In fact,over-dependence on group work may undermine the learning of effective teaming skills incapstone design courses, in that the cost of learning new skills (Atherton, 1999) (i.e.changing their ways), may supplant the learning of essential teaming skills.II.D. The engineering design processThe Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) has definedengineering design as the process of developing a component, system, and/or completeprocess for solving a particular problem or meeting a need.

Virtual labs can provide remote-access to various disciplines of Science,Technology, and Engineering (STE) disciplines and are a cost-efficient way for schools anduniversities to organize high-quality laboratory work. Due to constrictions on time andgeographical distances, virtual-labs can be used to share costly equipment and resources, whichare otherwise available to a limited number of users.

It is expected that optical science and optical technology will be at the forefront ofdevelopment of new enabling technologies and devices both in the basic science labs as well asin a clinical setting. Thus, several programs around the country, including ours, are activelyworking on course development in the area of Biomedical Optics. At Vanderbilt University wehave developed a senior Biomedical Engineering elective course entitled ‘Introduction toBiomedical Optics’. In this context, Biomedical Engineering is defined as ‘the use of light fromthe far-ultraviolet through the visible into the infrared

like economics, sociology,education, architecture, business, and others.7 The vision as stated would apply to a minor inEnergy Studies, which would be, in turn, quite aligned with a goal to stimulate research andtechnology development toward transformational energy solutions. A long term goal tostimulate research and technology development toward transformational energy solutions willbest be addressed not just by the College of Engineering, but by a campus wide effort.The rationale for RW-E came from students in the trial course in spring 2006 who said that theywere doing more writing in ENGR 101 than in a freshman writing course. When the coordinatorfor the standard freshman English course requirement was asked the question whether ENGR101

Some students also made comments about the need for a hands-on tutorial to learnhow to use the software. Although a lab session was devoted to going over the basics ofMultisim, some students found the handouts and the online tutorials to be a little challenging.This feedback will be taken into consideration to improve this laboratory course.ConclusionLaboratory experimentation is an essential component of a comprehensive learning experience inengineering and engineering technology

From this thought emerged the concept of modular masters, In practice, the modularmaster formula, which the content is mostly composed of courses (30/45 credits), is intended for engineers inpractice who seek a more advanced training in their specific working field. These thematic, and generallyinterdisciplinary or even interuniversity, have a more technological and fleeting content than the traditionaldisciplinary masters. Furthermore, important

However, most REU trainees are juniors and the post-graduateeducation programs for advanced degrees, especially Ph.D. training, can easily spanfrom 3 to 5 years, leading to a much longer period than the funding period of REUprograms.
