block access to certainsites (gaming or hacker), and to block student file downloads (MP3 and AVI). The Ciscorouter’s inside interface was configured using IEEE 802.1q trunking and was provisioned for asmany sub-interfaces as deemed appropriate. Sub-interfaces were designed with private IPaddresses in compliance with RFC 1918. The first class B address space was selected andsubnetted to provide 14 subnets with each subnet managing 4000 host addresses. This provideda sufficient number of subnets to support a wide array of instructional topologies and an adequatenumber of host addresses to permit student implementation of variable length subnet masks.This addressing scheme provided a unique subnet for each row of computers depicted in Figure2

The method would require gettingbeyond “addiction to text” (Simons 2004) and the “relentless and lazy use” of PowerPoint(Schwartz 2003), beyond the approach of using the technology for its own sake (Bell 2004). Itwould mean using PowerPoint to accomplish particular goals rather than doing (a) what the toolseems to do best or most easily or (b) what everybody else is doing. Some specifics wouldinclude the following: 1) designing slides with the audience’s needs and the specific nature of the material being presented in mind, 2) understanding a presentation as a total experience of which slides are just one part, 3) becoming a sophisticated user easily able to override program’s defaults, 4) understanding that effective

The objective of the grant is to build a closed loop system that measures student performance while on co-op and directsthis feedback into curricular development. This project develops methodologies to use assessment data of student work term performance incurricular development, thereby continuously aligning experiential- or cooperative-education based curricula with industrial needs. The proposedthree-year project would focus on: a) identifying curricular activities exhibiting a strong correlation with student co-op work performance; b)designing and implementing processes allowing the systematic use of employer assessment in curriculum design; c) evaluating the

A quantitative performance metric involvingenergy consumption and cost was given to the students. The highest score was given tothose students that a) completed the course, b) used the least amount of energy and 3) hadthe least material cost. There were 24 teams of 3 students each who designed and builtmachines. The deliverables for the project included the machine, a formal presentationand a design report.

is called neuroplasticity. There is growing evidence that both the developing and themature brain are structurally altered when learning takes place. These structural changes arebelieved to encode the learning in the brain. Recent brain research findings also suggest thatclassroom activities, which incorporate motivation, stimulating environment and criticalthinking, promote development of the brain in the form of growth of new dendrites. 6 Thesefindings suggest that brain is a dynamic organ, shaped to a great extent by experience. In order tobecome better teachers, educators have to: (a) understand how the brain learns: the process andthe stimuli (environmental, emotional and physical), and (b) devise teaching strategies whichenhance

(If “greater than” then the fourth objective is added to the second and third.)• The results of these questions are recorded as a set of equations that are in the
