symposium again for 2008.The reason JUMR is a special opportunity is that it is only for undergraduate submissions. Theguidelines and review process take the students’ level into account. The students are comparedwith their peers, not with others who have significantly more experience. This protocolencourages the students to write and revise their own papers rather than having an advisor orsupervisor writing the paper and adding the student as an author.At the JUMR symposium, the undergraduate student is once again in a session that is forundergraduate presenters. The student is not compared with more experienced presenters andthey have the opportunity to present their work to their peers as well as to faculty and industryprofessionals. The

scheduled for one lecture session and two two-hour lab/workshops per week for a total of threecredits. Consistent with many “freshman support” programs at other universities, the goals ofthe course are to introduce the midshipmen to the “big picture” of the major for context; tointroduce the midshipmen to each other and develop a mutual support network; and, to provide“tools” for success in follow-on courses. These tools include technical writing, critical thinking,design process, project management, computer programming and software, and engineeringdrafting skills. There is a significant project-based learning (PBL) component to the course. Theassignments include both individual and team submittals. The double “lab” schedule allowsmuch of the

In addition to the presentations in front of the class during theproject development stage (for some critical feedback from their peers), students were also required toselect a research paper or technical report in their area of specialization, write a critical report on thatpaper, and then present it in front of their peers. As is usually the case, by going through a cycle ofwriting, reviewing, and editing as would be expected for any research document, students improvedtheir writing skills.

When writing lectures, however, a great deal ofthought and planning is required to balance the amount of detail presented and the need to coverthe material. Also, in some cases the text book only superficially covered material I consideredimportant. In those cases more material had to be included the lecture than might otherwise havebeen necessary. I also found that preparing lecture notes was a skill that improved as thesemester progressed.The most challenging task I encountered was that of writing good tests.
