Storytelling Based Learning is intended to assist both the students taking a course and theinstructors teaching and creating the curriculum. Specifically, it guides and assists participantsbecause it fills the gap between disciplinary engineering learning, which is a cognitive processand embedded in logics of natural sciences. Storytelling is a socio-cognitive process. Yet it ismore so an experiential learning process where the hands-on or theoretical engineering learningis replaced by hands-on socio-cognitive experiential process of Tell/Make

Thetopics are covered in four of the five new telecommunications courses. The fifth is a capstonecourse with a design project whose objectives vary each time it is taught. Curriculum details arediscussed in the next section.Discussions with the School of Management led to the selection of four courses to give studentsa basic understanding of project management. The motivation for creating a multidisciplinarydegree combining ECET and management courses was twofold. First, after graduation, studentsare usually employed on project teams under an experienced manager. As they gain

PaperIntroductionGathering data is an integral part of any project and at any level of research. Limited exposure totypes of data acquisition (DAQ) systems can hinder students’ ability to acquire accurate andnecessary data. Because of this, more DAQ systems should be introduced to students in the earlystages of the curriculum. For example, mechanical engineering labs at the University of Arkansasuse LabJack regularly. The skills learned in LabJack translate to other DAQ systems but theconnection isn’t very apparent. In many capstone projects, it is easier to use Arduino for simpledata collection. National Instrument’s LabVIEW is the industry standard for data acquisition,making it perfect for using when doing research. Because of this, it would be beneficial

and politics. Can engineering students learn to think about politics as an integral partof engineering problem solving? We begin by posing this question, knowing that students arenot ready to answer and that will gain significance throughout the course. At present, theengineering curriculum trains students to understand engineering and politics as opposedconcepts and practices. We use the life and experiences of John Sununu, MIT engineer andformer Chief of Staff to President Reagan. Here students learn that defining a problem in one’sown terms gives one possession of the problem. If different groups define problems differently,then an interaction between them is inherently a political one, for whoever wins the battle overdefinition gains

After successfully implementing this curriculum with his studentsfor the second year, and realizing potential redundancy should his students pursue the TG degreeoption at IUPUI, he approached the TG Program Chair to inquire about the potential for collegecredit for graduates who had now completing an almost identical High School course. It wasthrough this relationship that the dialogue first began in connecting these two educationalinstitutions through this unique articulation agreement.Note: On June 9, 2000, the Indiana Commission for Higher Education approved the four-yearBachelor of Science degree program in Computer Graphics Technology (CGT) at IUPUI.

In the previous example, it’s clear to see what usefulnessit can have. Communication between the two parties became simpler as a direct result of theautomation.The usefulness of web-enabling applications can be further seen by considering cases in whichdevelopers need to integrate heterogeneous components running on separate machines. By web-enabling an application, the developer gains the ability to make remote procedure call (RPC) toany other web-enabled application. The net result is a system capable of scalability and flexibility.It is scalable because processing intensive portions of an application can be

rigorous process is taught to students in their Statics andDynamics courses on how to draw proper kinetic, free-body, and impulse-momentum diagrams.While numerous techniques and mnemonics have been mentioned in literature, any experiencedinstructor can tell a correct free-body diagram apart from an incorrect one. Unfortunately, this isnot the case when considering scalar properties such as mass, energy, exergy, and entropy.Different fluid mechanics and thermodynamics texts have treated the diagrammatic representationof these properties either very poorly, or in the case of the latter two, not at all. In this paper, theconcept of the storage and interaction diagrams is introduced as a graphical tool to represent theaforementioned scalar properties

The evaluations were generally positive for the initial (2002)offering, especially with regard to learning how to work in project teams. But the instructor feltthat the conventional approach he followed during this initial offering allowed little opportunityfor the students to integrate their knowledge and apply it to a real-world project related to thestudents' majors. The revised course offering in Fall 2003 addressed this problem.Revised Offering, Fall 2003 Over the summer and fall of 2003, we used CCLI project funds to develop and buildhardware and

Inspired by success stories with the use of mobile robots at schools such asMIT [5], Case Western Reserve University [2], and Trinity College [1], we felt that the fieldof mobile robots would be an ideal match for our objectives. Mobile robots provide achallenging and exciting arena for developing, applying and evaluating AI techniques.Situated in the world, mobile robots must deal with issues of uncertainty, reliability andreal-time response [4].

Capstone projects provide an opportunity for students to demonstrate theircritical thinking skills, communication skills, as well as time and project management skills. Thecapstone course prepares students to better understand the professional roles in the engineeringand technology community1. In many universities, senior-level capstone courses have beenincorporated as an integral part of engineering and engineering technology education in an effortto correlate the practical side of engineering design and the engineering curriculum.
