This project will under take department level reform at City College of New York (CCNY) Mechanical Engineering (ME) Department in October 2002. This systemic reform of the curriculum will be undertaken in partnership with the American Society of MechanicalEngineers (ASME). The reform effort has three components, each designed to correspond to a current trend in the mechanical engineering profession. These are: a) incorporation of emerging technologies such as, MEMS, Advanced Materials, Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), Intelligent Systems/ Electronics, Biotechnology, Nanotechnology and Nontraditional Energy, into the curriculum; b) new teaching methodologies focused on student learning and c) enhanced efforts at recruitment and retention of students to help increase the emerging technological workforce for industry. All three elements of reform are planned to reinforce one another. A distinguishing feature of this project is the collaboration with ASME, which as the premier organization of the mechanical engineering profession can provide meaningful feedback on the impact of the curriculum reform on the practice of engineering. The collaboration with ASME will be in the following areas: a) incorporation of the ASME Professional Practice Curriculum into the ME program b) conducting ASME's Effective Teaching Workshop at CCNY c) instituting an Industry Advisory Board to provide feedback and d) dissemination of results.

该项目将于2002年10月在纽约城市学院（CCNY）机械工程系进行系级改革。这一课程的系统性改革将与美国机械工程师协会（ASME）合作进行。 改革的努力有三个组成部分，每一个设计，以符合当前的趋势，在机械工程专业。这些是：a）将新兴技术，如微机电系统、先进材料、计算机辅助工程、智能系统/电子、生物技术、纳米技术和非传统能源纳入课程; B）注重学生学习的新教学方法和c）加强招聘和留住学生的努力，以帮助增加新兴的工业技术劳动力。改革的所有三个要素都计划相互加强。该项目的一个显着特点是与ASME的合作，作为机械工程专业的首要组织，可以提供有关课程改革对工程实践的影响有意义的反馈。与ASME的合作将在以下领域进行：a）将ASME专业实践课程纳入ME计划B）在CCNY举办ASME有效教学研讨会c）建立行业咨询委员会以提供反馈和d）传播结果。
