Secondly thereare existing private industry and government agency resources available to the university inthe northern part of Alabama, in particular, Huntsville, that may reduce the need forownership of laboratory equipment; i.e. streolitography equipment. Huntsville, Alabama is atown where numerous high tech industries and government agencies coexist. A number ofprojects from these industries involve projects in manufacturing that may be suitable forjoint investigation and training between industry and AAMU. This joint research interestbetween the AAMU and industry will create a bridge that would close

significantadvantages over hard-bound textbooks. However, the students can not pursue a thought theymight have about the subject material and ask a "what if" type of question. Interactivity hasgenerally been limited to the programmed responses of the software such as answers to multiplechoice and true/false test questions.To provide greater student involvement, projects are underway to allow individuals to remotelyoperate actual equipment (47-49) and perform simulated experiments through a web browser(50-59). From these web sites, students perform laboratory work and are actively involved in thelearning and discovery process. For example, with the “virtual piston” at Rensselaer PolytechnicInstitute (50), students change operating conditions, watch reactions

opportunities to “create and do” rather than those which tell them “how thingsare done.” Courses belonging to the latter category often do not capture students’ interest. Digitalsignal processing, however, does precisely that. It can be developed within a real-life engineeringcontext with real-time applications and design projects, thus leading students to establish a directexperience with the subject rather than taking the instructor's word for it.The DSP lab at Cal Poly is developed with the above objective in mind. It supports experimentswithin the real-life context, using discrete mathematics as a tool and not the goal. It emphasizesinterfacing with the real-time world of analog signals and systems.

Evidence that may be used includes, but is not limited to the following: student portfolios, including design projects; nationally-normed subject content examinations; alumni surveys that document professional accomplishments and career development activities; employer surveys; and placement data of graduates.Of considerable concern is the assessment process. This is a measurement of the "outcomes"of the program to assure the objectives of the program are being met.
