Participation in this activitywas required and students were assigned participation grades based on each their activity. Theseonline discussions were necessary to help the faculty prepare a 15-minute lecture review which isan integral part of this hybrid model. The lecture review was incorporated to provide interactivediscussion between students and faculty inside the classroom. After the lecture

By linking the WHETS to BEN we can offer acourse from Vancouver to students at Boeing and Pullman with the local students attending thelecture in the originating WHETS classroom creating a virtual classroom that is state-wide.Using this technology we have offered several lecture-only format courses of the curriculum at adistance.

realize that continuing rapidchanges in electronic components, technologies, methods, equipment and jobs are the norm butfind it difficult to keep courses and curriculum are in step. Yet, more than ever it is essential thatacademia match industry and the consumer in keeping up with the technology.One way to update and improve the technician-level electronics curriculum is to adopt a systems-oriented rather than a component/circuit analysis approach that most schools still use. Thanks tohigh density integrated circuits, fewer and fewer discrete component circuits are in use today yetmost two-year schools continue to teach the analysis and design of discrete component circuitsthat few technicians actually encounter today.

Recognizing the academic potential of games, Schwartz founded the Game Design Initiative at Cornell (GDIAC) in the spring of 2001. Soon after, he designed the Cornell Library Collaborative Learning Computer Laboratory (CL3), which started hosting GDIAC courses in August 2004. In May 2006, these efforts established Cornell’s Minor in Game Design offered by the College of Engineering, the first formal Ivy-League game design program. In the summer of 2007, Schwartz joined the Rochester Institute of Technology’s Game Design and Development program as an assistant professor. In 2009

With this integrated approach to presenting the material, it became a naturalfit for the ABET 2000 requirements on social impact, ethics and economics. In responseto industry concerns that engineering students were becoming applied physicists insteadof engineers, MIT revamped its undergraduate curriculum. The result of a two-yearoverhaul was the Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) educational initiative.Emphasis is towards hands-on learning. Unified Engineering is still a key part of thecurriculum, but most core classes have added hands-on labs. Through the years, MIT

Many key measures of economic growth havebeen stronger in small startups than in large established firms (Acs & Audretsch, 1987;Audretsch, 2002).

They found anumber of courses with collaborative learning experiences, projects staffed by multiple students,and some degree of instruction in teaming, but conclude that the teaming experience in acurriculum can contain significant gaps.One of the challenges of teamworking is finding the time to provide instructor guidance withinthe scheduled classroom time.

The result showed thatSolidWorks was most widely used and was gaining popularity in the markets of our constituents.The decision was quickly made to utilize SolidWorks throughout the curriculum for design andanalysis. This change prompted the university to purchase a larger license agreement which alsoallowed unlimited certification exam vouchers for students and faculty.In 2011, after becoming more confident in the ability of the students’ use of SolidWorks, the firstcertification exams were given.
