YouTube is a video sharing website that can provide free educational tutorials and instructions on technical subject matter, where students can observe practical human-machine interaction to prepare for lectures and increase overall course performance on exams, assignments, and laboratory projects. Our goal was to compare the overall performance as well as the level of active class participation between two groups of the same computer networking course. We found that the group that used YouTube videos for pre-lecture preparation, consisting of 83 students, scored approximately 3% higher on exams but 5

For each of the projects, there was a significant analysis, design,manufacture, and testing aspect with significant interdependent synergy. Specific requirementswere provided and the projects were essentially fun-spirited design contests with either aperformance index or a class vote determining the best overall project. Two projects were in

Barkley et al.5 listed that "learning to Page 13.35.3listen carefully, think critically, participate constructively, and collaborate productively to solvecommon problems are vital components of an education for citizenship in the twenty-firstcentury". Thus to provide such a classroom environment for interactive and collaborativeeducation and from our previous experiences in designing and teaching in such a classroom, itwas concluded that we needed both a “teacher-centric” architecture to deliver materials fromteacher to students, and also a “collaborative e-chalkboard" where students could

Research and CurriculumDevelopment (CRCD), whose goal is to remedy this shortcoming. In the past two years, we havereported on our experiences of introducing Machine Learning modules in sophomore and juniorundergraduate classes, as well as our experiences of teaching two senior level Machine Learningclasses, entitled Machine Learning I and Machine Learning II. In Machine Learning I weintroduce our research to the students in the class. In Machine Learning II we assign researchprojects to the students and we help them produce their own contributions in the MachineLearning field. One important component of our project is the assessment and evaluation of ourefforts. Last spring (spring of 2005) we have invited a CRCD Advisory Board consisting

Such programs typically involveplacing one or two students at a time. The student travels to an abroad laboratory and conductsresearch under the guidance of a faculty member or post doc, etc.Exemplary ProgramsA number of exemplary programs were studied as part of the survey. Shuman et al. provide anoverview of some of these programs.9 The University of Rhode Island has also compiled a list ofprograms as part of the Ninth Annual International Engineering Colloquium.10 Several of thesewill be reviewed in this section.Of the programs studied, WPI appears to send the largest fraction of students abroad

taught the art of verbal and written communication correctly. Yes, thereare courses that attempt to instill these techniques into the student, but are students really gettingthe point? In fact, are the teachers who are teaching technical communications to these studentsproviding adequate examples and demonstrating proper technique that specifically focuses on thestudent’s future job market? From personal experience, it seems that only the very top studentsseem to be adequately prepared in this area. What about the rest? These folks seem to be fallingbehind the learning curve. This situation may take some time for these students to recover from.In industry, time is money. Only those students who have been prepared properly will advancequickly in
their minds wellbefore students even matriculate. However, as practicing engineers, they will confront thevariation associated with measured data in the real world. A course in introductory statistics canforce students to attend to the concept of variation. Statistics can be defined as the science ofhow to collect, analyze, interpret and present data with the purpose of understanding variation ina system. A key objective of introductory engineering statistics is to have students recognizevariation is inevitable, and teach them skills to quantify the variation and make engineeringdecisions which account for it. The importance of statistics is well recognized in the chemicalengineering community. For example, several recent articles in Chemical

Advance arrangements are made for behind-the-scenes tours of these facilities and to interact with local engineers for discussion of their uniquechallenges. Second, each tour includes an opportunity for students to meet and interact withengineering students and faculty at one or more universities. This includes formal time together(which includes a presentation about IIHR by course participants) and unstructured timeinteracting with each other24.
