In this paper we shall report on the currentformat of the course and how it overcomes many of the problems with our initial offering.Although only part way through the second offering, we recognize the need for new changes inorder to account for the increased maturity and experience of the students returning from their16-month internship experience. The changes needed to handle the 80% of our students who willreturn from internship in September 1999 are discussed.1. IntroductionTwo years ago the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) placed a requirement thatall engineering students experience an extensive 4th year design project.

The furtherimplication of this effort is that multicultural students may be more effective in an increasinglydiverse environment filled with sudden, extemporaneous demands.General Background:Engineers and scientists are often perceived and portrayed as being both humorless anduncommunicative. While the former may be ascribed to a tendency to analyze rather thanimmediately react to

Participants will use classical hydrology methods to construct storm hydrographsand derive time of concentration. These will be correlated with water chemistry to produce a time seriesrecord of concentration that can be translated to flux and mass transport. At the spatial scale of a sub-watershed in an urbanized area, the methodological framework will seek to understand howenvironmental flows contribute to degraded water quality [6,7,8]. Hydrologic variability and interactionswithin the natural and engineered components alter biogeochemical fluxes [9] and ecological integrity [10,11] all of which are affected by storm water

In an effort to assist students with this challenge andeducate more students for the manufacturing work force, a partnership was formed to put asecondary STEM teacher and college faculty in the same classroom. The partnership allowedstudents to know the local post-secondary educational options related to STEM and to getcomfortable with the campus while being introduced to computer integrated manufacturing(CIM) practices. This initial class had ten students that participated and this paper will explainthe

For case studies, an assessment ofthree real-world case studies was compared to an identical assessment of a similar case studyutilized in a prior year. For quizzes, an assessment of quizzes was compared to identicalassessments in the two prior years. Quantitative techniques were used to analyze the outcomes ofthe case studies and the quizzes, while a thematic analysis was used to analyze the post-casestudy feedback

Efforts to include engineering in the K - 12 curriculum haveincreased considerably in recent years. Many of engineering's educational advocates hold theposition that engineering should not be a "stand-alone" school subject or, at the very least, not beexclusively so. This paper is a case study of integrating engineering into the existingcurriculum. The more focused questions addressed here include "what does engineering bringto
