While this integrated approach to introducing control-flowstructures has been successful, many students have been confused by the large number ofdifferent addressing modes.

Typical graduate engineering curriculum consists of a set ofcore courses which address critical competencies needed to enhance technical skills, followedby course technical electives in a concentration area. However, most of the programs aredeveloped without any direct involvement or collaboration of an external industry. As a result,the specialized programs are not effective.Curricula structured around traditional disciplines can be easily developed without anyindustry involvement. However, trans-disciplinary programs in specialized fields can beenhanced by harnessing industry collaboration. By bringing

Social Justice and Humanitarian Engineering Workshops: Juan Lucena and Jessica Smith of Colorado School of Mines presented the first workshop that focused on incorporating humanitarian perspectives in classroom activities. A second workshop delivered by Caroline Ballie emphasized the nexus between engineering and social justice. The objectives of the workshops were to develop an understanding of the barriers, mindsets, and ideologies that get in the way of integrating humanitarian engineering and social justice in the engineering curriculum and strategies for how to overcome

While the Chemical Plant Design results wereobtained from small sample sizes of 4 teams per cohort, and therefore not statistically significant,they provide an additional indication of a lasting impact from the Fall 2005 improvements toSophomore Clinic I.

The course is not designed to teach additional technical content,but rather to give students opportunities to integrate the content learned across other courses intoa single project. Because of this, students are required to have two engineering scienceprerequisite courses completed before taking the course, an introductory controls systems courseand a microcontrollers course.

Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology Abstract Sum-of-Products (SOP) expressions are two-level representations of Boolean functions consisting of an OR sum of AND terms. There exist many methods of SOP synthesis, but the Karnaugh map method is the most frequently taught in undergraduate curriculum. Unfortunately, most traditional approaches to teaching Karnaugh map-based SOP minimization are not very engaging for the learner. To increase student engagement, game-based approaches to teach- ing are increasingly being used to supplement traditional teaching methods. There has been limited research into extending such game-based teaching ap- proaches towards SOP minimization with Karnaugh maps. This paper pro

As a result, students are much more capable of applying the workplacecommunication skills, learned in the classroom, to their job. 4Although across-the-curriculum applications have met with much success, it is widely noted that“what constitutes an effective communication differs from discipline to discipline and fromprofession to profession.”17 Discipline-relevant content is believed to motivate learners andprovide the contextual use of discipline-specific vocabulary.18 This
