Intotal, the PSE stream includes five required courses, two required courses that have PSE-directedoptions, and three elective courses. The next section describes the allocation of topics to therequired and elective courses.2.2 Division Between Required and Elective PSE TopicsWhile, we would like all students to master a wide range of PSE topics, we must be realisticabout the time the students have for PSE in the core curriculum. Therefore, we have selectedrequired topics that are needed by essentially all practicing engineers and elective topics that arewidely applied in

Indeed, of three keyfindings in the National Research Council’s study on how people learn [1], the first finding is theneed to draw out and engage student preconceptions and the second finding highlights the needfor students to understand facts and ideas in the context of a conceptual framework. In short,meaningful learning in science and engineering requires that students master

A master of engineering in integratedmicrosystems degree program was developed so that industry professionals would have afocused set of coursework, while providing flexibility that would permit custom tailoring of thetotal course package to serve specific needs. Distance education dissemination of the courses aswhole courses, or as discrete portions of course materials, was intended to be available; that goalhas been realized. The core courses originate at the University of Michigan (UM), and havebeen distributed to Michigan State University (MSU), Michigan Technological University(MTU), Howard University (HU), University of Puerto Rico – Mayaguez (UPRM), and WesternMichigan University (WMU).

Since SDT focuses on understanding individualmotivation and development in specific contexts, which for this study will be FYEPs, it is anappropriate framework for this work that examines GTAs’ personal perspectives on theirteaching practice competence beliefs. For this particular paper, we will only focus on the need ofcompetence because we believe it serves as the foundation for research on the otherpsychological needs.It is often said that if you can teach something, you have truly mastered it. This notion ofmastery at a fundamental level relates to the SDT component of competence. SDT suggests thatpeople act in ways that satisfy competence needs, and therefore, it is important to understandwhat competence means in

On the other hand, since the1980’s only about 14 institutions have created master’s degrees in ETEC. Some M.S. programshave evolved from Master of Science in Technology (M.S.T.) or Master of Technology (M.T.)versions. One fundamental question posed in the debate is whether ETEC curricula rise to thenecessary scientific rigor of traditional M.S. degrees. This paper asserts that the M.S. in ETECshould stand on equal footing with M.S. programs in any other field and particularly inengineering when viewed from the perspective of (i) the scientific level of graduate ETECcourses; (ii) the roles that ETEC graduates perform in the engineering

Graduates have been successful in manufacturing enterprises that produce virtually every type of product -- literally, from spacecraft to foodstuffs. In addition to traditional courses, Dr. Wells leads innovation teams in two engineering venues: product realization and transforming laboratory research into commercial products.

grades and objectives must first be established.There are at least two reasons that there may be no concrete link between course gradesand course objectives. First, after faculty set up (or are handed) objectives for aparticular course, they may not refer back to them while conducting the course, resultingin assignments and tests which may have little to do with the stated course objectives.Secondly, even if the instructor does teach with a view to the course objectives, it is notunreasonable to find students who fail to master one or more of the stated objectives of acourse yet still manage to pass the course. Further, it is conceivable that even in a classwith a Gaussian grade distribution centered on C to have a majority of students fail

Since 1970, human population has grown 8-fold: itis now approximately 6 billion and is anticipated to peak at between 10 and 15 billion late in thetwenty-first century. The stresses on many aspects of the earth system are strongly influenced bythe needs of the population that must be provided for and by the standard of living thatpopulation desires.
