of the part.The importance of using CATIA V5 software for technology studentsCATIA V5 solid modeling software is used extensively in the aerospace industry to designaircraft and aircraft parts, and it is important that technology students learn this new softwareearly on and expand their knowledge during subsequent course work. The program is too largeand complicated to master in one course, and if you don’t use the program regularly theknowledge will disappear soon. Our students are required to take an introductory computergraphics course during their freshmen year. CATIA V5 is the program used in the course, butthis course is focused on learning how to use the program1. There is not an output applicationbesides creating engineering drawings
ABET ASSESSMENT USING CALIBRATED PEER REVIEWIntroductionMost engineering programs have some type of capstone design experience. At Rose-HulmanInstitute of Technology (Rose) the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department alsohas a similar set of courses. Therefore, the ECE Department decided to use senior design toassess EC3(g) (ABET Engineering Criterion 3-g): “ability to communicate effectively”.However, we needed/wanted a tool to help us develop our assessment process for EC3(g).The ECE Department was introduced to the Calibrated Peer Review (CPR) [1]. CPR is anonline-tool with four structured workspaces that perform in tandem to create a series of activitiesthat reflect modern pedagogical strategies for using writing

To see if this is indeed the case, the reader should follow with interest thepedagogical innovations that will (or will not) be made at institutions that have adopted a TabletPC requirement for their engineering students (such at Virginia Tech beginning in Fall 2006 [5]).AcknowledgementsThis project was enabled by a HP Technology for Teaching (TfT) grant which provided the HPTC1100 Tablets for student use.

In engineering, the number climbed from 13,705 mastersdegrees and 2,301 doctoral degrees awarded in 1966 to 33,872 masters and 5,776 doctoraldegrees awarded in 2004[2]. Women and under-represented minorities’ (URM) share ofengineering doctoral degrees have increased but members of these groups are stillunderrepresented at the doctoral level.

Usually, technology is being employed directly to “Proceedings of the 2007 American Society for Engineering Education Pacific Southwest Annual Conference Copyright © 2007, American Society for Engineering"support or even drive classroom activities. In my classroom, I use technology regularly to havestudents face themselves. During each class I videotape every presentation of every student.After class I transform the clips into video files and make them available.

. Thus the investment required to set up laboratory classes would be morereasonable.Now that we know we need no more than one setup to actually conduct the laboratory we canthink of offering laboratory courses for subjects such as High Voltage Engineering, ComputerNumerical Control Laboratory or other specialized subjects. Thus laboratory courses can havejust one satellite terminal at the universities or the place of hardware setup and the students canparticipate in the laboratory by remote access using the Breeze Technology. So now studentscan have real time experience with apparatus that are expensive and have strict detail to safety. Page

According to recentstudies4 traditional engineering lecture courses tend to alienate a significant portion of studentswhose learning styles are visually, active, or experience oriented, leaving these students with anincomplete comprehension of the course material.
