College of Engineering at The University of Akron. TheCo-op program at the University of Akron is one of the oldest in the country and has providedstudents with three semesters of hands-on experience and practical training in industry for manyyears. Students will be paired with industrial partners by area of interest and track. Thosestudents planning on continuing their education in graduate school or medical school will alsohave the opportunity to choose hospital or research laboratory internships to prepare them fortheir future endeavors.MARY C.

The certificate program ininternational business was the template.Self interest concerns eased the process. The College of Engineering has cappedenrollment with about 7% of the total University enrollment, but attracts about 35% ofthe entering students whose ACT score is 29 or above. These high ability students arefound attractive to many of the faculty who teach classes in business. While fromEngineering’s perspective, a formal tie to Business would be desirable in attracting highability students.The Engineering Faculty Council, an elected representative body, reviewed the proposedprogram, made

The Serenade 7.0 PC Software1The University Program of Ansoft Corporation makes the Serenade 7.0 PC software readilyavailable to universities. This software product has proved to be very useful as a teaching aid inthe laboratory and serves as a powerful design and analysis tool for RF and microwave systemsengineers. It can also be used for optoelectronic design. The analytical capabilities are broadlycategorized as linear and nonlinear.The analytical methods used in this product

decided that it must focus on a number of criteria tobecome leaner yet provide students who are able and so desire with greater opportunities foreducational advancement. We recognized that with ever increasing technical change, we couldnot teach everything. We should give the student the best education possible by teaching thebasics of the technological field while giving the student the tools for lifelong learning. Wewould not load the student down with more than the TAC/ABET minimum of 64 credits. Ourassociate’s degree requires many more student contact hours in laboratories than do otherassociate degrees.We would do the following: l develop common core technology courses. l modify upper level courses to reduce the credit load

The implementation results after 2 semestershas shown, on the students, a significant positive impact in 8 procedural and 5 attitudinalcontents established in the Mission of ITESM toward the year 2005. However, for the pilotgroups of 17 (fall 1997) and 21 (spring 1998) students, the instructor has observed a significantincrease in the teaching load compared to the traditional scheme. This is due to the detailedpersonalized formative and summative evaluations for each student and the continuousattendance to the discussion virtual environment such as “the course room”. Further refinementsare developed in order to fit the scheme to the typical teaching loads required for the traditionalcourses at ITESM.I. INTRODUCTIONIn the summer
