Student evaluations of the course indicated unanimously that theyenjoyed the hands-on experience and they felt that they assimilated a substantial amount ofnetworking knowledge. In addition, they obtained a valuable amount of hands-on networkexperience that gave them confidence in their networking abilities.Feedback from the Computer Science Department advisory board, consisting of communitybusiness members, stated that they feel that the students can be hired to be trained on other Page 2.15.4 4network operating
dwindled to the point where it was canceled for one quarterjust two years ago, and had only 12 students enrolled during two offerings in the 97-98academic year. This paper describes the reincarnation of this course to make it compelling forstudents not planning to major in nuclear engineering, and then the advertising that has proveneffective to significantly increase enrollments. Success is currently being measured by having21 students enroll for Fall 1998 and 28 students enroll for Spring 1999. The goal for the 98-99academic year was to serve 50 students. The goal for future years is to serve a minimum of 100students, teaching the course twice per year.IntroductionNuclear Engineering at The Ohio State University is a graduate only program

Teachers have developed new teaching materials, which are nowwidely used in the educational process and mainly in the training of high school teachers. Neweducational technologies used in the implementation of programs are successfully incorporated intoin the main educational process. Among them – lectures given by foreign partners of the project, inperson as well as in the form of video lectures, audio presentations, recurring to pools of knowledgefrom the client enterprises' and program partners' databases; in-built consulting, etc. Thepreparatory work also includes

In addition, one can see the natural evolution of the course since it was first taught. The projects demonstrate the application of CAD knowledge acquired in the freshman Engineering Graphics course where SolidWorksTM has been taught recently. However, because of the wide applicability of CAD, projects from many other courses (such as Introduction to Engineering, Kinematics and Mechanism Design, Machine Design, and the Senior Design Clinic sequence) are emphasized (although not all of them are showcased) as well. Finally, because of the success of the Engineering Graphics course

The Lab charges virtual $ for each experiment to teach students that theyshould not run experiments indiscriminately, and then awards them virtual $ for correct answers.The Budget Report records the history of each quiz. Students must turn in their data, analysiswork, and a copy of the Budget Report which contains an authentication code. These quizzesincorporate the features Pavia9 lists that should be exhibited by a laboratory simulation.It is interesting to observe a new group of students start to use the software in a computer lab.Doing homework in the Lab is much different

Research skills, and increasingly teaching ability, have been coreto the graduate student curriculum, and match the majority of faculty tenure requirements.However, preparation for the service requirement is often overlooked at both the graduatestudent and faculty level. While a small part of the overall tenure package, there is an unspokenpresumption that faculty members will be able to serve effectively and efficiently. In STEMcurricula, the development of interpersonal skills is often overlooked. While this may not be animpediment in research communications, faculty

Wireless technology coupled with pen-based computing technology that is suited for analyzing and solving engineering problemsprovides an ideal venue for these interactive teaching and learning methods to be applied to alarger, more traditional lecture setting. This study focuses on how Tablet PCs and wirelesstechnology can be used during classroom instruction to create an Interactive Learning Network(ILN) that allows real-time student assessment and assistance. The ILN is designed to enhancethe instructor’s ability to solicit active participation from all students during lectures, to conductimmediate and meaningful assessment of student learning, and to provide needed real-timefeedback and
Freshman CourseMuch research in recent years has verified that an active learning style approach to freshmanengineering design courses adds value to undergraduate engineering programs and improvesretention rates. Many universities have established First Year Programs to coordinate theactivities and classes for first year students. However, not all universities have the funds toestablish programs separate from disciplinary programs. How can faculty that are not assignedto a First Year Program efficiently manage multiple sections of a hands-on course with limitedresources?There are several models for teaching basic engineering concepts in electrical, mechanical,chemical, computer, civil and system engineering to freshman engineering students

laboratories can no longer accommodate afull class. Instructors, accustomed to small, intimate class sizes where they could learn everystudent’s name within the first week, are now facing larger groups where students can easily slipinto anonymity.In the past decade, teachers began incorporating more active-learning activities and hands-ondesign projects. The freshman-level courses, in particular, benefitted from this change inphilosophy. Now, it should be noted that, at TU, freshmen select a major as they enter theuniversity. The introductory classes are discipline-specific and each department teaches theirfreshmen. In chemical engineering, the freshman year has a two-course sequence.

Laboratory sessions included creation of a product description, NC pattern machining, casting ofdies, injection molding, inspection, and testing. Students worked both individually and in teams. They beganwith brainstorming and had batches of products ready for testing two weeks before semester’s end. Futureofferings will include more active leadership through tasks, more review of important concepts from sciencecourses, and clearer communication of expectations.INTRODUCTION With the marketplace becoming increasingly competitive as notions of mass production and a serialdesign process have given way to lean, agile production and concurrent engineering
