Ward College of Technology, University of HartfordIntroductionOne of the most important functions of an engineering technologist, regardless of specificdiscipline, is her ability to solve real, practical problems. Most of the problems students solve arepaper and pencil textbook problems written by the author of the textbook. Sometimes you willfind troubleshooting problems included in the problem sets at the ends of chapters but, onceagain, these troubleshooting problems are paper and pencil

systems are quietly changing our world — the way we eat, play, work, andlive. Embedded systems are used in a diverse range of products including home appliances, auto-mobiles, toys, and medical equipment. Embedded systems are located at the “front line” wheretechnology interacts with the physical world. These systems measure temperature, motion, humanresponse, and other inputs. They also control motors and other devices, and deliver informationfor human consumption. The movement of the last two decades toward more ubiquitous comput-ing systems will continue and embedded systems will become even more prominent in everyaspect of technology and life [6].

as e-mail continue to have a very important role in the communication between studentsand teachers.What is supposed to be a solution or an improvement in some cases becomes a problem. In manyoccasions, the communication through these on-line technologies causes an excessive demand onthe teacher’s response capacity. This demand is even stronger in Distance Education, as it is ourcase where usually there is not face to face contact.We are developing an intelligent manager able to answer the students’ questions automatically,using the knowledge already available in e-learning platforms as dotLRN, Sakai, Moodle orWebCT; indexed in search engines as Google or Yahoo; in data repositories as Wikipedia or ininstitutional databases (Figure 4

When thiscourse was instituted in the 1970s, the language of choice for solving scientific andengineering problems was FORTRAN. FORTRAN was the basis of this course for manyyears.The current language of instruction is MATLAB for mechanical and civil engineeringtechnology students and C for electrical engineering technology students. The coursefocus for civil and mechanical students remains the solution of analytic problems.MATLAB was chosen because of its friendly programming environment, inherentlypowerful language elements and wealth of useful function and toolboxes.

Due to this difficulty, tapping both individual andcollective capacity are best within the context of professional learning communities (PLCs),which are characterized by shared norms and values, reflective dialogue, de-privatization ofpractice, collective focus on student learning, and collaboration. These PLCs set the foundation,so teachers can begin inquiry into their practice in a new way for increased student learning.The integration of Professional Learning Communities and Project-Based Learning serve toaddress the issues discussed above.
