course,
two engineering courses and a capstone product realization course. To date, 20% of the undergraduate students
within the School of Engineering have participated in components of the program.
Certificate Programs in Nuclear, Power, and Mining Engineering
As part of the Swanson School of Engineering’s Power and Energy Initiative, new undergraduate and graduate
certificate programs were developed in three areas of need of regional industry: nuclear, power, and mining
engineering. With the substantial increase in the global demand for electric power over the next half-century,
significant growth opportunities existed for regional industries that were leaders in the generation, transmission and
distribution electric power. To realize these opportunities, specialized certificate programs were required to
counteract workforce and technology development neglect that was dominant in these industries in the 1980s and
1990s. The majority of engineering and other technical talent in each of these fields was preparing to retire over the
next decade, just as the industries were poised to experience strong growth in demand for their products and
services. To address this workforce gap, an ambitious new curricula consisting of 27 new Power & Energy courses
were developed and delivered that annually trained more than 150 undergraduates and 50 graduate students in
these critical fields. A unique aspect of the program was that all of courses in the three certificate programs were
developed and taught collaboratively with regional industries. Each certificate program had an industrial champion
that provided financial support and helped organize the industrial collaborations - Westinghouse Electric (Nuclear
Power), CONSOL Energy (Coal Mining), Eaton Electric (Electric Power Transmission & Distribution).
New Curriculum Introduced - University of Wisconsin Milwaukee
Certificate Program in Innovative and Sustainable Design
Taking advantage of CEAS’s new Institute for Industrial Innovation (I3) and the Peck School of the Art’s (PSOA’s)
emerging Design Research Institute (DRI), a new curriculum is being introduced to train students to address
interdisciplinary problems in a highly complex, global innovation economy. This historic interdisciplinary
MICHAEL RHODES LOVELL
Page 42
collaboration between PSOA and CEAS, includes the development of a four course sequence that forms the basis
of a new cross-disciplinary Certificate Program in Innovative and Sustainable Design. The certificate, which takes
an adaptable approach to product development and design, consists of unique courses that will be jointly taught by
engineering and arts faculty and will be based on the formation of multi-disciplinary E-Teams. These courses
include: 1) Creativity & Design Processes, 2) Innovation and Sustainable Design, 3) Product Realization, and 4)
Innovation and Commercialization. The premise for launching the certificate is that as students form and re-form
cross-disciplinary E-teams and undertake action research in a variety of facilities with a range of clients, they will
expand their capabilities and become adept at a unique form of problem solving—an innovative design process—
derived from both fields.
MS Degree in Energy Engineering
Responding to the needs of regional industry (particularly Johnson Controls), CEAS launched a new MS degree in
energy engineering. This degree program, which is primarily geared towards graduate students who major in
electrical or mechanical engineering, is taught in a hybrid approach that includes significant on-line instruction and
minimal classroom work on the UWM campus. The areas of focus for the program include energy efficiency,
renewable energy, power energy, and energy storage devices. All courses in the program were developed and are
team-taught by faculty and regional industrial experts.
International Co-Op Program
A new international co-op program has been developed and launched where students spend their first two rotations
in with regional industrial sponsors and their last two rotations working for their sponsoring companies oversees
(specifically China, India, or Taiwan). While working oversees, students live at a partner University and receive
instruction in foreign language and culture as part of their co-op experience. The pilot for the program was
launched in 2009 in collaboration with Briggs & Stratton and Chongqing University.
