Noting that g l has dimensions of frequency, one can introduce the dimensionlesstime: v ? ( g l )t , so that d dt ? (d dv )(dv dt ) ? ( g l )(d dv ) . Light Rigid Rod g

Each of the proposed solutions is then ranked and accompanied byquantification of gains expected from its implementation. Some solutions implemented by themanufacturers to guard against detrimental influence of external factors are also presented afterthe exercise. A preliminary evaluation of advantages and challenges encountered while teachingthe topic using hands-on simulation with simple objects, as well as solutions to the problems arepresented.1.

This project, also called Senior Project in our terminology,provides students with an opportunity to work on complex control problems, similar to onesencountered in the industry, and employ a number of technologies and methods to provide apractical solution.In general, the Senior Project entails the design and construction of a process, identification ofkey control objectives, specification and implementation of required instrumentation for processvariable(s) monitoring and control, real time data acquisition and storage methods, modeling ofthe process using empirical and/or analytical methods, design and tuning of controllers, andclosed loop control performance evaluation.Equally

A critical issue is the availability of inexpensive orfree software that demonstrates the major circuit design considerations necessary for laboratoriesand projects. This paper has been written to relate our positive experiences using PSpice in aclass entitled “High Frequency Electronics” (EE 626), which is a graduate level course atOakland University in Rochester, Michigan. Examples discussed include the development anduse of y- and s-parameter extraction circuits, Wilkinson power dividers and adders, directionalcouplers, baluns, hybrid rings, HF filters, and stability and load calculators.

The purpose of this feedback is todetermine if the restructuring of the course is perceived to be positive or negative by the students.Details of this part of the investigation are given below.For the second method of obtaining feedback, ratings for each individual lecture are separatedbased on whether the student had a sensing (S) verses intuitive (N) MBTI preference. Thesedata points were then examined to determine if there was a correlation between the S-type or N-type student’s rating and the specific content of that lecture.

IEs.The influence of computer technologies is not a new phenomenon in IE: Consider theperiod from the 1960's to the 1980's. It is interesting to observe that the use of computersnot only facilitated the solution of analytical models in this era, but also affected the typeof analytical models themselves, and solution approaches in a very profound manner.The mainframes were the workhorses for the pre-1980's, mostly running in a batchprocessing mode. (A program was submitted to the computer as one of many jobs.) This"batch job" paradigm is still visible in the models and methods of IE, and, consequently,many algorithmic procedures still follow the batch-job paradigm. Under this paradigm,the algorithm has a set of inputs. It then goes through a

Society for Engineering Education, 2008 Service-Learning Projects in 35 Core Undergraduate Engineering CoursesAbstractThe College of Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UML) has integratedservice-learning (S-L) into many of its core required undergraduate courses over the last threeyears. Projects that meet real community needs and that help students achieve academicobjectives in the courses are difficult to create. Projects for 35 different undergraduate requiredcourses are summarized to help faculty, staff, and students develop S-L projects for their owncourses. Faculty at UML were encouraged to “start small rather than not at all.” Courses andprojects include, for example: first-year introduction to engineering with 340
