These projects are typically integrated into the curriculum as full-semester projects fordesign courses, as small projects within a technical course, as work for a co-op employee, and/oras an extra-curricular project. Each of these methods was utilized as a part of this particularproject, as will be discussed in future sections.

Such structural modifications are unlikelyto lead to make much difference in practice, however, unless there are also correspondingchanges in the normative climate of the college. “Unless an innovation becomes valued, it willlack a constituency capable of lobbying for its continuation”1. Thus, team-based design projectsare more likely to persist as part of a college’s curriculum when administrators and facultyvalue them as a means to improve students’ overall learning experiences.

The course is used to introduce students to collegeacademics, the scholarly community, and the surveying profession. Class sizes are limited to 20students in order to keep the student-teacher ratio low and provide the students an opportunity tomake friends with 19 other students in their major. Team exercises are used in several elementsof the course. One of the purposes of the course is to build a comfortable academic relationshipbetween the first-semester surveying student and a

The rationale for the development of this 3-credit,graduate-level course included two arguments: (1) to provide practicing technology teachers withan opportunity to build their knowledge of usability and technology assessment; and (2) to pilotthe delivery of an online graduate course. Since the fall of 2000, this course has been offered100% online to on- and off-campus students using the Blackboard

Wenote here that Enola’s own viewpoint on engineering education is less integrative of identity at themoment, so even if her professors asked her how they could change the curriculum to be more culturallyresponsive to her, she may not have a clear answer.

outputs a current that depends onthe rotor speed error, on its time integral, and on its time derivative (PID). This output current is inputto the SCR power controller which uses a pulse-width-modulation scheme to control the switching(duty cycle) of resistive heaters to the alternator. As the control current increases, the duty cycleincreases, thereby causing the apparent rotor torque to increase. This increase lowers the rotor speeduntil the integrated error between rotor speed and rotor setpoint decreases and an error of zero isreached. The Omega PID controller is a self-tuning controller, and that option was used on the windmachine with satisfactory results. As shown in Figure 3, wind speed is the disturbance into the systemand is
