these databases allow recruitment effortsto continue year-round. In addition, past participants, faculty acquaintances, and collaborators onother projects, have been valuable source of quality applicants.The applicant pool tended to range between 30 – 60 individuals who were selected based on theiracademic record, a narrative essay about their motivation and goals, and on a letter ofrecommendation. The applicants were first arranged into two groups, target and non-targetapplicants. Each pool was then ranked against others in that pool. It has been found that GPA is akey predictor of success and benefits of undergraduate research, but this factor has a much higherimpact for students at the junior or senior level.8 Thus, a holistic approach was

hope is to bringalong the technological innovation to the region and create additional jobs and economicdevelopment for the region.Having these centers owned and controlled by the university, like teaching hospitals that areoperated by medical schools, provides a great opportunity for advancing engineering education.Consequently, it is no surprise that some (though not as many as there should be) colleges ofengineering have taken advantage of this opportunity. These colleges have established aninternal internship program through which engineering students are hired as part-time interns andwork as a full fledged engineers on projects contracted with the industry. Although theadvantages of operating these centers in terms of the quality of

development of an understanding of the problem from the client’s perspective as wellas an analysis of solution alternatives.Unfortunately, in many cases, the software engineering course is offered late in thecurriculum, typically at the senior level. This makes it difficult for students to apply theknowledge that they have learned effectively on capstone and other academic projects.Students often comment that it would have been “nice to know this” before making thewrong decisions on their capstone projects. Thus, to be successful, components of softwareengineering need to be taught earlier in the undergraduate curriculum. This shifting to anearlier level, however, poses pedagogical issues.This paper describes the metamorphosis of an undergraduate

In addition, the implementation of theseamplifiers in a small package size (within a metal enclosure) provides an excellent avenue forexposing students to printed circuit board (PCB) layout and prototyping. One benefit of thesecircuits is that they can be used with an input device (guitar) and an output device (audio amplifier)and students can physically observe (and hear) the results of their design. One particular benefit ofthis approach is a greater understanding of frequency response characteristics, as students are ableto hear the results.In this work, several lab projects were

Open source software technology depends on collaborative work among people from all over the world, therefore, students in developing nations can gain their experiences while they are contributing to open source projects and earn their degrees while they are at their home county and no need to travel to study abroad. Schools can utilize STEM open source for teaching that leads to build robust education for students and help build their future and move out of poverty.In this paper we discuss Open source as tools and applications to enhance students learning inSTEM education.

The mechanism is to developinteresting, team-based, hands-on educational modules that can be incorporated into existing courses. Thefocus is on associate degree programs in Engineering Technology, but a major thrust also goes towardsecondary school programs that might lead into associate degrees, and many of the modules could apply aswell to four-year engineering and technology programs. Four independent teams began late in 1994 to develop the modules that were the de] iverable itemsfor this grant.
