to be expressing the positionthat significant improvement in the processes of teaching and learning in school can be achieved. ” In engineering education, industrial advisors sometimes indicate the need for engineers to be capableof good teamwork. The increased use of collaborative learning may be an appropriate response to thatneed. By the time the fall semester started, this instructor decided to try the idea of having learningpartners in an engineering class. The class was Introduction to Digital Systems, in the Computer Scienceand Engineering Department of the College of Engineering of Penn State University. The course was givenat the Berks Campus.Pairing There were 14 students taking this course, so seven pairs were

The developer has access to the features used to develop WebQuizzesTM but not to the features used toaccess and modify student grades. The administrator access level is analogous to the UNIX super-user and hasaccess to every feature of MallardTM. Since the administrator access level is a superset of all other access levels,this section will describe the features of the administrative access level.

area to cover. The main complaint heard from EET facultyregards the lack of text books written for the technologist who will support equipment. There aretwo main reasons for this shortage. First, there is a very small market to sell potential texts.Only a handful of schools offer this specialty and most publishers would like to sell largenumbers of books. Secondly, medical technology is rapidly evolving; it is difficult to keep a textbook up-to-date. As a result, without a text book as a guide, many potential instructors shy awayfrom teaching a class in this area, even when they have the necessary expertise.A second issue relates to hands on experiences for students on medical equipment. TraditionalEET programs are built around laboratory

EDUCATION AND TRAININGAbstractCombining teaching, research, and engagement has always been a goal of EngineeringTechnology faculty. Finding “real world” applications which can be implemented at theundergraduate level has always proved challenging as well. One method of achieving thisis to define an application area which can be managed by responsible faculty and whichcan be broken into small enough tasks to be suitable for completion by succeeding yearsof undergraduate students in their capstone design activity.At Western Carolina University and Florida Institute of Technology, a project has beenundertaken which is achieving many of these goals. The Kamikaze AutonomousUnderwater Vehicle (AUV) is currently under continuous

With thissoftware, students could easily create, edit, and modify digital concept maps.Throughout the 16-week semester, students learned eight topics, corresponding to eight textbookchapters, in Engineering Dynamics [14]. Four topics were on particle dynamics, and the otherfour on rigid-body dynamics. After the teaching and learning of a topic was completed, eachstudent developed a concept map for the topic. Students were provided three to five days toconstruct their concept maps after class. At the end of the semester, each student had created atotal of eight concept maps covering eight topics.Questionnaire surveyAt the end of the semester, a questionnaire survey

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

databases (OODB). Usingan OODB allows a developer to store objects in the database as objects rather than mapping their data into a relational structure [2]. Asecond approach, usually referred to as the Object-Relational (ORDB) approach, has required modifying or extending the relational modelto allow complex data to be stored in the database. This is accomplished through a data structure called a user defined data types (UDT)[3]. Many of the ORDB concepts have been incorporated into the SQL 1999 standard [4].2. BACKGROUNDOur teaching experience indicates to us that most students understand relational database concepts quite quickly. But, understandingObject Relational and Object-Oriented database concepts is more challenging for many of them. It

The paperdiscusses the two approaches to teaching architectural engineering (from the architecture schoolsand from engineering schools), how well curricula satisfy ABET accreditation criteria, and whatthe current distribution of coursework indicates is the priority of architectural engineeringeducation.
