education requirements are omitted in the interest of brevity).One goal of Enhancing Engineering Talent in Tennessee S-STEM grant is to make it possible forTransfer Pathways students to graduate in two additional years of academic study. This goal has beencomplicated by a significant mismatch between the Engineering Transfer Pathways curricula andLipscomb’s engineering curricula. A student majoring in CE and ME at Lipscomb University (along withmost engineering schools) are expected to have completed a first course in Mechanics of Materials, aswell as a course introducing the student to appropriate CAD tools prior to starting her third year.Lipscomb ME majors are also expected to have mastered basic programming skills prior to their thirdyear

Van Tyne, Virginia Tech Natalie Van Tyne is an Associate Professor of Practice at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State Univer- sity, where she teaches first year engineering design as a foundation courses for Virginia Tech’s under- graduate engineering degree programs. She holds bachelors and masters degrees from Rutgers University, Lehigh University and Colorado School of Mines, and studies best practices in pedagogy, reflective learn- ing and critical thinking as aids to enhanced
environment, and simulation of the jobscheduler in the multiprocessor system. These topics often stimulate senior and graduate studentswho desire to put their theoretical knowledge into practice.We target an advanced operating systems course since in such a course, students often learnabout concurrent processes, communication and synchronization between the processes, as wellas task scheduling and policies. We train the students with parallel programming, load balancing,and simulation issues with simple examples and benchmarks.For parallel programming purpose, the Message-Passing Interface 10, 11 (MPI) library was used aspart of the Beowulf cluster. MPI uses the master-slave paradigm similar to parent-child methodof the Unix fork command. Students

Companies also benefit from the self-reflection that they experience from explaining and discussing their operations with the students. • Industry case studies: Although not as effective as simulated experiences or company projects, industry case studies can still be very helpful in letting the students analyze real systems and understand real-world constraints and complexities. The program faculty members have significant experience interacting with companies directly, and the program has a history of past industry projects tackled by student teams or for student masters projects. Sometimes industry projects where the students visit companies and collect data may not be

The data indicated that the vastmajority of participants were technology teachers in the high school and middle-school range.Over 200 teachers participated in workshops, with 17 and 21 respectively attending the 2sections of the DECS. Over half of the participants held masters degrees. An extrapolation ofsurvey results over the whole spectrum of workshops suggests that about 28,000 students willreceive some component of engineering education as a result of the EOF workshops.1 Someteachers are modifying their instruction to include design elements.

This paper discusses the author’s experience using CAD software in an introductory course in Engineering Graphics to illustrate the problem of introducing a complex computer software in an entry level course. Instructional methods for successfully implementing complex software into an entry level course will be suggested. Problem Statement Engineering Graphics courses have been taught for some time without complex software, so why work so hard to implement it into the curriculum?

questions which were considered of greatest importance showed a statisticallysignificant improvement. In the cases of questions that showed improvement that was not statisticallysignificant, it was primarily because most students had already mastered that subject without the animatedtutorial, leaving little room for improvement. Conclusions The experiment has shown significant improvement in understanding this subject. Given that the animatedmethods do improve the learning process there are some distinct advantages to this approach. The software Page 1.324.3
preparation. Health Education (1 hour) The students discussed the challenge of multiple roles in their lives (i.e. there is an expectation that we will successfully master the ability to fulfill a variety of roles). The participants identified these anticipated roles, became aware of the challenges that they may present, and considered effective approaches. Math Anxiety (1 hour) The students in co-operation with the presenter assessed their feelings about math and the level of math anxiety within individual members of the group. Techniques were discussed to reduce math anxiety, create effective study strategies for math, prepare for math tests, and ways to get maximum results on math tests
