The GIC has played a central role in facilitating the spinoff of a varietyof CSU-related business ventures such as Envirofit [9] and Solix Biofuels [10]. Figure 1 showsan example of the GIC approach wherein research on clean cookstoves at the EECL (Fig. 1a)was transformed into a viable product (Fig. 1b) by the non-profit corporation Envirofit, whichrecently partnered with the Shell Foundation to produce and sell 10 million clean-burning stovesover the next 5 years.

role of human resource professionals; - The nature of resistance; - The influence of centralization and decentralization; - How processes are redesigned; and - The impact of personal stresses, costs, relationships and hidden agendas.As higher education goes beyond its traditional boundaries to create programs for lifelonglearning, we must become more aware of external influences for a more holistic approach toprogram planning. Defining the decision-making profile of corporations and then developing astrategy to address that profile will go a long way to helping make these kinds of programs bethe most meaningful they can be.Bibliography1.

ResearchGraduate research education, funding, research faculty, and curricula to enrich the graduatescientific research path was largely built into the nation’s engineering schools in the 1960’s,70’s, and 80’s. Consequently, American engineering education has primarily patterned thescience-driven model of graduate education which is in-place at the graduate level at the nation’sresearch universities. The universities have performed an outstanding job in meeting the scienceeducation and research goal. Those graduate engineers who are pursuing scientific researchcareer paths have been especially well served. The nation is preeminent in graduate education forscientific research. This model of graduate education is patterned worldwide.The effects of the Bush

CourseThe first case study is a freshmen-level introductory mechanical engineering course taught byIrem Y. Tumer, a doctoral student in Mechanical Engineering, along with faculty member Dr.Kristin L. Wood. A second section of this course was taught by Dr. Philip S. Schmidt, who hasbeen responsible for this course for the past several years. The typical enrollment in this courseis around 170 every semester. Due to the lack of a second large room, we broke the course intotwo sections, and Dr. Wood and I took a class of 40, as opposed to a class of 130 students in Dr.Schmidt's section.The course involves teaching the basic concepts of mechanical engineering to first-yearengineering students, such as design, modeling, reverse engineering, manufacturing

Withregard to non-real-time exercises, it’s clear that interactive learning, exercises, and demonstrations to stu-dents using off-line methods are very useful for helping them to build an initial mental model.2–6 However,taking the next step by requiring students to make the transition to real-time DSP implementations has beenshown to cement a more complete understanding of DSP topics.7Since the late 1990’s, the authors of this paper have reported on proven DSP teaching methodologies,hardware and software solutions, and various DSP tools that have helped motivate both students and facultyto implement real-time DSP-based systems, and thereby improve education in
