Desired results are a largeparticipation by freshman women engineering students, a qualitative increase in confidence (bothacademically and in engineering in general), a quantitative increase in grades, and, over the longrun, an increase in the retention rate for women in engineering at Northeastern University.Freshman Physics ClassesEngineering students at Northeastern take their first physics class in the spring semester of theirfreshman year, covering the elements of Newtonian physics. This class involves a twice-weeklylecture held in a large lecture hall, a weekly small ILS session where students take quizzes andwork on homework, two weekly homework assignments

There is very little systemic empiricalresearch that focuses on students’ who are about to graduate from an engineering department. Itis important to study the experiences of students who have completed or are about to obtain anengineering degree because, since they have recently gone through situations that femalestudents experience by being a minority in engineering, they can

A simple audio compression scheme that usesthe Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is described with details. The algorithm exposesthe students to the application of the FFT in a simplified MPEG-like audiocompression scheme. The hardware–software interaction of J-DSP with the TIDSK is also explained to students; an introduction to the architecture and itsperipherals is also part of the learning experience.

This does not address problems thatarise from installation, configuration, and integration inconsistencies among softwarecomponents installed in the system. Configuration and integration problems are common inpractice and experiencing them in an academic environment has great educational value.The final academic motivation, and perhaps the strongest, is the educational benefits studentsreceive administering their personalized computing environment.

It hasnow become an integral component of the course: each student must complete a paper by the endof the quarter, and the paper should meet certain requirements. Each student is also required togive a presentation on the paper in the last week of the quarter. The student’s paper andpresentation are weighted 20% and 10%, respectively, of his/her final grade for the course. Thestudent who is not able to turn in the paper on time or give the presentation fails the course. Thescores for papers and presentations are determined by both the peer evaluations among thestudents themselves and by the instructor’s own judgment.In addition to the paper and presentation, a student’s final grade for the course

However, most existing programs emphasize training inArchitectural Engineering with significantly less emphasis placed on structuralengineering. In this report, I devised an undergraduate curriculum(s) at NC StateUniversity to build a professional career in building/bridge design with strong emphasisin both the structural as well as the architectural aspects.

Although thecourse has always undergone a gradual evolution from year to year (as a result of our ABET-related self evaluation and feedback loop), there was a marked shift three years ago as explainedin the next sub-sections.Original Format: Integrated Lectures and ProjectsWhen this capstone course was first introduced in 1999 it was conceived as an integrated lectureplus project course. The course spanned the Fall-Spring semesters worth 4 units each semester(8 units total). The mechanics involved traditional lectures twice a week (75 minutes each),although since projects were running concurrently, approximately every three weeks the lectureswould give way to student presentations

No checkmark means the schoolidentified the course as 100% engineering science.For example, in only two of the five mechanical engineering programs examined, was SolidMechanics designated a design course on BLC tables, whereas an examination of the coursesyllabi revealed that these courses were essentially equivalent (at least, as described in thesyllabi). Indeed, the only course that was consistently labeled as a design course across all of thecurricula examined was the Capstone Design Course.

The onus for defining curricular content has shifted from ABET(‘one size fits all’) to the program’s faculty (‘stakeholder-driven continuous improvement’). Thisnew-found autonomy in determining curricular content has created varied ‘localized’interpretations and implementations. It comes with its own set of challenges. Heightenedemphasis has been placed on development and documentation of professional skills (aka ‘soft’skills) such as oral and written communication, team work, lifelong learning, and global andsocietal issues.
