accreditation. To supplement this plan of action, a minor, adouble major, or even a masters degree in architecture is suggested. To implement a planof education in preparation for a dual career, a student at NC State would need to meetthe 126 hour credit requirements for a degree in CE as well as an additional 15-18 hoursfor a minor. If the plan of action included a double major, depending on cross over creditsbetween the two four year plans, it could take a student anywhere from six to eight yearsdue to the extreme differences in core requirements and emphasis at the undergraduatelevel of architecture. A double major would include 47 cross over credits (humanities andsocial science, math natural science, language proficiency, and English

The team structure wassuggested by the instructor as follows: • team leader • secretary: help leader, manage documents, web master, write testing programs • architect and representative in the contest committee • integrator and representative in the standard committee • tester and representative in the quality committee In the first lecture, each student was required to submit a resume of relevant background,including a list of familiar tools as shown in Table 1. Some students thought their skills werebetween two categories (for example, used and familiar) and did not choose either in thetable. C and
technologies will become our masters ratherthan our tools. The first two authors presented a paper in 2005 that dealt with that issue4.The authors of this paper are certainly not the only ones who have reflected on the issue ofmentoring. The next section describes some recent work done by others.Previous work done by othersPeer mentoring is the first kind of mentoring we would like to discuss. Peer mentoring occurswhen tenure track professors provide advise and support for each other. There are two ways thiscan be done. Younger faculty can write papers and make presentations describing theirexperiences to try to help other young faculty who may be facing the same situations. Thisenables the faculty member to benefit by presenting/publishing his work

Third, they can drive institutional change byrevealing the concepts that students have not mastered and pointing at new methods that mayfacilitate the teaching of these concepts more readily. Our preliminary experiences and resultsshow great promise for this valuable assessment tool.Bibliographic Information1 Systematic Engineering Education Reform: An Action Agenda.

Engineering Course: Voluntary Programs for Mobile Source Emission Reductions1. Introduction A course in air pollution control engineering offers many opportunities to incorporateanalysis of public policy because federal and state environmental laws affect many aspects of anengineer’s work in ameliorating air pollution. Mastering landmark command-and-controllegislation such as the Clean Air Act has traditionally been a part of air pollution controlengineering courses. Voluntary programs, however, are gaining importance as innovative toolsto reduce emissions beyond what can be achieved through traditional regulatory controlstrategies and deserve space on the syllabus. I therefore incorporated voluntary programs into anair pollution control

” laboratory experiments are a strong complementto the course theoretical content. These types of labs have a very well-defined, deterministicoutcome which reinforces basic inherent skills that the students need to master. Many professorsare comfortable with this approach since the outcomes of the lab experiment are well defined andcan be assessed and evaluated with very clear guidelines.However, this does not exploit the laboratory experience to its fullest. Students get the Page 11.503.3impression that the experimental environment is very similar to the classroom environmentwhere homework problems and tests have explicit answers given the problem

Part of this low performance can beexplained by the very thorough and demanding rubric we used. Few students would givesuch complete answers as we had on the rubric. The questions with particularly lowperformance have pointed out to us areas where either the quiz needs to be revised(remove questions not well covered in the course material) or where our curriculumneeds to be revised to address more thoroughly difficult topics.In addition to giving our

It isimportant to understand and master this strategy before attempting to solve any problem.In a nutshell, the virtual work method simply consists of three major steps and one strategy! Tobe more helpful to those who wish to compare the features between the virtual work method andthe traditional method, the following seven illustrative examples are chosen for pedagogical pur-poses and are arranged in increasing level of challenge. In particular, Example 1 presents a paral-lel comparison between the traditional method and the virtual work method. Naturally, teachingof the virtual work method in Statics is usually

Student Response and Lessons LearnedThere is no truer statement than the following: If a CAS is to be experienced in a lab setting, thenprecise and well-crafted exercises and projects are essential. Students having unpleasant CASexperiences are not likely to enjoy the extra effort needed to master it. This desideratum isdifficult to achieve. Almost any variety of instructional modes is suitable for inclusion of a CAS.Faculty preparation time and enthusiasms are important contributors to the success. Overall, theinitial use of CAS in a course requires a lot class preparation than the traditional way of

business environment and students need exposure to these team types as partof their education. Students in our programs should have an awareness of the types of teams andhow they function in an organization. Common team types found in the literature are: Functional teams perform specific functions in an organization. Sometimes they are called department teams. These teams have members from the same department or work area who meet regularly. Individuals relate to a specialty or focus he or she has mastered, with everyone working toward achieving goals outlined in the company’s mission statement. A manager holds the primary responsibility, with subordinates reporting to this person. Often, these are permanent
