In this metaphor, an engineer“tree” can have an infinite variety of branches and leaves, while still retaining a core trunkof design and project management expertise which distinguishes them as an engineer.While the paradigm may sound fanciful, the author uses an example course plan from theCanadian experience to illustrate how this different paradigm can be more receptive tostudent interests, and to industry needs yet still support the foundations of the profession.The proposed paradigm shows that, in accordance with the role of engineers in industry,the ability of design, project management and teamwork are central, while the specifictechnical specialities are supporting “branches”.IntroductionIt is an ongoing enterprise to continue to

reinforcement that the students receive from otherengineering courses with regard to computer programming skills. This project’s goal is toinvestigate whether significant, formal, well-designed reinforcement of the programming skillsoutside of traditional programming courses will lead to students more proactively using theirprogramming skills in situations that would benefit from their use. Five modules have beendeveloped and tested during the first year of the project. In this presentation, we will discuss thepreliminary results stemming from the use of these modules in our undergraduate courses. Thisproject is being funded by the Division of Undergraduate Education of the National ScienceFoundation under Grant DUE-0836260.IntroductionAs educators, it

ExperimentsThree sets of experiments are presented: drop-ball experiments, inflation-pressure experimentsand duration-of impact experiments. A drop-ball experiment is one in which a ball is releasedfrom rest from a given height (drop height) above a rigid surface; it is allowed to strike thesurface of the court, and the height to which the ball rebounds is measured. Drop-ballexperiments measure rebound heights and compare them to the corresponding drop heights;inflation-pressure experiments measure the effect of the inflation pressure of a basketball on itsrebound height; and duration-of impact
