It is interesting because of the multimedia capability and theability of the students to make something happen with audio signals. Also, discrete time signalsand systems are used increasingly in a wide spectrum of applications, such as; instrumentation,telecommunications, medical, automotive, control, graphics/imaging, military, consumerelectronics, industrial, voice/speech etc. This will help students get an idea on how and wherethey can use it. For that reason it should be introduced to students early because it would help inrecruitment and retention of electrical and computer engineering students.

As Moustakas (1994) outlined, the four-stageprocess of phenomenological data analysis was employed to examine the interview data: epoché,horizontalization, imaginative variation, and synthesis.The first phase, epoché, occurred throughout the study as the researchers bracketed theirindividual and collective beliefs, values, assumptions, and experiences of mentoring in academia.This phase is integral to researchers taking an open and honest look at themselves to account forand mitigate potential researcher bias and data misunderstandings that could interfere with thedata collection and analysis processes

This paper posits that the application of structural knowledge in design studio is essential to an integrated design approach and as such, the structures curriculum should be directly linked to individual studio projects. Through analysis of the structural debates listed above, the paper discusses flexible curriculum components and multiple half-term courses to suit the needs of individual student schedules and correspondence to design studios. It also discusses strategies toward developing studio links that reinforce the design of structural systems from the concept phase of a project.Structures and the ArchitectArchitects do not strive to

Building on the earlier work at Texas A&M, Rose-Hulman developed anew sophomore engineering curriculum—the Rose-Hulman/Foundation Coalition SophomoreEngineering Curriculum (SEC) [7].

In 1989 while at the Software EngineeringInstitute of Carnegie Mellon University, Watts Humphrey introduced the notion of the CapabilityMaturity Model to describe the state that existed in software development organizations. Itincludes the concepts of “levels” of maturity and “key process areas.” Many organizations haveadopted this model now referred to as CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) and usedit to guide their maturation process. It is a framework that allows an appropriate, matureapproach to software development to become part of the organization’s culture.
