The mentor is a supporting team programmember student from either Business School students or previous EET/TET project teammembers. The EET/TET undergraduate students will have primary responsibility for theapplication software design. The mentor student will be tasked to coach marketing strategies andbusiness plan development for project teams. Faculty advisors from each college will mentor theproject team.

Some of the exercises and assignments used by theauthor will now be discussed.Chalkboard Sketches and Student Note-TakingThe author uses the chalkboard extensively in teaching courses in soil mechanics, foundations,and structural analysis and design. In taking class notes, students are sketching free bodydiagrams, soil and foundation cross-sections, beam and column cross-sections, and sketchesshowing layout of reinforcing steel in concrete members, and structural floor plan layout andbuilding cross-sections. When presenting material requiring complex sketches, handouts areentirely appropriate, but if the sketch is not too complex, a hand-drawn sketch on the chalkboardis used. This keeps students active in note-taking, sketch preparation

Ultimately, the promotion group must satisfy the needs of their client.The third pedagogical prerequisite is that the students should have a choice in how the tasks willbe accomplished. When students are involved in the planning and decision-making, and feel theyhave some autonomy over the process, they are more likely to make an effort and follow throughon their investment of time and energy.10 Often in a problem-solving type of course the studentsare given the problem by the instructor. They are allowed creativity in how they achieve asolution but the problem is identified for them.

opportunities for students to gain experience with pre-test planning anduncertainty estimation, with unanticipated situations that may arise during tests that mayintroduce measurement error, and with post-test statistical analysis of the derived pumpperformance parameters. As an example, in this experiment flow rate is determined bymeasuring the time it takes for a pump to discharge a measured volume of water at a fixedpumping height. The flow rate is thus derived from measurement of two variables, volume andtime, each prone to sources of experimental error that are easily visualized by the students. Suchtangible examples of experimental uncertainty go a long way in helping students to understandtechniques such as the Kline-McClintock method of

The program began admitting students in Spring Semester of 2011.The curriculum focuses on topics such as emergency planning, incident command, disasterresponse and recovery, hazard identification and mitigation, agency coordination, homelandsecurity, and community emergency training [3].The primary goal of the EMT program is to help students gain a well-rounded skill set that willallow them to succeed in a homeland security or emergency management position. To reach thisgoal, the existing courses in Emergency Management Technology need be enriched to inductcontents of telecommunication, nuclear technology

discussions were two curriculum models proposed as alternatives to“traditional” engineering and engineering technology education degree plans. These aredescribed below as option 1 and option 2. Option 1: Two-Year Pre-Degree Requirement When properly designed and executed, the first two years of accredited, 4-year B.S. degrees in ET disciplines can serve as the pre-degree requirement for engineering-bound students. We submit then that the template for a 2-year, University-level, pre-engineering program is already in place in at least 100 US Universities. If executed, it is envisioned that a new first professional engineering degree can be defined whereby: 1. All engineering-profession-bound students would first complete 2 years completing E and ET

The most unpopular approach with thestudents, but the one that has the highest fidelity with the real world, has been the assignment ofteams by the instructor. The “best” results in our program have been a balance of instructorassignment and self selection through common interest in a specific project. Students select andprioritize the project topics that they prefer and the instructor then matches and forms teamsbased on that selection. In the coming classes, the authors are planning to use the “Teammaker”interview survey provided in the Comprehensive Assessment of Team Member Effectivenesstool (CATME) to assist in forming team based on project preference.

Abstract DeVry University’s Electronics Engineering Technology/Computer EngineeringTechnology (EET/CET) program senior project is a two-semester course sequence in whichstudents synthesize knowledge and skills learned in the previous courses. In the first course(EET-400, Project management), students research, plan and develop a project proposal. And inthe second course (EET-410L, Senior Project Laboratory) students implement the project plan bybuilding and testing a prototype. A typical project involves a solution to a software/hardware-based engineering problem. The process of developing and implementing a solution to theproblem offers a learning opportunity for students to gain new insights and competencies as aresult of “constructivist

The competition's rules structure providesnecessary constraints, and the competition dates, typically late in the spring semester, necessitateadherence to a strict timeline. Participants must prepare and submit a comprehensive designreport that is reviewed by competition judges, typically experienced design engineers. Theymust also make a formal presentation to the judges as part of the competition weekend.
