For some of EE110’s lab experiments, it isnecessary tomeasure bothcurrent and voltageat the same time.Consequently, twometers are needed:one to measurecurrent and anotherto measure voltage.In other words, oneadditional digitalmulti-meter isneeded for thestudents.The myProtoBoard accessory board, shown in Figure 1, was selected to connect the NImyDAQ hardware. The myProtoBoard allows for easy use and to provide breadboard space toset up a variety of circuits. Students also need to have a component kit to do a number of labexperiments in the course. The ELENCO COMPONENT KIT, CK-1000 was selected since itprovided various resistors, capacitors, semiconductors, LEDs, inductors and wires.Based on the specification of NI myDAQ,labs from the on

Franklin D. Roosevelt criticized engineeringschools for not doing more to train engineering students in social and professional skills.56 Anumber of leading engineering schools including Carnegie, Cornell, MIT, Purdue, and Yale didrevise their programs to include more non-technical courses.In the late 1920s, SPEE began organizing summer schools in an effort to improve teaching andencourage curriculum development. The 1932 Summer School, which was held at Ohio StateUniversity and the Stevens Institute of Technology, focused on English instruction. One of thesessions was devoted to “Teaching Literature in Engineering Colleges.” The instructors includedH. S. Leach, a librarian from Lehigh University.57In 1933, Columbia University began requiring its
andexpectations for the profession). Today, after the launch of EC 20002 and the Engineer of 20203,negotiations between the culture/utility function continue. Leyden and Schneider recognize EC 2000’s Criterion 3 as an important driver in thechanges in FYC programs, and as an important factor within the culture/utility debate. They notethat of the 11 abilities specified for graduating engineers, only 4 of them are primarily technical.They divide the abilities in the following ways1: Engineering programs must demonstrate that their graduates have a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
PD (professional development) experience took place in December. I created a unit to team teach with our 8th grade science teacher, Holly. She was very excited about the experience. I shared the lesson plans with her and secured all necessary materials for the unit. I taught the first class and then we team taught the next 2 classes and then she taught the last class on her own. She felt confident by the 4th class. My second PD experience took place in May. I shared BD (another rural teacher in program)’s MagLev unit with Holly… I told her I would help her in anyway except I could not be there to teach the unit… We are planning on meeting this summer to plan a life science unit and maybe more
feasibility of distributing large softwareengineering projects across the academic curriculum, Tvedt et al. [12] propose that students fromdifferent courses collaborate by taking different roles in a simulated software factory, and Walkerand Slotterbeck [13] explore the teaching of large scale teamwork in a small college environmentby using multi-semester, multi-course projects that require students to work together in teams.The objectives of Fenwick et al.’s, Tvedt et al.’s, and Walker and Slotterbeck’s work are broad andrelated to bringing an entire curriculum closer to real-world software engineering practiceswhereas the objectives of the work reported in this paper are focused on knowledge and skillsparticular to software project management.3

lead women to think that they are not a fit forcareers in engineering. The authors describe several ways in which women have differentexperiences from men, particularly in confronting sexist environments or supervisors. Inaddition, particularly for women, the authors write, a boring or mundane internship can leadstudents to question whether they belong in engineering at all.The accounts presented in this paper add to this story by highlighting the experiences of studentsat and after graduation. One caveat, however—our sample is somewhat different from Seron etal.’s in that they followed engineers through their undergraduate experience whereas we selectedengineers at career launch (the end of or shortly after their undergraduate experience). In
increase their commitment to teaching may help, but continuing tohire new faculty whose primary emphasis and interests is in research, inevitably doesreinforce existing cultural norms that favor research over teaching.Facilitate and Support Faculty in Acquiring Relevant Practical Experience:Encourage faculty members, particularly the young, to get involved with the practicein their locale, and devise equitable system(s) that allow faculty to gain theengineering experience they desperately need, in order to keep up with newdevelopments in their areas of specialization. Thus asserting the view thatengineering faculty “with practical experience under their belt” would, in general,make better teachers. Administrator (deans, chairs, and decision makers

are paying the most attention to are academic integrity issues. The standards for plagiarism or collaboration on an assignment may be different in other countries. We have put a lot of emphasis on needing to educate this influx of international students that academic integrity is very important here.[26]Several studies conducted in the 1990’s pointed to academic dishonesty and cheating being onthe rise, but found that courses in ethics could reduce the students’ propensity to engage inunethical academic or business practices.[21] All of these solutions, which were focused onstudents, would probably not be able to be put in place by a single instructor or in one course, butrather need to be addressed, supported and
