NSF Director Rita Colwell recently said, "...we cannot expect thetask of science and math education to be the sole responsibility of K through 12 teachers whilescientists and graduate students live only in their universities and laboratories. There is no groupof people who should feel more responsible for science and math education in this nation thanour scientists and scientists-to-be." 2 "….We need to…reach out with clarity, explain what we Page 4.456.1do to the public, talk to the media, try new approaches to achieve a more inclusive

should result in change such as adoption of newtextbooks, teaching techniques and laboratory procedures/experiments. It is not theresponsibility of the program evaluator to discover the fruits of assessment; it is theresponsibility of the faculty to demonstrate how assessment has caused changes in the program.Assessment and continuous improvement require a plan of action. To demonstrate that graduateshave achieved desired outcomes, some programs use student portfolios, collecting student workfrom the freshman year to the senior year using a WWW based approach. This tool is useful indemonstrating that outcomes have been achieved. Others use an exit interview for all graduatingstudents that provide important program feedback. This interview is in

We give each student not only the theory but also actualexperience with the projects and equipment that are the "bread and butter" of civilengineering practice. Laboratories in cartography, photogrammetry, surveying and civilengineering are designed to integrate experiences in this new technology.In the area of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), the merger of information fromdifferent sources, often in different formats, is the norm in civil engineering technologypractice, using GIS-based systems.

Students who possess a working knowledge of VHDL or VERILOGhave a real advantage at job search time over students who have not been exposed to theseconcepts [2]. The Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology Department at Arizona StateUniversity has been teaching a senior level undergraduate and graduate course in VHDL sinceSpring 1993. This course integrates the students’ knowledge of high level languages, digitaldesign concepts, and microprocessors. Students are challenged by the course because they arerequired to actually understand how simple devices such as flip-flops work in order to design agood digital model using the techniques of VHDL. Students are given the basics

Integrating Communication Skills into a Mechanical Engineering DepartmentOverviewWith the changes in accreditation through the current ABET criteria, providing adequate writing,graphic, and speaking skills can easily become the second most important issue for engineeringdepartments next to the teaching of the technical skills themselves. As more and moredepartments are seeking accreditation under the new rules, it is vital that varying methods ofaddressing skill acquisition be viewed. The engineering student's already extensive list ofrequirements, in most cases, can not be burdened with more credits, though. This creates adilemma that can only be solved by providing communication skill instruction in as manyengineering classes
