andprescriptive guidelines. Updating some of these codes has included developing a methodologyfor an integrated quantitative risk analysis. Initially, the main objective is to establish a risk-based decision tool, which specifies important safety requirements of road tunnels (e.g.ventilation systems). Although insightful studies have been performed which analyze theforemost discussion of tunnel specific risks (fires in tunnels), the analysis methods are not verywell developed yet. In addition, risk analyses of other events remain almost intact.SummaryIt is believed that to improve living conditions and minimize environmental impacts,infrastructures can be placed under the ground. In addition, our investigation reveals that currentstatus of tunneling

content totheir curricula that directly supports education in those fields. Students were also given theopportunity to interact with an off-campus client, which provided an additional uniqueexperience that is not typically found in the classroom. This interaction allowed students tofurther develop their project management and communication skills. This paper will describe theresults of the project, assess the methodologies used to educate the students and review theimpacts of this approach on incorporating novel content into an engineering curriculum.IntroductionHow can students be taught new ideas in emerging technologies in a timely manner? This is achallenge many universities face, incorporating novel content into their curricula

and apply results to improve processesdefined by performance criteria. The Department Curriculum Committee met to review theperformance criteria, and it was decided not to make any changes at this time. However, theDepartment Curriculum Committee asked faculty to make student performance on the criteria aspart of their grade for the activity. The Assessment and Institutional Research Office was alsoasked to provide a seminar and workshop for the CET Department on how to integrate lablearning outcomes to Program Outcome 3(c).4. ConclusionPort communication is intended for people who are interested in the field of computer science,computer engineering, computer education, electrical/electronic engineering or relatedengineering field.

Teaching Error Correction to Core IT Students via Video Supplementary Instruction MAJ John Syers Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science United States Military Academy, West Point, NY 10996AbstractThe introduction to programming can be very difficult for students, particularly those who haveno IT background. Understanding and correcting syntax errors is an integral part ofprogramming, yet this topic is often given only perfunctory mention in course curriculums.The goal of this study is to determine whether providing supplementary instruction to students isan effective means of teaching error correction. It also
