Such an opened and multidisciplinary design project requirescareful preparation and the implication of students, faculty and experts. This presentation aim atdescribing the organization of the RoboToy Contest, to get other universities interested in suchrich and fruitful initiative for all.I. IntroductionIf we want engineering students to learn how to be good engineers, we must put them as close aspossible to real challenges similar to the ones they will have to face during their career. At theUniversité de Sherbrooke, in addition to the co-op training program, we are dedicated to makestudents work on

How To Assess or How Not to Assess … That is the Question Christine Masters, Sarah Rzasa, Jill Lane, Richard Behr The Pennsylvania State UniversityAbstract Many innovations are taking place in engineering classrooms across the nation. Buthow do we decide if an innovation is achieving the desired outcomes? Most engineering facultymembers are interested, even eager to make improvements in the way engineering concepts aretaught in their courses. But many, if not most, have little or no experience in formal educationalassessment. Hopefully our experiences in assessing a new innovation incorporated into the largeenrollment statics course at Penn State during the Fall of 2004 can

The students of the numericalmethods course come from various backgrounds and not all of them feel comfortable withprogramming. We feel that this has impacted negatively on the students’ perception of themodule. Nevertheless their overall interest in the subject was positive, even though most of themfound it challenging. One has to keep in mind that the purpose of the module is to make studentsaware of Machine Learning and its potential of solving engineering problems, with the ultimateintent of convincing some of these students to register for the Current Topics in MachineLearning I (where the learn a lot more about Machine Learning) and eventually to register

Why put here and not there?”5 Asking these types ofquestions take our students “back to the basic design process, which itself begins withquestions as engineers and designers struggle to identify and prioritize the problems thatmust be solved.”5Site Documentation: TechnologyThe sketch provides a “no tech” approach to site documentation, a methodology that canbe used anywhere and any time.

of the measurement systemsthey are using in junior and senior level ME lab experiments than they used to.V. Challenges The course is intended to be taken immediately after the circuit theory course, so that thebasic concepts of DC circuit analysis in general and op amp circuits in particular are reasonablyfresh in the students’ minds. Because CPE 240 is not a pre-requisite for any mechanical orindustrial engineering courses besides ME lab, students who are behind will often chose CPE240 as the course to postpone. It has been observed that students who have not studied circuitsin the past year find the course very difficult. (The basics of circuit theory are reviewed in classon an as-needed basis, but very quickly.) The School of
