Bottom line:hands-on-activities based on real-world IT needs using multicore parallel programming in C.Proceedings of the 2013 Midwest Section Conference of the American Society for Engineering EducationOur proposed approach has four major steps: analysis, development, implementation, andassessment. First, industry needs and current courses are probed to determine if a new course isneeded or existing course(s) should be updated. Then, pedagogy is developed and implemented(accordingly). Finally, student outcomes are assessed. Professional feedbacks and studentoutcomes are considered to improve the pedagogy. We envision that in order to fulfill thegrowing IT industry needs, multicore parallel

STUDENT LEARNING THROUGH CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS Tom C. Roberts, P.E., Shagun Sharma Kansas State UniversityIntroductionFrom Fall 1995 to Spring 2013, more than 2,650 students completed a one hour Personal & ProfessionalDevelopment course in the College of Engineering at Kansas State University. The course originatedfrom a late 1980’s series of Saturday morning professional development workshops designed for key stu-dent leaders. The workshops were combined into an elective one hour course (DEN 275) named“STARS” in the early 1990’s. Enrollments were low (10 to 15 students per semester) and decreasedwhen the university changed from semester to hourly

The process of designing/constructing a drive to replace the H2 started Fall 2012; thisdrive will operate with a 380 V bus voltage while supplying 160 A for 20 s and 220 A for 3 s.Currently, a 1st generation BEV motor drive has been successfully tested with a 100 V bus.Tests conducted at a 380 V bus voltage have shown limited success; unexpected heating hasoccurred, leading to thermal runaway. Plans have been made to address this issue with a new380 to 18 V DC/DC converter needed for IGBT drivers and adding liquid cooling.

grades and demographic information alone is not indicative ofstudent persistence. Achieving an additional 10% accuracy by adding the characteristicspertaining to the freshman year offers further evidence that the first year plays an important rolein students’ ultimate decision to stay with or leave engineering. As can be seen in Appendix M,freshman grades and math class show the highest relative importance. Using these factors aloneas inputs to the PNN provides a 75.9% accuracy of predicting student attrition. These findings demonstrate the importance of the math course(s) taken freshman yearand grades received. Given this insight, great focus should be placed on these variables.

What, exactly, are programevaluators looking for as evidence that the students in a program are demonstrating the ability to“design and conduct experiments”?In this paper, an experiential approach to ensuring that students have some training in design ofexperiments is described along with the responses to a student survey assessing their attitudestoward this approach and how they perceived its effect on their laboratory learning experience.BackgroundA cursory review of the topic of experiment design will inevitably lead one to who manyconsider the “father” of the topic, Sir R.A.

we might not need 10 often, itis handy to note that π ≈ 10, with the error on the logarithmic axis being less than 0.6 percentof the distance used to represent a decade (i.e., about 0.022 in for a 4-in decade). So mark π at themidpoint of the interval representing a decade, and mark 2π at 8/10 the distance along the decade.If the axis were, say, the frequency axis on a Bode plot, then marking it in rad/s on one side and inHz on the other is quick and simple, and it allows for perfectly easy conversion between the twounits.Proceedings of the 2013 Midwest Section Conference of the American Society for Engineering Education 6Once it is
