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.

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

programs in entrepreneurship inacademia. But the lack of integrated context knowledge, know-how, may limit theeffectiveness of these early programs.The pervasiveness of learning-by-doing curriculum is driving the need to educateengineering students in their future role as knowledge holders, creators, team members,builders and, ultimately as, innovators. This paper hopes to continue the development ofthese curricula by presenting know-how as an intentioned framework.KNOW-HOWKnow-how is not a new concept. Aristotle (384-332 BCE) was one of the earliestthinkers to make a distinction between know-what – content knowledge or disciplines –and know-how – the oftentimes-messy aspects of self-awareness and applied teamwork.In Metaphysics, Aristotle speaks

PA involves the process of reconstructing the lifecycle of a product – thecustomer requirements, design specifications, and manufacturing processes used to produce it –to understand the decisions that led to its development. By considering products as designedartifacts with a history rooted in their development, we synthesize concepts from archaeologywith advances in cyber-enhanced product dissection to implement new educational innovationsthat integrate global, economic, environmental, and societal concerns into engineering design-related courses using product archaeology.Talking about

Taxonomy to specify desired levels of achievement in the CEPC might be problematic, because the Taxonomy requires the use of measurable, action-oriented verbs. However, ultimately, the CEPCTC determined that the EAC’s concern could be adequately addressed without compromising on the use of Bloom’s Taxonomy simply by changing the introductory clause of the CEPC from “The curriculum must prepare graduates to…” to “The curriculum must include topics necessary to….” The latter phrase was quoted directly from the recently approved EAC Program Criteria for Cybersecurity Engineering [10] which were cited by the EAC Criteria Committee as an example of criteria that satisfied their concern

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

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.

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.

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
