Withmentorship from the technology transfer officers and interns, the students evaluated both theneeds they were identifying in their own clinical shadowing experience as well as thosepreviously designed and housed within the university intellectual property medical technologyportfolio. Commercial potential was evaluated by the students themselves with the goal to gaininsight into the process that their future senior design projects would eventually undergo at theconclusion of their senior design experience. Both immersions were vital to the collection

While one student felt that the values of her writing class werepositively echoed in her discipline’s collaborative coursework, others lamented the few explicitopportunities to formally practice technical communication as an engineering value outside oftheir writing classes. In effect, these students felt that any additional quality that a student’swriting brought to a project or assignment outside of their writing class was not recognized inrubrics or grades. This lack of explicit curricular value for writing disappointed students who’dinvested effort in their writing classes. Three students noted that they made a personal point oftransferring the skills and standards of their writing class to other coursework, but they felt thatthey

First, web services leverage thepowerful communication paradigm of the web and the ubiquitous HTTP/SMTP transportprotocols. Services may be accessed globally and via firewalls. Web services also providea lightweight approach to offering and reusing software applications. Unlike traditionalsoftware libraries that need to be downloaded and included in a project package, webservices are invoked by exchanging well-formed messages on the Web. Nothing butclient-stubs needs to be included in the project package. The user-side burden can befurther relieved when invoking RESTful services, where REST design pattern is

As a result, there has been interestin hybrid learning techniques such as “flipped” learning7 where online lectures are used to open-up time for more meaningful activities in the in-person sessions (e.g., discussions, case studies,projects, problem solving sessions, etc.). Arguably, the flipped approach does not require anonline component – as Cussler8 notes, “flipped” has existed for many years in the form of out ofclass preparation (e.g., reading a play prior to class) – but recording lectures for students prior toclass, does provide a convenient way to free up the in-class time for other activities.The verdict is still out on
