population segment that has not been served well byexisting engineering master’s programs at the university because graduate classes are often notscheduled with working people in mind. Courses for the BREG master’s degree will be offeredin the late afternoon and early evening so people employed full time can enroll. Besides cateringto an underserved clientele with the non-thesis option, we believe the non-thesis master’s willbolster the thesis-option master’s degree by increasing enrollment in our graduate-level courses,thus making the overall program more viable.We are also exploring the possibility of obtaining EAC-ABET accreditation of the master’sdegree. Such a program would leave open the possibility of developing a five-year course ofstudy

These factors are essentialand significant in successful delivery and access to a robust distance learning environment.Our department at the College of Engineering and Computer Science offers undergraduatedegree programs to more than 600 students. With a current estimate of enrollment of 100students per annum, Senior Design Project is a required design course for all students. Thiscourse is taken during the last semester of the student’s senior year. In this course studentscombine, apply, and verify, in the form of a project, what they have learned throughout theircollege education. Thus, it is a “hands-on” and “minds-on” course and requires the students todevelop, design, build, and test a product, commonly, a device, presumably to be

Spatial ability is defined as theprocesses of constructing, maintaining, and manipulating three-dimensional (3D) objects inone’s mind [1, 2, 3] and considered to have multiple subfactors [4, 5] such as spatialvisualization, spatial orientation, and speed rotation [6]. Research studies that discussed theroles of spatial ability in engineering education have primarily focused on the spatialvisualization, which is the main factor of spatial ability [7]. Some widely used spatialvisualization tests in engineering education [8, 9, 10] include the Purdue Spatial VisualizationTest: Rotations (PSVT: R) [11], the Vandenberg

This paper presentsa unique Phasor Tool Box which facilitates most of the phasor calculations and enable visualizationin the phasor diagrams. The tool box is designed in MATLAB but requires students to have mini-mal scripting background, keeping in mind that these tools will be used by the beginner students inElectrical engineering/Technology programs. This tool box is designed by using object orientedMATLAB programming methods but are transparent to users. Using these tools is as easy as usingconventional algebra for adding, subtraction, multiplication, division of phasors, and additionallyvisualize these operations in the complex plane.

Safety training is also an integral part of creating a culturethat has safety in mind, first and foremost.Recently, universities have started to place emphasis on safety and incorporate relevant coursesin their degree plans. At the University of Houston-Downtown (UHD), students from the safetymanagement program have the opportunity to work alongside engineering technology studentsduring the design and implementation stages of a senior capstone project. Safety managementstudents benefit from this interaction by getting an opportunity to apply their knowledge andskills to a project that attempts to mimic a “real” life process. Similarly, engineering technologystudents become aware of methods to assess risks and procedures that must
