and computer engineering. This new course is entitled ECE 480—Electrical and Computer Engineering Capstone Course4. It was modeled after the original EE482 course, with some changes to reflect lessons learned while offering EE 482 each semesterover a five-year period.One of the most important lessons learned since EE 482 was first introduced in 1997 has beenthat the area of embedded (computer) systems represents a very fertile framework for electricaland computer engineering students to acquire their major design experience. Analog, digital, andmixed-signal technologies have continued to evolve at a very rapid pace, with a large gapexisting between fundamental topics covered in introductory courses and the integratedknowledge and skills

They, however, do not necessarily reflect a similar growth patternin the quality of education. The fact is that different indicators on the quality of higher educationin Egypt show marked decline. Some factors leading to this decline is external to the highereducation system. They relate to the decline in the quality of High School Certificate graduates

. The objective ofthe course is to expose students to energy efficiency in day-to-day life to save bothmoney and energy thereby protecting the environment. This course provides studentswith the necessary knowledge and information on the main operating principles ofhousehold devices/appliances enabling the appropriate selection of energy efficient, costeffective, and environmentally responsible choices. The course relies on active learningcomponents to enhance the cognition of the fundamental concepts of heat transfer,principles of energy conversion, and thermodynamics. The course successfully generatedinterest in the student population as reflected in the enrollment increasing from 40students in the first semester to 600 plus students per

Study 4: Instructional Multimedia as Support for a Traditional Lecture in Statics (Applied: Class Context)7.1 RationaleStudies conducted for the project such as the games experiments presented above provide strongevidence that the software can serve as an effective alternative to traditional lecture. This isconsistent with other research [18, 19], which indicated that

students' backgrounds from the student perspective as well aspreconceptions based on student opinion. Question topics include those about student majorselection, knowledge about engineering, prior level of physics, math etc., and prior computerskills. In the last week of the semester, the student survey was modified and given to all students.Questions were modified to reflect change in the time line and assess student perspective of thecourse and their knowledge. The surveys were evaluated and compared both within and acrossall sections.There was a 70.5% response to the post-course survey of the 316 freshmen that took ES130 inthe fall semester. Based on the responses received, the results are shown below: Changed engineering majors

to more accurately reflect CFD process and capabilityand accuracy for specific student applications, including comparisons with AFD or EFDvalidation data. The evaluation confirmed that the implementation was worthwhile andpromising, but at same time indicated direction for improvements. (1) Use of differentspecialized CFD templates for each exercise implied different CFD process for each applicationand did not facilitate site testing. (2) Exercises lacked options and depth.

Education”the card they were holding to stand up as I went through the questions. This way the students were notreporting their own answers. The results were quite revealing. Of 54 students in the class: ! 42 said they would report ethical misconduct where they were employed ! 52 admitted to downloading music and not buying the CD ! 40 admitted to downloading movies ! 29 admitted to cheating on an exam or quiz ! 19 said they would report someone they knew was cheating on an examThe class was concluded with a short “quiz.” I asked each student to reflect and write down the twomore important things they learned from the discussion in class. A number of students were surprisedat how wide spread the
