It is important that students be allowedto take this first engineering core course in their sophomore year of the curriculum due to therequirement of the course as a prerequisite for follow-on core engineering science courses. Bypresenting an online version of the course, the number of students allowed to take the coursewould not be limited, thus giving them the opportunity to stay on track in their chosen major.Second, the college has been making a concerted effort for a number of years to advance andincrease online courses through its Distance Education department, with the goals of increasedenrollment, retention, and graduation within the college.

National and Institutional Responses to the Bologna Process: The Significance ofthe Danish CaseThe Bologna Process was initiated through a 1999 ministerial meeting involving the educationministers of 29 European countries. While expectations of professional labor mobilityaccompanied the Treaty of Maastricht, given the financial and monetary-policy orientation of theearly conversations about European integration, an explicit focus on higher education andworkforce development was absent from these conversations. The main concern behind Bolognawas that European universities, despite their reputation, were not producing the quantity orquality of graduates necessary for Europe to “succeed” in the global economy.2Following the general logic of economic

The results from these activities are combined, integrated, and included in a systemspecification. This specification constitutes the top “technical-requirements” document thatprovides overall guidance for system design from the beginning. Conceptual design is the first andmost important phase of the aircraft system design and development process. It is an early andhigh level life cycle activity with potential to establish, commit, and otherwise predetermine thefunction, form, cost, and development schedule of the desired aircraft system.

Barriers to InclusionOne of the most influential reasons that classes do not integrate more writing components intothe engineering curriculum is lack of time. This is addressed in “Adventures in ParagraphWriting,"5 which mentions that many engineering programs include writing education in a“bookended” fashion - in the freshman intro and senior capstone courses. The paper’s thesisindicates that more frequent, concise writing assignments based on course material will providestudents with beneficial exposure. The goal of this experiment was to provide

The courseis required for bioengineering, Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering majors, or chosenas an elective by those majoring in Engineering Physics and Engineering Management. Thecourse selected for this study is four semester credits and was taught over five weeks. Thecourse was taught twice during the summer of 2014 in the first and third summer sessions, withthe first session conducted as a traditional lecture-based course; and the second iteration of thecourse taught using a flipped classroom approach.

Semantic “dissonance”, in the forms of synonymy and polysemy, is frequentlyencountered between participants in related meetings and discussions.Unfortunately the topic of semantic miscommunication is usually not broached until it causes aproject meltdown. This laissez-faire approach can be compared to an information securitymanager ignoring potential virus threats until a machine is already infected.Taking a more practical stance towards the problem, we developed the Termediator software topre-emptively identify potential term dissonance. Termediator has evolved since 2010 from asimple term browser to a multifaceted tool; in its current state it integrates similarity measures insynonymy with topic modeling and clustering in polysemy.The

In particular, the level of abstraction will be significantly less than typically found in Calculus I.This approach stands in contrast to traditional calculus which is more abstract, more devoted to aformally rigorous foundation based on limits and continuity, and lightly dusted with applications.Thematically the revised Calculus I class is focused on three outcomes: - Develop geometric and physical intuition for derivatives and integrals
