) models.Suggested Course TextbooksThe authors are of the opinion that this course is better delivered in a team-taught manner, due tothe fact that most of the issues related to bioterrorism in buildings involve several topics orsubjects – HVAC controls, filtrations, chemical and biological agents and their dissemination,building design considerations, decontamination, risk management, economics etc.Consequently, recommending any particular course textbook(s) will be an arduous task just forthe very reasons that the course involves too many issues/topics which are sometimes unrelated,and hence make selecting any particular textbook(s) difficult. That notwithstanding, thefollowing course textbooks (not an exhausted list) can serve as a way forward: 1

further advantages of these courses a setup iscreated where synergy between the capstone and cornerstone courses are utilized. It might be assimple as having students share a coffee machine, but also by having capstone students coachingand mentoring cornerstone students or having cornerstone projects as a subproject of a largercapstone project. All these mechanisms creates an exchange of experiences and knowledgebetween the junior and the more senior students which has proved advantageous for the juniorstudents to better understand their future professional roles.References1.

Engineering and Computer Science DepartmentAbstractIn the United States, more than 10% of traditional electrical engineering programs havecombined with computer science into a single department 1. Historically computer scienceprograms emerged from mathematics or electrical engineering departments in the mid to late1960's. Since mathematics is not typically in the engineering college many computer scienceprograms developed independently from engineering programs. In the 1970's and early 1980's,with the advent of the microprocessor and embedded computer systems, computer engineeringevolved mostly out of existing electrical engineering programs and has since become a separatediscipline distinct from electrical engineering with

sciencesreport doing so due to poor instruction [4]. Accordingly, this line of research has sparked aninterest in improving the quality of education engineering students receive by improvinginstruction through increased understanding of student learning and motivation [3]. From a motivation perspective, some of the most important steps students taketoward a career in science and engineering (S & E) are in choosing the right coursework,experiences, and mentors to get them there. Over the past few years, researchers haveamassed a substantial body of knowledge regarding how students think about their personalfutures. They argue if we want to understand why students choose one career path overanother, and why they choose to persevere or abandon

Whereas the U.S. Scientific Workforce and the U.S. Engineering Workforce are both vital national resources for the nation’s S&T progress, they serve two distinct purposes.

Librarians at MIT conducted an experiment in 2005-2006 that underscored the issues of management and dissemination. The knowledgegathered from the results of this experiment informed them of how to strengthen librarianservices to academic communities. In its fledgling stages, data storage and disseminationare ripe to mature in the upcoming years. Such an evolution is crucial to science.

His second category referred to ways to handle diverse groups of people in theclassroom. YI104 chose to not include his diversity statement in his teaching portfolio because hedid not like it and felt that diversity was more of a service responsibility, rather than explicitlyrelated to teaching diverse groups.YI104’s diversity views were greatly influenced by a childhood experience.

The toast experiment presented here is a good in-class demonstration to motivate discussionof radiation heat transfer. After students attend lecture(s) on radiation, they return to thelaboratory for more extensive experimental investigation.
