Students can include performances through sound and video; they can show multiple ways of understanding through graphical, numerical, and verbal representations of data; they can link these representations one to the next or all at once; and they can provide multiple points of entry for different audiences into the various exhibits 9.CollaborationEnglish 105 is a required second-semester composition class focusing on rhetoric and theories ofargument.

The students will not long remember the facts, but what they will remember is thehabit of probing and trying and working through an idea.Another essay is by Austin Sagat, who teaches law. Since most of his students will not belawyers, they don't really know what most lawyers do most of the time. He gives them a taste oflawyering. He embroils them in a problem.

Some characteristics ofthe newly developed program include: • Civil engineering courses will be taught in a team environment in purpose-built classrooms. • Use of computational tools will be integrated throughout the curriculum. • There will be a focus on multiple acceptable solutions to the design problems. • Engineering ethics and professional responsibility will be stressed throughout the educational process.Curriculum DevelopmentPresented in Chart 1 is the flowchart for the curriculum that has been developed. Of necessity,because of traditional University structure, the curriculum is still composed of individualcourses. This curriculum was built on the ABET

Everything proceeds normally untilstudents start to notice a wide variation in measured strength and ductility, even when the materialis tested at a constant temperature, based only on a difference in thermal gradient. Theunexpected result gets every ones attention, and starts to beg ethical questions. Groups typicallyfeel that they should repeat the test; because the initial consensus is that there was some sort ofprocedural or material problem with that particular sample. At this point, the real voyage ofdiscovery has begun.V. Data / AnalysisThe presence of thermal gradients in most processes requires that true physical simulation mustinclude the

In addition to technical skills, these experiences must also address the areasof communication, teamwork, ethics, and the customer3,4. Many approaches that address theseareas have been developed for capstone design courses5-7. The goal of our course is to provideour students with a rewarding design experience in all of these areas that is focused on exploringand developing real-world applications of mobile communications technologies. Thesetechnologies are rapidly transforming the way in which we go about our everyday lives. Theyoffer heretofore un-conceived ways to do things differently and more effectively.
