(SEM608)The innovative approach here is to have the teams design games, create and play them(demonstrate) game that would demonstrate one or more of the sustainability 3 Es.This approach served and supported multiple purposes. The project needed to be practicalenough to demonstrate in a game. As the teams developed the projects from concept and movedtowards implementation, they also needed to think about what and how to design anddemonstrate the project objectives in their game. In other words, teams were not designing agame totally independent of the subject matter involved in their project. Their project needed tosupport the course learning objective(s) – so this becomes an integrated approach. The gamesapproach also bring in some ‘randomness

Often when thestudents are in a co-op role they believe they have very little power or influence upon the businessor co-workers and this exercise explores ways, even as a co-op, they can practice effective use toachieve their goals. To learn this, students participate in an exercise using role-play scenarios wherethey are asked to think about effective methods to use power and influence on others. We ask thatthey take into account the different bases of power including coercive, legitimate, expert, reward,referent, informational and connection. This exercise gives students the confidence they need toemploy this new skill in their co-op experience.The last element of the curriculum covered is

should be theprimary goal of engineering educational institutions. An important and effective part ofengineering education is the design process. Many, if not all, engineering programs require asenior design project in which the students apply their undergraduate coursework to a discipline-specific design challenge. While senior-level design is the capstone of a student’s undergraduateeducation, the authors believe that design education should not be restricted to the final year.Instead it should be integrated throughout the curriculum and follow the development of thestudent. Additionally, effective implementation of design education should be unique to thecurrent technical level of the student. At the freshman level, design education should

This presents an innovative way to improve the state of the art in AV andteaching of DSA, as no project previously has tried to integrate AVs with text and assessment tothis degree. A module roughly corresponds to a section (a couple of pages) in a traditional text-book. A typical semester course might include over 100 modules.

The questionnaires are used by faculty to create student schedules.

Since the roles of theother organization members were more limited, their views were excluded. A further-reachingstudy could be conducted to assess the impact on the university students, 8th grade students, endusers, and other organization members. Finally, it is possible that the COR was perceivedprimarily as a faculty member rather than as the client, and a different community partner wouldhave had a larger impact.Further integration with the end user could be implemented. Ideally, an international SL projectincorporates the end user regularly to ensure
