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

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.

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.

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.

Instructional methods for successfully implementing complex software into an entry level course will be suggested.

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
