limited because of credit reductionsin the curriculum and cost cut backs. Engineering laboratories are expensive from themachines needed to conduct the experiments to the staff time needed to train andsupport the activity. Historically, students often came to engineering from farm or otherbackgrounds where they developed skills working with their hands. Today thesebackgrounds are less common and it is proposed that it takes considerable more time toprepare students to conduct laboratory experiments than it did in earlier years. Toaddress this problem in a civil engineering materials course, we developed nine on-linetutorials and two on-line demonstrations. These tutorials consisted of media clips thatprovided step-by-step instructions on how to

This required that the activation of the cake icing dispenser beautomated to allow for proper filling of the cavity. To accomplish this, the circuit shown in Fig. 6was designed and implemented. First, a multiplexer and transistor (TIP120 NPN in Fig. 6) wasused to extract an additional output from the LegoTM NXT controller to allow for the X, Y, and Zaxes as well as the cake icing dispenser to be synchronized. The circuit utilized the pulse widthmodulation PWM) of the LegoTM NXT controller to turn on an external voltage source thatpowered the cake icing dispenser. (Thetoggle switch (DPDT Switch

Furthermore, in the meantime, given the demands of amilitary career, it might be difficult for the former students to be able to maintain theircredentialing. This area represents an opportunity for further study.This study concludes that the content and format of the credentialing course needs to change.

it is common for studentsto work alone on projects at the undergraduate level.For many second-year engineering students, on the other hand, team projects have been anessential part of the curriculum since starting college. By the time of graduation, it is expectedthat these students have developed as specialists who can contribute to a larger project in whichmultiple disciplines are required to achieve a solution. Thus, it is not surprising that theteamwork aspects of an undergraduate engineering curriculum affected students‟ perceptions ofinterdisciplinary engineering work.During the focus groups, students identified critical components of a successful interdisciplinaryengineering team as good communication, trust, and mutual respect

We see that students createtheir own meaning, and their conceptions often overlap with our working definition of SDL butmight not be as encompassing.

Since the roles of theother organization members were more limited, their views were excluded. A further-reachingstudy could be conducted to assess the impact on the university students, 8th grade students, endusers, and other organization members. Finally, it is possible that the COR was perceivedprimarily as a faculty member rather than as the client, and a different community partner wouldhave had a larger impact.Further integration with the end user could be implemented.
