ModulesAbstractIn modern computing and engineering programs, new course materials need to be addedregularly in a flexible manner. The concept of course modules has been suggested as oneapproach to doing this; a course module, which is a self-contained unit of curriculumsuch as a lab or teaching component, can be included into existing courses withoutrequiring substantial course or program modifications. In this paper, the authors describetheir experiences in incorporating new curricula into computer science and engineeringcurricula at their three institutions, including Rochester Institute of Technology, HowardUniversity, and SUNY at Oswego. The relatively new paradigm of Service-OrientedProgramming (SOP) was introduced into their programs using course

Colonel Commander asked the laboratory Colonel if the laboratory couldaccommodate a one or two week laboratory experience for some junior ROTC cadets(Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, STEM, majors) as they traveledfrom the university to summer ROTC training at an Army installation (Engineer School,etc.). This arrangement was finalized and that began a partnership where up to fourjunior year ROTC cadets visited the laboratory for two weeks each summer. Thissummer ROTC experience continued for approximately a decade.Subsequent recruitment visits (led by the civilian laboratory Director) of 1987, 1988,1989, and 1990 met with more limited success.

. Currently,Bachelor’s degrees awarded in mechanical engineering have increased by 67% between 2004 to2014 (14,182 in 2004 to 23,675 in 2014). In contrast, the number of full-time faculty onlyincreased by 23% from 2001 to 2011 at US Universities2. A longstanding and practical approachto accommodate larger number of students with decreasing faculty is to increase class sizeswhich typically favor traditional lecturing over active learning techniques. Active learning improves examination performance and reduces failure rate in meta-analyses across science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) courses whencompared to traditional lecture styles2. Active learning in large studies consists of many differenttypes of interventions including

Laboratories in Albuquerque, NM. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Low-Cost Satellite Attitude Hardware Test BedAbstractRecent technological developments surrounding CubeSats and Commercial Off-The-Shelf spacehardware have drastically reduced the cost of producing and flying a satellite mission. As thebarriers to entry fall, space missions become a viable option for more students and researchgroups. Many of these missions require accurate spacecraft pointing and attitude control.Consequently, exposing students to the practical elements of spacecraft attitude sensing andcontrol is more important than ever. To help address this challenge a novel low-cost test-bed forattitude control has
