The project will enhance the currentstatus of engineering technician education through timely adaptation of content andtechnology, resulting in solid content and pedagogical preparation of AEC associatedfaculty and teachers returning to the engineering technology classroom.3. Project DescriptionBackground - Bluefield State College was established as a Black Teacher’s College byan act of the West Virginia Legislature in 1895 and was integrated after 1954. By the1960's, the college had a comprehensive four-year program of teacher education, arts

overall impact, anevaluation plan was developed by the evaluation Fellow and the Co-Primary investigatorassigned to evaluation. The plan included formative and summative components and was drivenby the goals and objectives of the project.3 The constituents of the grant were identified as thefaculty, Fellows, teachers, middle and high school students, the university, and the state board ofeducation. A sample of the evaluation plan and its components is in Appendix 1. As can be seenin the chart it includes objectives, constituents, key questions, instruments, timeline, person(s)responsible and feedback. This was also organized into a timeline that mapped instruments andmeasures to the goals and objectives. A portion of the timeline can be seen in

. Recruiting and Retaining Key Sponsors Sponsorship is important for funding the organization of the business plan competition, forfunding prizes to encourage participation, and for raising the profile of the Competition andconferring greater credibility to it. Prizes are a necessary incentive since participation in thecompetition, even by students, is optional. While recruiting sponsors for a newly institutedcompetition has to be based on promise, retaining them is based on performance. The most likely sponsors are alumni who have a sense of affiliation and loyalty to their almamater. The SVBPC’s principal sponsor in 2004 was Wanda Ginner, a Bay Area resident whowas a student at the College of Business in the 1960’s. She was so impressed with the

A validargument could be made that this positive contribution is enough to justify the use of these typesof visual aids.

The templates ( w aj ' s ) of nodes in the categoryrepresentation layer of Fuzzy ARTMAP can be represented as hyperrectangles (rectangles in 2-D). The meaning of this hyperrectangle is that it encloses within each boundaries all the inputpatterns that chose this node (template) as their representative node (template) and were encodedby it (see Figure 2). This hyperrectangle starts from its trivial size of 0, corresponding to the casewhere it has encoded a single pattern and it grows as more patterns are
