Some of these programs areoffered by departments in which ABET accredited programs exist. Others are offered bydepartments which do not have an association with ABET or with engineering. For example, theUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison3 offers more than

The value of slope of 1/CJ2 at any point along the trace can be extracted. One such point isindicated by the cursor window and gives value 22.79 x 1021(1/VxF2), for which, using equation(2-4) identifies a doping concentration of: N(doping) = 2/[(1.602x10-19)*(1.05x10-12)*(22.79x1021)*10-8] = 5.22

learningstyles12. This model categorizes people into four learning styles that relate to how they deal withideas and daily situations. While industry tends to desire a more balanced learning preferencecurve that is typically found in engineering freshmen (Figure 1.a.), the traditional engineeringcurriculum often tends to support students with a stronger preference for active experimentation(Figure 1.b.). As a result, students with a stronger preference for reflective observation tend tobe discouraged from continuing in an engineering curriculum.

This taxonomy can be used to determine that students are tested at different levels and are encouraged to develop higher lever skills such as synthesis and evaluation. For example, a student may be expected to a. define Ohm’s law b. explain Ohm’s law c. apply Ohm’s law to different resistors in a circuit d. analyze a circuit using Ohm’s law e. design a circuit for a specific purpose using Ohm’s law f. assess the accuracy of a previously analyzed circuit Each of these tasks requires the students to function at different levels of Bloom’s taxonomy.

Our conjecture is that each of these three will exert acatalytic effect on the other two and help to produce a new kind of distributed andheterogeneous network infrastructure for learning settings: one that possesses not onlytechnological power and sophistication but elegant and appealing symmetries consistent withresearch in learning and teaching.This new project has three goals. They are to a) build the integrated ALASKA platform; b)refine, test and use a replicable process for embedding domain expertise in it; and c) test thenetwork under classroom conditions in order to investigate research

Each of the authors teaches an infrastructure management course –one is an upper-level undergraduate elective, one is a graduate-level course, and one course isopen to both upper-level undergraduate and graduate students. The authors have workedtogether to develop and share course materials, as well as to integrate our research into thecourses.This paper builds on two papers previously presented at ASEE Conferences, the 2000 paper“Teaching Students to Manage Civil Infrastructure Systems”2 and the 2004 paper “EnhancingInfrastructure Management Education through Collaboration.”3 The focus of this paper,however, is on the

Recorded runtimes show a linear time complexity forlinear search and a logarithmic complexity for binary search. The point is easily made that aphone book of ten million entries should not be maintained and linearly searched as an unorderedarray. Students can also readily see that, while search speed may be adequate using binary searchof an ordered array, keeping the data in order with updates is a problem. This motivates the B-tree data structure. Students are expected to be able to describe

In this laboratory the instructor (RWG)is careful to choose pairs of students or singles if an odd number is enrolled. Part of the teamformation is related to perceived growth needs of the student. Three students should never be puton one team because one will be left out. Students are allowed a voice in choosing a partner butthe instructor will veto a decision if there is a difference of two letter grades between them, usingthe previous lab grade as a measure. For instance, A-B and C-D students can work together butnot A-C or B-D. Experience has shown that female
