If we fail to stop the problem in the classroom, our students begin to believe thatsmall dishonesties will not be noticed and, in fact, are OK in the future. It is up to us to make thechanges so that honesty becomes the norm in later life.Bibliography1. Whitley, B.

Z80 was selected for the CPUrather than an 8086 for several reasons. First and foremost, the 8086 is no longer manufactured.Second, the Z80’s clock is DC-coupled, allowing students to single-step through instructions fordebugging (the 8086 requires a 2 MHz minimum clock speed). Third, the Z80 is a popularprocessor among hobbyists and in industry and is supported by a rich set of peripheral interfacecomponents and projects. Fourth, the Z80 provides completely independent data and addressbuses; on the 8086, the lower eight bits of the address bus are multiplexed with the data bus,which students can find confusing. In addition, since the Z80 is based on the 8080, Z80instructions are very similar to basic x86 instructions. As an added benefit

Clearly, without proper team structure even initiallyenthusiastic and highly motivated team members can later come to believe that no one owns theproject and that no one cares about their success or failures. When no one is accountable toanyone then no one is responsible for anything.The likelihood of a successful team throughout the project and the team’s performance at thecompetition significantly improves if the students feel that their advisor(s) is genuinely interestedin the project.19 This interest and caring, on the part of the advisor, can successfully bedemonstrated in several ways, even when the faculty advisor allows the students to run their ownproject.

One of the fundamental concepts of andragogy is the conceptthat adult learners are more inclined towards self-directed learning than their youngercounterparts.12 Dating back to the 1930’s, education pioneers such as John Dewey recognizedthat ‘all genuine education comes about through experience’ and this is echoed by modernliterature that emphasizes the need for adult education programs to capitalize on this lifeexperience that adult students bring to the classroom (p.162).

both of these problems (i.e., numerical methods in two-dimensional heat conduction and transient heat conduction through semi-infinite mediums) have traditionally been challenging for students and an objective of the FE learning modules is to provide an alternative insight for students that will ideally make these topics easier to understand. The problems for each learning module are summarized in Figs. 1 and 2. The steady-state problem (Fig. 1) was adopted from an exercise at the end of Chapter 4 (“Two-Dimensional, Steady-State Conduction”) of Incropera et al.’s textbook6, while the transient, semi-infinite medium problem (Fig. 2) was adopted from an exercise at the end of Chapter 4 (“Transient Heat Conduction

They wanted presenters who could relate to them giventheir limited exposure to the field of engineering and their lack of professional experience.
