had no problems had the system used a PS/2 mouse. We found thatthe Jornada 820’s synchronization software had to be set to use the serial port COM 1 at a baudrate of 19200. We then set the modem to use COM 3 and the serial mouse to use COM 2. Oncethe serial port settings were in place, the synchronization using the Windows CE Servicesworked fine.A minor problem that bears mentioning is the occasional freeze or hanging of communicationbetween the Jornada 820 and the desktop computer at the initialization of synchronization.When this occurred, simply removing the serial cable from the Jornada 820 momentarily andthen reseating it was enough to reset the connection. This could be done while Windows CEServices was attempting to communicate with

In 1998, Cates surveyed allstudents in Materials Science and Engineering and Industrial Engineering to get theirperceptions. Students were asked to rank their abilities within each of the eleven categories on ascale of Excellent to Poor. They were then asked to attribute the development of each ability on apercentage basis to xx % Classroom, yy % Co-op and zz % Other (please specify) to total 100%.A second, and more comprehensive survey, was administered by Cates to the graduating Class of1999 for the University of
.3. Programs and Courses that Participated in the Study3.1. Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology at Cal Poly Pomona. This programis housed in the Department of Engineering Technology. This program consists of a rigorousintegrated four-year curriculum, designed to prepare graduates for technical careers on the“engineering team.” The program currently enrolled about 375 students at the time of this study.At Cal Poly Pomona, two courses participated in this study during fall quarter 2000. These were: ETE 310 Applied Network Analysis/Lab (3/1). This was an upper-division math-intensive technical course for juniors that included Laplace transforms, transfer functions, the s-plane, stability, and time/frequency response of

Their paper documents thedevelopment of two new project-based engineering programs seeking accreditation.18 Their intention to“build a more inclusive culture for tomorrow’s engineers” differs from Godfrey and Parker’s use ofculture as a vehicle for ethnographic insight about an existing institutional context.18 Bates et al.’s callfor change urges us to view engineering culture as malleable. Along the same vein, Tonso,19 Riley,20Kim et al,21

In particular, three items are related to this paper: (1) methods of generating projectideas, (2) general project guidelines, and (3) measurement of project assignments.Methods of generating projects suggested by Ulrich and Eppinger10 include: (a) student-conceived projects, (b) industry-sponsored projects, and (c) faculty-specified projects.

achieved both professional AND academic credentials equal to or higher than those of the individuals involved in the P&T process. These "Peer Reviewers" serve as "Quality Assurance Evaluators" to insure the standards of the discipline and the academic community are being sustained. By having individuals who are neither professionally and/or academically qualified to serve in a Peer Review process, we would begin to see that the quality of the program(s) and the academic faculty (over time) would become "watered-down" and "ineffective". Furthermore, it would provide our true academic peers with an opportunity to ridicule and denigrate a system that uses outside "experts" as a key component of our

We followed that lead inreceiving and studiously responding to the nuances of markers that participants in our researchstudy shared with us, as they assessed our trustworthiness. With our focus on stewardship, werespectfully received the stories they chose to share with us, recognizing that they contributedvaluable knowledge with each story they shared.Use of markers in qualitative analysisRobert S.

in the solution of broadly defined problems. Civil Engineering Technician (CE Technician) is a person typically performing task- oriented scientific or engineering related activities and exercising technical judgments commensurate with those specific tasks. A person working as a CE Technician works under the direct control and personal supervision of a CE Professional or direction of a CE Technologist. A person initially obtains status as a CE Technician through the completion of requisite formal education, experience, examination(s), and/or other requirements as specified by an appropriate credentialing body. A person working as a CE Technician is expected to comprehend and
Continuous ImprovementContinuous improvement should be a part of every program and course and having the benefit ofdesigning the program with a clean sheet gave us the opportunity to integrate continuousimprovement from the start, beginning with our courses. To assist, we created a slide format tosummarize what we learned and that we also use to discuss our new insights with our DataScience Advisory Council. For example, Figure 1, below, is an example for the course forstudents not ready for Calculus I. Our faculty completes them every year for their course, andwe use the feedback to improve the course and the student experience.

PhenomenographyPhenomenography is the empirical study of the qualitatively different ways in which aspects ofthe world are experienced. That is, it involves mapping phenomena, or the relations betweenpersons and aspects of their world31. It is a qualitative research approach first used in the originalwork of the Swedish researchers Ference Marton32-34, Roger Säljö35, 36, Lennart Svensson37 andLars-Öwe Dahlgren38 in the mid-70s. Phenomenography was initially developed to investigatelearning among university students, leading to identifying the ‘surface’ and ‘deep’ approachesthat are widely known in education circles today32. Phenomenography appeared in its own rightas a research approach for describing people’s experiences during the early 1980’s (see forexample

Projects are based on faculty mentor’s scholarship and exploration. 2. Projects are long-term and large-scale, continuing for many years, even decades. 3. Program is curricular and all participating students are graded (A-F; not P/F or S/U). 4. Students can participate and earn credits toward their degrees for at least two years. 5. Learning outcomes focus on the development of both disciplinary and professional skills. 6. Multi-disciplinary teams are encouraged but not required. 7. Dedicated classroom
