Demonstrate creating waves with a waveform orfunction generator and observing them with an oscilloscope. Connect the wave properties withvisualization of the waves. Let the students explore sending and viewing waves and takingmeasurements of waves. Have the students build a circuit with an LED and resistor (220 ohm) powered by thefunction generator and figure out the amplitude and frequency that can make the light appearflickering. Have them drive the frequency higher until the light appears continuous. See if theycan determine our visual frame rate limit. Give each student a

U.S. Data was drawn from the ASEE data mining tool over a threeyear period (2010-2012) for 186 colleges of engineering. A non-dominated set of 24 efficientengineering colleges was identified and compare with the set of less efficient colleges. Therelationship between the level of funded research and PhD production is the same for theefficient and less efficient programs. There is a marked difference between the efficient set andothers in the relationship between BS and MS production and funded research. In the lessefficient programs, there appears to be no relationship between the number of degrees grantedand the amount of research funding.

Longitudinal EvolutionThe course curriculum for the sophomore Leadership Foundations course was adapted andevolved from a popular, senior-level elective class offered by the college. The course was Page 24.874.5originally developed and taught by a trio of motivated professors with an interest in engineeringeducation. The focus of the class was on moral and ethical engineering leadership and provideda context for that leadership in the global environment. As a pilot program, in 2010, additionalinstructors for the class were recruited from several departments around the college. Studentinterest in the class was already high, and sections of
