Think about the time you spend in class and out of class, like working or studying. Howwould you say the two balance out?ResultsStudying vs. Completing AssignmentsStudents divided the idea of studying into two categories. The first was completion ofassignments, ranging from homework assignments to laboratory reports. The second wasstudying for the purpose of understanding the knowledge discussed in class in order to be readyfor tests and examinations.Some of the students’ comments give a sense of how the idea of completing an assignment is notnecessarily considered ‘studying’: “[In] my Math class, I

processes are thetwo refined categories for composite manufacturing. The common method is usually implement-ed in laboratory practice as manually hand-laid composites [12-17]. During the manufacturing and machining, such as curing, cutting, trimming, drilling,transportation, fastening, and assembling processes of composites, some surface damages andfree edges are formed around the composites, which may cause premature failures and lower theservice life [1]. This study addresses some of the surface damages and free-edges of fiber rein-forced carbon fiber composites using specific adhesives and fabrication techniques.2.

This causes a significant difference in the incomingstudent’s ability and self confidence related to this course.Teaching and Learning PhilosophyCentral to the teaching and learning philosophy of this course was that a significant componentof the course would be learned and experienced through computer laboratory sessions. With thisin mind, the typically 12-week duration course was set to have 1.5 hours per week of lecturesand 3 hours per week of computer lab sessions. The lectures would be undertaken in a singlesection and would typically have an enrolment of approximately 100 students. Each of the labswould have a maximum size of 45 students, typically requiring three lab sections, which

The long term objectives of thiscourse is to provide a learning opportunity at the School of Technology which will result in aresearch activities focused on FPGA design, this research would provide more in-depth trainingfor senior students and engage undergraduate students in applied research opportunity at SoT

This interface is made possible using J-DSPMathscript capabilities and provides an effective way to utilize several functionalities across bothvisual environments. The motivation for providing this feature is to enable students to accessimportant LabVIEW modules and functions and particularly tap on powerful real-timecapabilities of LabVIEW that allow to acquire and process real-time signals. This interface hasbeen tested by students in the Digital Signal Processing laboratory.2.

emphasizedeclarative learning, memorization and recall.2, 3. When there is an emphasis on memorizationand not application or content understanding, retention of students within the math and sciencebased majors becomes problematic.4Recently, the engineering field has begun to incorporate learner-context teaching such as case-based instruction and other problem based learning methods in the classroom. Since World WarII, many educational reforms have been made in the field of engineering based on the idea thatunderstanding concepts in a meaningful context and understanding the science behind thetechniques learned in laboratories was an essential part of student learning. More recently,various reports (e.g., Engineering Education for a Changing World; Engineering

Under these conditions, B.S.E.students are required before the beginning of the junior year: (1) to develop for approval theirindividualized program plan, and (2) to select one of several course “stems,” which provides asequence of related courses to an employable-skill level (a senior-level engineering course with adesign and/or laboratory experience).

Several undergraduate lab assistants worked on thetask of preparing a categorized set of circuit project plans for the Hobby Shop and compilingthem into a library that was eventually made accessible to students late in the fall of 2005. Eachproject included schematics, a brief description of the use of the circuit, its functionality andapplication limitations. Also, several short talks were given to freshmen classes across campuswith a focus on engineering students in particular. The project was promoted and potentialparticipants were

Thus, the reactor facility represents a perfect scale model of a modernindustrial plant with many of the same components and energy transport processes that can befound in any plant. This facility is rather unique within the educational community and it has thepotential to provide a wide variety of educational opportunities and real-life learning experiencesthat are not readily available at most institutions.This paper first describes the physical plant layout and main system components and discussesthe overall web-accessible reactor laboratory system that has evolved over the last few years.

alternative to TiO2 in Gratzel-type solar cells.Conclusion “Application of Nanotechnology for Batteries, Solar, and Fuel Cells” is one of thetargeted undergraduate courses developed to highlight the potential of nano-materials in theenergy area. Integrated lecture/laboratory format is adopted to allow this three credit hourscourse to cover the following topics: introduction to the basics of nanoscale science,technology, and engineering. The approach of this industry-responsive course is to offerproject-oriented modules which are consistent with the ASU Polytechnic mission ofcombining academic content with latest industrial practices. The modules offered in thiscourse place broad exposure to the scientific and engineering principles along with
