This method retained the 1-5 scale and rewardedconsistent ideas (e.g. an idea that scored all 3’s is more innovative than an idea that scored two1’s and two 5’s). Once scoring was complete, we calculated the mean (out of five) and standarddeviation in each category and for overall innovativeness.ResultsStudents identified 26 unique solutions to the design problem.

Seeing everyone as a professional actually has theeffect of demeaning the true professional, who has sacrificed considerable time and money toacquire expertise in a field that s/he has made a lifelong commitment to.Professionalism according to the LiteratureThe literature defining professionalism is rich, varied, and contradictory, constituting a body ofknowledge in itself. A brief tour of selected books and articles reveals a definition ofprofessionalism that counters the popular notion, one that for many students is foreign territory.While sociologist E. C.

A psychological tool in sociocultural discourse is virtually anyinstrument connected with conceptual thought—calendars, the computer, maps, mechanicaldrawings, and works of art to name a few. One’s mental functioning is tied to the cultural andsocial settings in which the individual masters the tools s/he uses to help reason through asituation. The tools become carriers of the sociocultural patterns of knowledge, which theindividual actively engages and at the same time influences.Some recent research on problem

These pencil-and-papertechniques are then translated to computer solutions via TK SOLVER. Exposure to TKSOLVER provides the student with needed familiarity with the computer and helps to preparethe student for FORTRAN programming. Although 'C' is also offered by the EF department,FORTRAN is the language used in our introductory courses. FORTRAN is a high levellanguage and moderately easy to learn. The learning of a programming language by our studentshelps reinforce the logic and step-by-step approach required for all engineering problem solving.The use of subprograms -- subroutines

computer contains afinite amount of storage, there is a finite (although large) number of states that the computer canassume, thus a computer can be formally and abstractly defined and represented with a finitestate machine of the form M=[S,I,O,fs,fo] where S is a finite set of states, I is the finite inputalphabet, O is the finite output alphabet, fs:SxI->S, and fo:S->O. Another and generally moreaccessible way to define such machines is the visual formalism of a directed graph called a stategraph or more often a state-transition diagram (or state diagram for short).Generally, a transformational system is specified by a transformation or function, so that aninput/output relationship is usually considered a sufficient specification.

Next, the sinusoidis sampled at 18000 samples/s. The two sampled signals are plotted on top of each other to seethat no aliasing has occurred. The signal is played to see if any audible difference can be heard.Finally, the sinusoid is sampled at 3000 samples/s, and plotted in comparison to the signalsampled at 36000 samples/s.
