The search for the second tenure track is ongoing. Merging thedepartments also allowed CEE faculty to become part of a program that is involved inundergraduate teaching.

Currently, the authors are working to develop a long-termcollaborative relationship with a fourth Brazilian university (PUC-Rio). For this purpose, bothauthors will lead a workshop on “Methods and Strategies for Engineering Education, CurriculumDesign, and Program Assessment” which will be held at PUC-Rio during April 18-20, 2012.Forty participants from this and other universities are expected to attend this workshop. Theobjectives of the workshop are to: (i) Introduce methods and strategies related to first-yearengineering education, technology in the classroom, curriculum design, and academic programassessment, (ii) Present

. Assessment criteria can include: (a) Whether the problem was accurately defined (the Problem as State & Problem as Understood)? (b) Did the solution(s) solve the problem? (c) Did the student engage in critical thinking? (d) How is the solution going to be implemented? (identify concerns). (e) During student presentations: evaluate the use visuals, and presentation preparation & skills. (f) During group/team presentations: evaluate the quality of collaboration and initiatives undertaken by individual team members.(3) Student input should be part of the assessment process: Use class discussions to evaluate/critique PBL assignments/activities.

fundamentalquestion posed by New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Ronald Rockland.1Indeed, it is very easy to fall prey to teaching students how to simply solve specific problems intheir courses. However, this fatal flaw can be avoided if the approach to problem solving iscentered on a pedagogy of Critical Thinking and Heuristic-based Problem Solving. This is thephilosophy underpinning the Freshman Year Initiative (FYI) at the Irving, TX (Dallas) campus ofthe DeVry Institute of Technology. The goal for the collaborative teaching and cooperativelearning approach is for students to understand and apply a problem-solving heuristic to anysituation s/he may face in their academic, personal and professional lives.

generalized interfacecommand set that supports multiple input and output channels, variable sample rates, varioustriggering configurations, and variable frame sizes. The specific commands available aredescribed in the Appendix. The interface was developed using MATLAB 's “mex” facility andMicrosoft Visual C++, and is centered on an object that encapsulates the hardware interfacebetween the host PC and the DSK. The TI application-programming interface (API) furnishedwith the DSK allows operation under Windows 9x/NT. Our interface software requires that theDSK tools be installed on the computer, and that the two files C6X_DAQ.DLL andDAQ_SIMUL.OUT be placed in a MATLAB-accessible directory. At the most basic level, thisinterface allows a novice user to
appropriate complexity for a given situation. Within this class, separation ofvariables, similarity solutions, and other analytical solution techniques were used as a means toverify the validity of numerical models before using the numerical models on situations whereanalytical methods could not be extended. The impetus in developing this class is that thetraditional tools of mathematical analysis need to be extended to analysis tools and techniqueswhich utilize modern means (PCs and spreadsheets) commonly available to engineers. The shiftis similar to the one that occurred when the slide rule was displaced in the 1970’s by the adventof the calculator.Project assignments were used as a means to implement analysis tools in real world situations.The
