This seminar should beportable to other institutions, or with some modification, could be used in outreach activities withhigh school students. We plan to use this seminar again in the coming academic year.Bibliography1. Vigeant, M., J. Baish, R. Kozick, S. Petrescu, R. Zaccone, and R Ziemian.

Thestudents obviously enjoyed the use of role play as an instructional method, developed thenecessary skill set to design effective training programs, and highly recommended this course toother engineering graduate students. With the necessary planning and preparation, the use ofrole play in a graduate engineering course can be successfully implemented to provide a moreproductive student-centered approach to teaching and learning.Bibliography1.

The course covers core IE topics, aboutone topic per week, using selected chapters from Turner, et al.’s text5 along with supplementalmaterial. The class meets three times weekly: one class is generally an introductory lecture withproblem-solving, the second includes more problem solving or further exploration of the topic,and the third is a laboratory or hands-on classroom activity. The students complete homeworkproblems and an
ideas that are helpful whenthinking about how to redesign the college.IntroductionImpending changes are presenting engineering schools across the country and around the globewith new challenges. Our task force at the UW-Madison COE has been engaged in efforts toassist the college in meeting these challenges. Some of these challenges are specific to the UW-Madison College of Engineering. Many of them, however, are universal. Our hope is that indiscussing the path(s) that we are following, we can broaden the conversation beyond a singlecampus. We do not want to mislead anyone: we do not claim to have the answers, and wecertainly have many unanswered questions, however, we believe that a national dialogue isrequired if engineering education is to

An innovative educational initiative isrelatively straightforward to offer once or twice in a few classrooms where the extent ofthe impact is limited, with significant involvement of the initiative’s creator(s) anddeveloper(s) invested. To have truly lasting impact, however, one needs to developeducational initiatives that can be transferred from expert to novice, that have appropriatedocumentation procedures in place, and are economically viable for all partnersinvolved.Challenge #2: Placing a curriculum in an environment that is over-prescribed in termsof content and resources.

surface data encompassed a roughly0.5m×3.5m swath. Three different wave frequencies were tested with wave periods of T = {1.1,1.2, 1.3}s and a sequence of images was taken for each wave period. Figure 6 shows a MATLABinterpolation of the Cartesian data from the T=1.1s experimental run. As mentioned earlier,texturizing the water surface with sufficient mist or spray is essential to getting good results.Figure 7 shows the Periodogram of the averaged data from Figure 6. The peak corresponds to apredominant frequency wavelength of 1.71m for this run. The average wavelength for the entiresequence of images was 1.93m; this shows excellent agreement with the wave gauge wavelengthof 1.90m.In another experiment, a series of stereo images were taken along

Most of the questions hadparticipants choose from a list of responses, and could thus be digitally tallied and graphed withrelative ease. The qualitative section at the end presented more of a challenge, however, and thedata from that are still being processed. Many questions throughout the survey allowed space forcomments, particularly if "Other" was an option. We read through these comments, and ifenough respondents wrote in a similar answer, tallied the remark and presented it with thecorresponding quantitative data.The questions/results presented in this paper are primarily those discussed in Todd et al.'s "ASurvey of Capstone Engineering Courses in North

the use of this new technological process for economic reasons?This paper will apply a series of existing theories developed from the post World War II periodto the pre CAD period of the 1980’s to explain technological changes and apply them tocomputer automation design process of today. These ideas will help to develop a theory tounderstand this new design process. It will outline characteristics of this new design process andpresent a framework to examine the effects in a Construction Design course. Student surveysand supporting data are presented. Recommendations for new assessment are offered. Thelarger goal of this paper is to obtain feedback for a more serious journal length article.Theoretical BackgroundThere is a substantial body of
