a combination ofengineering, science, computer science, information systems, project management,telecommunications, electronics, and quality assurance topics. Every degree program requires acourse in Integrated Technology Assessment, which is equivalent to a “CAPSTONE” course.Where necessary, students are provided access to a “Virtual Laboratory” for gaining laboratoryexperience.Anwar et.al.3 provided an overview of the engineering technology programs at EC, in a paperpresented at the 2005 ASEE Annual Conference and Exposition.

multidisciplinary in nature. Each teamfaced different technical challenges, but completed their portions of the work successfullyand professionally. Teams not only documented their work, they also learned theimportance of the documentation because they had to rely on the materials left by precedingteams. They witnessed the successes of preceding teams, and had to remedy the occasionalerrors made by them as well. The UAV will make its demonstration flight in 2007.Bibliography1.

University of Petroleum and Minerals in Saudi Arabia from 1972 to 1974. He was appointed as a dean at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, directing a joint project with MIT in Iran, after which he returned to St. Louis in 1975 as the associate dean of instruction. He headed the Department of Manufacturing Engineering Technologies and Supervision at Purdue University, Calumet, from 1978 to 1980. He then served for ten years as the dean of the College of Technology of the University of Houston. After a sabbatical year working on the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Wolf became the president of Oregon Institute of Technology. He
address this problem. At Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, the College ofEngineering has adopted an “Introduction to Engineering Course” that is required of all freshmenmajoring in engineering. The course is described as a “lecture-laboratory course” that “allows Page 13.614.2students to work with hands-on projects that will teach the usefulness of mathematics and basicengineering concepts.” Another goal is to have students “better understand how fundamentalprinciples of science and engineering are useful in the profession.” An additional dimension ofthe work at SIU-C is to have students perform basic math computations with data
develop defined competencies. In many ways that will result in a higher level,more focused study of mathematics. Math and Science fundamentals are critical hiringrequirements for today’s technicians; these fundamental skills will be integratedthroughout the curriculum. This may be considered to be an example of “Just-in-time”education.The majority of the online laboratories and course development is expected to take placein 2008 and 2009. Pilot testing will begin in Fall 2008 and conclude at the end of theproject in 2010.ConclusionsAs electronics systems technology develops, its impact is felt throughout all segments ofthe business and service economy. Since it is also the primary driver for higherproductivity, success is a contributor to
necessary kernel modifications including recompilation and patching.Operating System Course FormatThe outline for the operating systems course is shown in Table 1. The lecture material followsclosely to the topics discussed in the course text book Operating Systems Internals and DesignPrinciples by William Stallings.5 However, the laboratory material has been developed utilizingseveral external resources including some concepts from Kernel Projects for Linux andOperating Systems Projects Using Windows NT by Gary Nutt.6,7 Note that each exercisedemonstrates an application of the current concepts being discussed during the lecture portion of Page
programs. “Differentiated instruction, oftenreferred to as universal design, is a teaching and learning style that is the result of neuroscienceresearch on how the human brain processes and retains new information”. 1Introduction“Acknowledging that students learn at different speeds and that they differ in their ability tothink abstractly or understand complex ideas is like acknowledging that students at any given agearen’t all the same height: It is not a statement of worth, but of reality”.2 In a differentiatedclassroom and laboratory, the teacher proactively plans and carries out varied approaches tocontent, process, and product in anticipation and response to student differences in readiness,interest, and learning needs.

noted at that time that the desired learning outcomes were betteraddressed when the students from the various programs worked together. Another course thatwas melded into the capstone course was a production laboratory course. In this course thestudents learned about production methods and had to design a product that they then producedin large quantities. This production class put the students together in a teamwork environmentbut the course was mainly directed towards the manufacturing majors. The capstone, as it existstoday, was created by merging these two courses into a common course for all of theEngineering and Technology majors, and then marrying it to the senior project course for thosestudents majoring in Visual Communication Design
2003. 5 Funding was used to hire femaleadjunct faculty members teaching in the RIT ET programs to work two hours a weekfacilitating the formation of study groups. Funding is also available to hire peer tutors towork with these female students in the study groups, purchase laboratory kits for thestudents who participate in the study groups, and payment of their expenses to attend aregional conference of the Society of Women Engineers. The retention of womenstudents has improved some in the past three years and we found that students who leftET or RIT did so in the first two years of the program. 6Future DirectionsThe College of Applied Science and Technology (CAST) where the engineeringtechnology programs are housed has participated in all of

selective demolition and remodeling course, and a“capstone”-style course in demolition and reconstruction management are planned to round outthe specialization. These three courses provide an opportunity to further address areas that cannotbe adequately covered in an introductory course. The addition of more case studies and field tripswill be beneficial and could be incorporated into the capstone course which likely will include aformal laboratory session. The inclusion of detailed case studies in the capstone course willallow students to gain insight into the information and challenges an owner or developer mustsift through and overcome while generating a pro forma for a project. A significant portion of thecapstone course would be devoted to

He also embraces the need to teach both A-B andSiemens and has joined in supporting the overall plan.This is also a time to look forward and potentially add to the laboratory experiences. Asmoney is made available, future labs will be explored with the Festo lab equipment. Thisis a commitment to enhance the present lab experience while continuing to advance thestudents’ experiences. If one is to dream, continue that dream to a brighter future.Summary:The courses are in a good state of development at present.
