Optimization problems are often highly constrained and evolutionary algorithms(EAs)are effective methods to tackle this kind of problems. To further improve search efficiency and convergence rate of EAs, this paper presents an adaptive double chain quantum genetic algorithm(ADCQGA) for solving constrained optimization problems. ADCQGA makes use of doubleindividuals to represent solutions that are classified as feasible and infeasible solutions. Fitness(or evaluation) functions are defined for both types of solutions. Based on the fitness function, three types of step evolution(SE) are defined and utilized for judging evolutionary individuals. An adaptive rotation is proposed and used to facilitate updating individuals in different *** further improve the search capability and convergence rate, ADCQGA utilizes an adaptive evolution process(AEP), adaptive mutation and replacement techniques. ADCQGA was first tested on a widely used benchmark function to illustrate the relationship between initial parameter values and the convergence rate/search capability. Then the proposed ADCQGA is successfully applied to solve other twelve benchmark functions and five well-known constrained engineering design problems. Multi-aircraft cooperative target allocation problem is a typical constrained optimization problem and requires efficient methods to tackle. Finally, ADCQGA is successfully applied to solving the target allocation problem.

The Accreditation Board for engineering and Technology (ABET) is an internationally known organization for recognizing engineering programs that work towards student attainment in learning outcomes that conform to engineering disciplines and have a process for measuring attainment and continuous improvement. There are eight general criteria to be satisfied that include student outcomes, educational objectives, curriculum, facilities and faculty. Additionally, there may be program-specific requirements depending on the particular discipline. The modeling and simulation (M&S) engineering (M&SE) program at Old Dominion University satisfies the program criteria for general engineering in the ABET engineering Accreditation Commission and declares detailed discipline-specific student outcomes to ensure unambiguous definition of a pioneering program in order to set a standard that can be utilized as a template for future up-and-coming M&SE programs. This paper presents the curriculum and programspecific outcomes that have been incorporated into our continuous improvement process for student attainment of our M&S engineering program outcomes.

In recent years, a number of modeling and simulation graduate programs have been initiated to address the growing demand in industry and government for engineers and scientists educated in this discipline. However, much less has been done to develop undergraduate programs. This paper addresses the design of a curriculum for a baccalaureate program in modeling and simulationengineering. The constraints and objectives that guide the curriculum design are described. Then the development of a new curriculum, designed to meet the ABET accreditation requirements for general engineering programs, is presented.

The inclusion of innovation within engineering education is being identified as a crucial effort to ensure our technological competitiveness as evident by the number of solicitations including engineering innovation education by the National Science Foundation. While most work is spent on identifying how to create environments that foster innovation, this paper focuses on developing a technical skill set that enables innovation when in the correct environment. The premise of this paper is that the skills taught within the modeling and simulation curricula are those that enable innovative thinking. The skill set focuses on the abstract thinking, communication, and evaluation skills. This paper does not propose changing current engineering curricula, but rather to augment them by introducing abstract modeling concepts early in the curriculum, allowing students to see the generation of an innovative idea. This is be done through a series of small modules and assignments spread throughout the curriculum. Furthermore, the modules benefit the existing curricula by providing a context for why the students are learning the classic material.
