In addition, Harold can takeadvantage of the water “power-up” item, which is found scattered through the levels, totemporarily increase his adhesion. Finally, Harold can lure enemies onto rough surfaces, whichdecreases adhesion, making it easier for enemies (or Harold) to be pulled off the ceiling and fall.

At Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, the College ofEngineering has adopted an “Introduction to Engineering Course” that is required of all freshmenmajoring in engineering. The course is described as a “lecture-laboratory course” that “allows Page 13.614.2students to work with hands-on projects that will teach the usefulness of mathematics and basicengineering concepts.” Another goal is to have students “better understand how fundamentalprinciples of science and engineering are useful in the profession.” An additional dimension ofthe work at SIU-C is to have students perform basic math computations with data

13.943.16ConclusionThe software tool was designed to help students in solving problems related to electric machinesand power systems. The information and data collected from the surveys were analyzed andused for the assessment and evaluation. Students have responded favorably to and expressedtheir satisfaction in the developed tool. I believe that the media based instructional tool offerssome advantages such as it is a completely learner-paced, it can be followed easily, it does notrequire a great deal of time or effort and the learner does not have to be at a specific time andplace to use it. In the course, Electric Machines and Power Systems, it is no longer necessary todevote additional classroom or laboratory time to provide and solve examples; students can

Thesefactors are also how we define much of our classroom dialogue in all forms of electrical andcomputer engineering.Driven by demands for smaller, faster, and more extensive circuits, MOS device dimensionshave been reduced to sub-micron levels [1]. At these sizes a few volts of potential producesextremely high electric fields, a factor that is both beneficial and problematic. The highfields are what enables the desired qualities of the MOS device. But the high fields also pushthe analyses well beyond most of the simple physics, which has its laws and roots in low-field laboratory benchwork. So classroom descriptions of the

Fortunately, our curriculum is strongly project-based and includes several hands-on projects that back up theory. Page 13.1013.14 2. The estimated ability to concentrate on a problem for 30 minutes or more is encouraging in the light of comments about “generation Y” having a very limited attention span. Thirty minutes should be adequate to set up most homework problems and to solve many textbook problems. Although students may be

It demands strenuous efforts and experts to intercede with stories, admonitions,or principles when students fail, as they must, if they are to learn. Most of the learningthat results in the expertise of the practicing scientist, engineer, or poet is accomplishedthrough hands and minds on a task.
