CEEC ’95’s call foraction resulted in the adoption in 1998 of the first version of ASCE Policy Statement 465, whichsupported the “concept of the Master’s Degree as the First Professional Degree for the practiceof civil engineering at the professional level.”5 After further committee work, in 2001 ASCErevised the preamble of the policy to say that ASCE “supports the concept of a master’s degreeor equivalent as a prerequisite for licensure and the practice of civil engineering at theprofessional level.”6 This statement equated “practice at the

Using these coded themes, the authors examinehow the student conversations and questions change over time from the beginning of setup to theend of the configuration period. These coded themes are them examined in the context ofBloom’s taxonomy to see if the students are moving through the cognitive learning process withthis program.Bloom proposed a taxonomy of educational learning objectives which was based on a set ofconferences in the early 1950’s.8 The taxonomy is composed of a classification of variousobjectives which can
: Equivalence (C.A. 1), Couples & Equilibrium (C.A. 21)1 Common Errors: 6, 7, 10, 1117. A 200 N-mm couple acting counter- clockwise keeps the member in equilibrium while it is subjected to other forces acting in the plane (shown schematically at the left). The four dots denote equally spaced points along the members. Assuming the other forces stay the same, what load(s) could replace the 200 N-mm couple and maintain equilibrium?Analysis of Student Responses: Two of the five students responded with the correct answer E.These two students were able to identify that both the force and moment of the selected responseare equivalent to the given situation.Student A: “...it’s a couple moment because it has equal forces in opposite

It has become popular with users needing more speedand memory than the HC11 provides. The 68HC11/12 has gained momentum because of itssimple architecture and instruction set. A large selection of books, sample projects and freesoftware is available for this target. There are readily available kits that bring out all theresources of the HC11/12 as well as support hardware and prototype area.What the authors consider the best CISC architecture as an educational platform for its time wasthe Motorola 68000 family.

To me, joining a leadership program seemed like the next logical step, but I had noidea how much of an impact it would make on my communication skills, leadership abilities, andgeneral outlook on life.Throughout the first three years of coursework in the program, I was continually challenged toreflect on my own personal growth and development. Without the program I know that I wouldhave thought I was „good enough‟ at all of the skills previously mentioned. As soon as thisthought pops into ones head, that is the end of any hope that one can make a difference. I thinkthat is one of the biggest lessons learned through the program‟s coursework.

For example, some British schools host digital music workshopscombining the youth culture of musical “chatting” (British rapping) with music-creationsoftware3. Even before computers were useful tools for creating music, the 1980’s urban Hip-Hop movement provided ways for young people without musical training to compose and createmusic4.Howard Gardener’s theory of multiple intelligences suggests that music may be one way thatchildren relate to the world and learn from their experiences5.
