student.First Class Meeting - Anxiety ReductionAt the very first class meeting, the instructor tries to remove the anxieties of first year Circuits(affectionately called “Snircuits” by the instructor) students. Many of these students, especiallythe non-majors, are quite intimidated by Electrical Circuits even at the most fundamental levelbecause they can‟t “see” what‟s happening before them. A significant portion of the non-majorsare taking the course for the second time and / or have avoided taking it until they are upperclassmen increasing their anxiety ever further. In the first session, the instructor does not review the syllabus, etc. To some of the students thesyllabus is the only subject at the university that is more boring than the subject of

stages.Fortunately, both ABET and ATMAE accreditation procedures are amenable tonew/innovative programs, although the former’s requirement for the existence ofprogram graduates defers its accreditation decision until this requirement can bedemonstrated. Given that the ATMAE’s process does not have this requirement, theadvantage to the department is that there will not be a period during which any newprogram(s) might not be accredited.Based on the experience of the past years, it seems appropriate to recommend thatcolleagues considering multiple accreditations do pursue that path despite the resourcedemands in terms of faculty time, technology and money for professional development.However, the advantages of increased purposeful and collective reflection

educating future professionals with engineering principles integrated with practical experience. Twelve programs in the United States offer four-year bachelor degrees in general Engineering Technology (1). General Engineering Technology degree programs offer an interdisciplinary platform. In addition, many discipline specific engineering technology degrees are offered at the bachelor‟s level. For example, ninety-four ABET accredited programs offer bachelor degrees in Electrical Engineering Technology in the U.S.A. Similarly, sixty-six and six ABET accredited bachelor degree programs are offered in Mechanical Engineering Technology and Industrial Engineering Technology in the United States, respectively (1).

Technology (ETEC), with at least 50 sustainingenrollments of 200+ students in fall 2010 according to ASEE data. On the other hand, since the1980’s only about 14 institutions have created master’s degrees in ETEC. Some M.S. programshave evolved from Master of Science in Technology (M.S.T.) or Master of Technology (M.T.)versions. One fundamental question posed in the debate is whether ETEC curricula rise to thenecessary scientific rigor of traditional M.S. degrees. This paper asserts that the M.S. in ETECshould stand on equal footing with M.S. programs in any other field and particularly inengineering when viewed from the perspective of (i) the scientific level of graduate ETECcourses; (ii) the roles that ETEC graduates perform in the engineering

classroom engagement and its effect on student performance.The emergence of Web 2.0 and SNT as a dominant force for communication and interactionamong various groups of people has led to discussion among the academic community regardingwhether or not these technologies are actually effective within the classroom setting. Whileeffectiveness in regards to classroom performance has not been successfully determined and stillexists as a gap in the academic community’s knowledge of Web 2.0’s effect on higher education,there are parallels that exist between using online courses and Web 2.0.

Of the 20-30 high schools in the region,there were four PLTW schools, so he started there. His first contact at each school was generallywith the principal, then with the PLTW teacher(s).He built a recruiting presentation, and started visiting the schools. At one school, the largest inthe region, the PLTW instructors set up large assemblies of students (PLTW classes, physicsclasses, etc.) so he could speak to hundreds of students in a single visit. At the other schools henormally spoke to one or two PLTW classes.Although it has a recruiting component, the presentation itself

E-Clock™’s primary purpose, of course, is to keep and display timethrough the use of LEDs. As shown in Figure 3, the LEDs were arranged in a row and columnmatrix so that only 15 digital signals (12 X and 3 Y) are needed to control the state (ON/OFF) ofup to 36 different LEDs. To create the effect of up to three LEDs being on at the same time, thecontrol software strobes the Y signals for a short period of time. Each light is turned on for aduty cycle (that can be varied) at a frequency of approximately 250 Hz. By varying the dutycycle of the Y signals, the intensity of the LEDs can also be
