E4 cancreate the vehicle necessary to educate and equip this motivated workforce of undergraduatestudent teams so they are not only able to apply the technical skills and knowledge they havelearned, but to augment their education by engaging in the entrepreneurial process. It isconceivable some of these students will continue in masters level work while they assistNEWCO in commercializing the product/system their team developed. These same studentscould

The FrancisCollege of Engineering provides education to approximately 900 undergraduate and 700graduate students with about 72 full time faculty members. The Department of Civil &Environmental Engineering has 9 full time faculty members and offers degrees at the Bachelorsand Masters levels. In the past decade, the department has typically enrolled 120-250undergraduates at a time in the four years of the undergraduate program. The Civil andEnvironmental Engineering program is ABET accredited and requires students to earn a total of128 credits leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering with a major in CivilEngineering.Identifying Community Partners and

time. The clocking scheme can be more relaxed, as in multi-phase clocking or a system of several clocks all derived from a common master clock, whichallows state changes at controllable times in the system operation. The extreme case is the casewhere there are no clock signals to tell the system when to change state. This is theasynchronous finite state machine case, and is the most general approach to sequential circuitdesign.Each relaxation of constraints on the clocking scheme used in a sequential circuit createsadditional concerns that must be addressed by the circuit designer, generally regarding detailedtiming of state transitions in the circuit. The strictest system, synchronous design, frees thedesigner from concern about all but the
including in the course presentation, a tree structure, giving equalimportance to the kinds, operations, forms and properties of numbers, has conceptual advantages.The tree structure separates these concepts but highlights their interaction in the solution ofquantitative problems. The visualization of the tree structure together with an understanding ofthe important concept of forms may aid students in mastering the subject.The study of numbers is unending and so this roadmap cannot be exhaustive. Still it can providea framework for introducing the study of numbers. Page 11.1323.2What are numbers?Numbers are symbols, which can convey information

In engineering education these traditionally includethe understanding and mastering knowledge and skills of the subject matter, understandingthe context of the subject within professional engineering discourse, development ofcommunication skills, instilling skills in teamwork, developing autonomous and reflectivepractitioner with social awareness of the impact of engineering practice, and instilling skillsfor life-long learning. In common with many curriculum designs the course structure derivesfrom Bloom's 3 hierarchical knowledge taxonomy of learnt (memorized) knowledge, itscomprehension

, monitoring,debugging and evaluating [10, 20, 24, 25].In engineering practice, researchers have found significant differences between novices andexperts in their application of metacognitive skills. For example, expert engineers were able toanalyze situations, apply strategies and monitor themselves better than novices [21]. Importantly,metacognitive skills can be taught. Engineering students can become experts by methodicallylearning metacognitive skills. For example, by mastering metacognitive skills, engineeringstudents within diverse contexts improved applied problem-solving skills and increased theirreflections about their learning [3]. Thus, providing opportunities for engineering students tocultivate metacognitive skills within curricular and
faculty themselves and the perceptions their institutions have of them. Givencurrent findings, we anticipate a large and concerning gap between the two sets of beliefs.AcknowledgementsThe author thanks Blackburn College's Faculty Research fund for sponsoring this research, andAnneliese Darow, Jalaa Hoblos, Kate Lockwood, and Laura Wiedlocher for their assistance.Bibliography[1] R.
