Proceedings of the 2003 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright  2003, American Society for Engineering EducationDuring 1990’s decade, our curriculum, like many others, had a capstone software engineering andsenior project course. Over the years it became clear that students were learning design issueswhile they were building their senior project; they did not have a foundation of design experienceto bring to bear on their project work.The latest ACM/IEEE guidelines, currently in draft form [4], also define areas of the body ofknowledge for degrees relating to computing.

preliminary list of concerns suggests topics forinstructional development and provides a basis for surveys exploring the concerns of specificgroups of faculty. Documented variability in the level of individuals’ pedagogical expertiseindicates that instructional developer effectiveness can be enhanced by beginning instructionaldevelopment interactions with efforts to ascertain participants’ pedagogical knowledge. Suchassessment, which can be either formal or informal, can help instructional developers to customizeactivities to suit their user(s). The importance of vocabulary and terminology to engineeringfaculty suggests that instructional development materials and activities be reviewed for potentiallydissonant vocabulary.

Heavy Rotor Schematic using NdFeB permanent magnet material laminated in the Silicon Hub with electro-deposited Ni80-Fe20.Electrodeposition of Permalloy Ni80Fe20Electrodeposition is the process used in electroplating, whereas electroplating is the process ofusing electrical current to reduce metal cations—an atom or group of atoms carrying a positivecharge—in a solution and coat a conductive object with a thin layer of metal2. The primaryapplication of electroplating is to deposit layer(s) of a metal having some desired property(example, abrasion and wear resistance, corrosion protection, lubricity, improvement of aestheticqualities, magnetic, etc.) onto a surface lacking that property.

Actively seek out problems to solve or areas opportunity where you would be the first person to do the particular type of work you are doing.

difficulties, however, here we briefly describe a preliminarypilot sample exercise to help students address a small subset of these difficulties. The exercise isintended to be completed by students in small groups of 3 or 4 in a “recitation” type format. Therecitation instructor(s) do not lecture, rather leave the students to complete the task and posequestions to individual groups when they have problems.The exercise focuses on student understanding of the potential energy of two metal atoms as afunction of separation. We chose this topic for several reasons. First, a basic (and we stressbasic) conceptual understanding of the major features of the potential is fundamental tounderstanding the nature of atomic bonds and this can be used throughout the

The feasibility study (Phase 1) of this research was completed in the2003-04 academic year. The wind tower location on the dam area was found to have the secondhighest wind speed in the Hickory Hills Park. The maximum wind speed location was far fromthe hydro generator and therefore was not selected. A

We expose the students to error detection techniques at both the bit and message level,and introduce very rudimentary methods of implementing a messaging protocol.
