To accomplish this, the industry wouldprovide funding/grants for undergraduate projects to be included in theelectromagnetics, RF circuits and wireless communication courses. This projectcould also lead to a master level thesis and could be a part of the graduateprogram in electrical engineering. The industry would then benefit by hiring thesegraduates with expertise in this area.Bibliography:[1]Khan, A.S. and Karim, A, 1997.

No one knows if the engineers will really need all the coursework, that theyused to take in our conventional engineering schools, before entering the workplace. In thisrespect, students should master a wide range of skills in order to fit the rapid changes in theworkplace. Also, they should be able to distinguish between science, mathematics, physics,engineering and technology. They should know the differences between the roles, functions andprinciples of these subjects.2.

Projects depend on available resources (faculty, industry, private initiatives),as do the evaluations of the projects (faculty, industry panels, combinations.) Most structuresinvolve various levels of homework and class participation, with a major emphasis on theperformance of and reporting of a single design project. The production of a prototype isgenerally preferred over a feasibility design. Expectations are dependent on the level of thestudent, thus a masters level design project would be expected to involve a higher degree oftechnical sophistication and completion.Session 3: How are projects solicited, managed, staffed, - what works?

This approach frees time forinstructors to emphasize concepts instead of procedures and helps students to master theunderlying science of their engineering disciplines with greater confidence and efficacy. Thispaper presents a comparative study between a traditional approach to teaching engineeringphysics, and an innovative approach that uses the computer software EES (acronym forEngineering Equation Solver), to convey concepts and principles of physics by minimizingmathematical manipulation and computational burden associated with the practice of problem-solving.

Active Server Pages (ASP) technology allows the designer to harness the interactive and dynamicnature of the Internet, and take advantage of its information and data. ASP combines HTML, Scripting Languages,and Components, which are familiar to students, and relatively easy to master. VBScript, in fact, has a 'basic'language derivative, and therefore is relatively quick for students to understand and pick up. This ASP module hasbeen utilized for electrical engineering sophomore students, but could be readily adapted to other students for web-based applications as well.

While at graduate school therotating faculty pursue a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering and then proceed toUSMA where they participate in a six-week summer teaching workshop preparing them for athree-year tour as an instructor.

The four-course minor grew from this course.The courses in the minor are key skills for an engineering manager or an engineer working in ahigh technology, project-driven environment.

But while students cannot be taught“writing” in general, they can be taught to manage particular writing styles, which are definedby conceptual assumptions about truth, presentation, and audience. Writers can master a style asthey master a context or series of relationships: What can be known? Who is trying to say whatto whom? How and why? In this approach, people learn style within a specific context as abyproduct of decision-making, not as a catalogue of surface features.If Turner and Thomas are correct, then the more that students understand the basic
