Several undergraduate lab assistants worked on thetask of preparing a categorized set of circuit project plans for the Hobby Shop and compilingthem into a library that was eventually made accessible to students late in the fall of 2005. Eachproject included schematics, a brief description of the use of the circuit, its functionality andapplication limitations. Also, several short talks were given to freshmen classes across campuswith a focus on engineering students in particular. The project was promoted and potentialparticipants were

Thus, the reactor facility represents a perfect scale model of a modernindustrial plant with many of the same components and energy transport processes that can befound in any plant. This facility is rather unique within the educational community and it has thepotential to provide a wide variety of educational opportunities and real-life learning experiencesthat are not readily available at most institutions.This paper first describes the physical plant layout and main system components and discussesthe overall web-accessible reactor laboratory system that has evolved over the last few years.

Integrated lecture/laboratory format is adopted to allow this three credit hourscourse to cover the following topics: introduction to the basics of nanoscale science,technology, and engineering. The approach of this industry-responsive course is to offerproject-oriented modules which are consistent with the ASU Polytechnic mission ofcombining academic content with latest industrial practices. The modules offered in thiscourse place broad exposure to the scientific and engineering principles along with

FIRST’s success, and theseauthors introduction, has been the work of its thousands of volunteers. Across the United Statesvolunteers, mentors, professional engineers, teachers and others work with students to help guidetheir creative spirit in creating robots to overcome predefined challenges. This idea has branchedinto many different competitions including the FIRST Robotics Competition (A multinationalventure), FIRST Lego League (ages 9-14), FIRST VEX Challenge (high school students) andFIRST Place (working laboratories for all ages). The following paragraph will summarize theintent, purpose and history of FIRST Lego League (FLL).What is FIRST Lego League?Seen as the “little league” of the FIRST Robotics Competition, the FLL is the result of a

During the academic year of2004-2005, 27 sections of vector statics (ME215 Vector Statics) and 8 sections of theaccompanying group discussion course (ME225L Mechanics Laboratory) were offered forapproximately 800 students. It has been a bottleneck course due to its significant number offailures and repeats. In an ME departmental survey with 319 students who took the course fromvarious majors during fall 2001 and winter 2002 quarters, over 44% of them did not have thepassing grades, and that was a small increase from 40

Unfortunately, some EC2000 efforts have followed the samepattern. The author observed numerous program assessment plans that were so elaborate andconsuming that they were surely never executed after the ABET visit. Faculty are rightfullyexhausted by the effort and quickly abandon the plan because of the inordinate time and energyrequired. These clearly did not meet the intention of EC2000 and could not be sustained.It became clear to the author that programs needed a framework to help make the processperiodic and accountable on an annual basis, not the six year period of an

Justificationfor implementing a local GIS support site at this campus focused on the geographically dispersednature of the Penn State Campus Libraries and the limitations of data communications networksto carry large graphical data packets across campuses during laboratory exercises or geospatialresearch activities. Another consideration was the inability of local librarians to provide adequatesupport to users if GIS software and data were operated on a remote system.The library viewed the GIS initiative as an opportunity to potentially expand services andsupport to other disciplines throughout the campus. “Providing GIS Support through the librariesgives all
