computer languages that have been developed for use inautomating sequence of ‘computations’. Some older computer languages such as FORTRAN &BASIC (developed in 1950’s) have given understanding to the development of modern object-oriented languages such as Visual Basic, C++ and JAVA. Of course, these are not the onlyknown exhaustive set of computer languages. There are many other computer languages ofspecial purpose significance and are used in select scientific environment.In particular, the students today are taught some computer language programming constructs andthe associated program creation to help solve science and engineering problems, with some built-in graphical user interface convenience. In fact, many schools and college curricula

The next step is to survey women and men students in the ARCE major to discern ifboth genders are influenced by the proximity of the program within the College of Architectureand Environmental Design versus the College of Engineering. Along with focused questionsregarding perceived strengths in technical topics as well as communication and collaboration,existing measures of learning style modes will be used including identify students learningpreferences in relation to the major. Possible assessments include the Kolb Learning StyleInventory, Myer-Briggs Type Indicator and Felder ‘s Index of Learning Styles. We hope toshow why

from it. There is no doubt that it is a great idea toteach a data mining course in computer science curriculum. As you can tell, students taking adata mining course need to have background in quite a few areas to be successful. Not everystudent taking this course may have the background required in all these areas. The question ishow can an instructor remedy the challenge of teaching a group of students with widely-rangingbackgrounds, and at what level should this course be taught. Furthermore, the issue of groupwork arises, specifically as to whether data mining course projects should be accomplishedindividually or as teams.Studies show that many universities are teaching data mining course(s) within their computersscience curriculum.

Students discover the utility of parameter sweeps to optimize theirdesign instead of guessing different values and the utility of their ideal design as astarting point for their finished design. Students were able to use chapters 10 and 11from the SONNET ™ User’s Manual to learn about parameterization. The concept of de-embedding a circuit from connectors and feed lines was introduced. Students readchapters 7 and 8 of the User’s Manual and use SONNET™ ’s de-embedding capability Page 15.850.4during the laboratory exercise.

Because the duration of each student’s timeabroad is roughly one and a half semesters, consisting of one academic semester and part of thesemester break(s), German and American students overlap at both universities. This interactionoccurs both in the classroom and in the laboratory, and facilitates continuity in the researchprojects.The students and faculty have enjoyed early success with this arrangement. Two of thecollaborative research projects have led to publications in a respected materials science journal.The exchange has also fostered further collaboration

Two weeks of in-class time is devoted to eachmodule. Students are arranged in teams of three or four per group with the group assignmentsalternating between self-selected, random or purposefully chosen. The first period of each two-week block is used to introduce the topic, discuss any new analytical or numerical techniquesthat are relevant and, lastly, talk briefly about the broader societal issue(s) that each modulebrings forth. The remaining two class periods then are used by the students to work on finishingthe module. It should be pointed out that though students are put into
