integrate what they had learnton the course. In ordered to foster ability in design a section on graphical communication wasincluded early in the course (second exercise). The exercises are shown in the exhibit 2 for thepurpose of clarification. Clearly there have been many developments since it was designed thatwould have to be incorporated in a revised course, as for example - 3D printing. The course didnot include practice and experience with electronic circuitry as for example “breadboards”. Page 24.375.8 7Mini Project Purpose(s) – Materials and Method

promote the purposes ofcommunication. Communication would become for students something that would allow them tolearn more about what they know. Professors while teaching would also be involved in thelearning process. All involved would benefit. As one writer put it, “I think mentors should berole models, BUT a role model who hasn't forgotten where s/he came from, how s/he got towhere s/he is now and always looking back to see if s/he can help those that came from the verysame place.”3 Everyone has had to write, and engineering faculty continue to have to producetext throughout their careers. By taking their own travels through communication as a means toget engineering students to look at their own tasks, a bond can form that allows for
well.AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to thank Briana Dorie for her feedback on this paper.Bibliography[1] C. J. Atman, R. S. Adams, M. E. Cardella, J. Turns, S. Mosborg and J.

seems to be one that uses both types of exercises: non-real-time and real-time. Withregard to non-real-time exercises, it’s clear that interactive learning, exercises, and demonstrations to stu-dents using off-line methods are very useful for helping them to build an initial mental model.2–6 However,taking the next step by requiring students to make the transition to real-time DSP implementations has beenshown to cement a more complete understanding of DSP topics.7Since the late 1990’s, the authors of this paper have reported on proven DSP teaching methodologies,hardware and software solutions, and various DSP tools that have helped motivate both students and facultyto implement real-time DSP-based systems, and thereby improve education in

As theinstructor has likely studied the subject in-depth and taught it many times it can be difficult forthem to recall what was confusing to them when they learned it the first time, while the studentsin the course can be keenly aware of where confusion is arising. Peer tutoring is a practicewhich takes advantage of this to improve student learning by having students learn from otherstudents. It is important to note that peer tutoring can be accomplished in a variety of ways andTopping1 identifies ten dimensions which can be varied depending on the specificimplementation used: 1. curriculum content covered by peer tutors 2. number of tutors and tutees 3. tutor and tutee year(s) of study – tutors could be from same year of study or
