Pennsylvania.While the benefits to the students are vital, the impact of a co-op program goes beyond thestudents. Industry can gain benefit by obtaining staffing for projects at a substantially reducedrate (and typically without the benefits overhead). Moreover, by hiring interns and co-opstudents, industry can develop a recruiting system that allows them to make better hiringdecisions than can be done via a resume and interview alone.The benefit also extends to the higher education institutions. An organized co-op program canhelp the institution develop relationships with regional and national industry. Thoserelationships can be valuable in many ways. For example, at the authors’ institution, the industryrelations developed through the co-op program have

projects to those unfamiliar with them, as well as serving as the lead engineer onprojects.Two of five undergraduate subjects referred to a particular experience which discouraged themfrom continuing in the engineering field. One subject experienced a negative first workassignment which ties back to the importance of quality work assignments for engineeringstudents and the importance of feeling like part of the team. This subject mentioned that hergroup “set me up pretty poorly…with how it was run. So that was kind of discouraging because Icould not show up and no one would notice. So I hated that.” She mentioned that she overcameher negative feelings about the group by proactively seeking information from others in hergroup and learning all that

This is increasingly true in modern society inwhich scientists and engineers must address complex, interdisciplinary challenges on a globalscale. While current efforts at teaching interdisciplinary problem-solving at the collegiate-level(e.g., class projects, capstone courses) exist, the effectiveness of many of these approaches areineffective in achieving interdisciplinary learning objectives.

Page 24.1395.3They also report that this improvement was not seen in one section of the FC version of the course;and they attribute this to the fact that the instructor in that section “neglected to utilize modelingand demonstration techniques . . . ”. This, of course, raises the question, which the authors do notconsider, of whether the performance of the students in the projects in the traditional version ofthe course would have matched

The initial four courses—applied quantum mechanics, digitalsignal processing, digital image processing, and convex optimization—were chosen basedprimarily on the interest and availability of the regular instructors to develop online coursematerials. All were graduate courses, though at the introductory level, and therefore open toadvanced undergraduates.Funding for the program came from the University’s recently created Office of the ViceProvost for Online Learning (VPOL), which had requested proposals from departments thatwent beyond single-course projects.

Conclusion and Future Work In this paper, we have tried to create a vivid description of the general physics classroom by reviewing several of the most commonly cited problems that result from the course content and method of instruction. We realize that without having implemented our project in an actual classroom or obtaining any data of our own, we cannot make any new conclusions. However, by describing a broad set of issues as well as simple solutions, we hope to offer the average teacher with at least one new idea to try and use with his or her own students. This process is in the preliminary stages, and we would like to

. Courses are often integrated into these two major fields to allow for some exposure to themanufacturing industry. A paper in the Journal of Engineering Education notes that amovement to move to higher course content on manufacturing in both of these disciplines isneeded8. Many current engineering programs do not emphasize the marriage of design andmanufacturing in a modern industrial technical workforce.Many research studies have assessed the quality of exposure to manufacturing through the senior“Capstone” design project course. McMasters and Lang believe that too few in industry have anunderstanding of how the current engineering education is set-up.
