Linear problem is mucheasier since the solution process does not require recompiling and linking of objective programmodules. However, once the online remote compilation problem was solved, similar interface(CGI) can be used to run other program that requires online and remote compilation, such aslinking finite element program and optimization program to create design automation tool.

The ETPPis peer-led and peer-focused. Participants rotate the leadership role for each session andfacilitate the sessions without supervision by faculty or professional staff.Key features of this program include: a) a focus on graduate students, b) a series of activitiesthat collectively help students develop a teaching portfolio, and c) a peer-led structure with astrong peer evaluation component. The program has these elements for three primary reasons.First, we have an interest in helping improve the flow in the engineering educator pipeline
method of incorporating animation into the student experience in the analysis of dynamics(especially vibrations) problems is presented. After a student models the problem, draws free-body diagrams, and derives equations of motion, he/she then obtains the solution for the positioncoordinates as functions of time. The student generates and plots the solution within a simpleMATLAB program in which all parameters, such as mass, stiffness, damping, lengths, initialconditions, etc. can be easily changed. The solution can be generated using either a closed formsolution or a numerical differential equation solver. In either case, at the end of the program, thestudent can animate his/her own solution by running an animation function file provided by

That combined with thedeplorable September 11 terrorist episode has set in motion a new phenomenon that relates todemand, supply, recruitment, and hiring of international graduate students in USA and in otherdeveloped countries. This paper is based on a case study to understand the cause of both (a)nation-wide decline in the number of high quality international applicants in engineeringgraduate programs, and (b) decline in numbers of those who actually end up joining after offersare made.

right venue for this learningobjective. Rather, we moved that open-ended project to the senior-level lab course, after thestudents had learned (a) how to confidently use several common transducers, and (b) how tocollect, analyze, and present data in a credible manner for a well-defined problem.In the week-4 lab period, devoted to the project, students are generally able to fabricate theapparatus they designed in week 3 and make a preliminary measurement. At this early stage, ourobjective is for students to get a rough value for their result even if they haven’t had time toassemble all the transducers they plan to use. It is intended to give them an early start on gettingthe apparatus assembled, and verify the feasibility of their design.Three

Another reason education institutions seek collaborative relationships with businessesis to promote advancement of knowledge by improving the quality of instruction and research.Businesses enter cooperative relationships first of all to meet corporate product, service, ormanagement needs.”1 While there are some potential hazards to this, the possible benefits aretoo great to ignore.First, let us look at some of the potential or perceived drawbacks to collaborations.Massachusetts Institute of Technology President Charles Vest, while testifying before the UnitedStates House of Representatives in 1998, stated “Over the long term, (private) collaborations canhave a transforming effect on the ability of
asked to rate the performance of each team with regards to a)performance on task assigned to the team and b) willingness to assist other teams. The approachto assessment relieved the stress of some students around interdependence on fellow teammembers. They had comfort in the fact that they would have a voice in assessing theperformance of other team members and thereby mitigating against slackers.With functional teams in place, organizing the work began with the creation of a workbreakdown structure (known as the WBS) and establishing a responsibility matrix. The WBSwas formed around the various work areas of the plant while the teams were created according tothe equipment types to be moved. Prime responsibility for a work area was given to

Traditionally, it is convenient andtidy to simply state the transformation matrix, mapping system variables from a-b-c to 0-1-2sequence. This, however, does not enable students to quickly conceptualize the relationshipbetween the two domains. The 2D visualization of Figure 3 is designed to help
Graduate Students as Co-Instructors for an Undergraduate Course: Implementation and AssessmentAbstractThis work suggests one method to fully expose graduate students to the demands ofteaching an undergraduate course under the supervision of a full-time faculty member.The students, called co-instructors, interact with the supervisor on various levels fromcourse design to the grading schemes. Based on the feed back received from the students,it was concluded that this type of interaction provided a useful learning experience forboth the undergraduate students and the co-instructors.IntroductionThe primary purpose of an engineering college, especially at the undergraduate level, isto provide effective instruction in subject matter

apparatuses that have been developed for use in both a basicthermodynamics course and a heat transfer course are described. In addition, the laboratoryexercises developed for each course using the apparatuses are discussed. The experiments weredeveloped using simple, practical devices. The experiments developed center around (a) adorm-sized refrigerator, (b) a small industrial heat exchanger, (c) a cooking wok, and (d) a high-intensity commercial light fixture. These are all devices that students have either encountered ineveryday life, or can easily connect with. The experiments build upon this basic familiarity byapplying engineering experiments to the equipment to demonstrate fundamental principles ofThermodynamics in the Basic Thermodynamics

These principles, referred to as“KEYS” in his essay, are: a) promoting individual and group accountability; b) usingassignments that link and mutually reinforce individual work, group work, and total classdiscussions; and c) adopting practices that stimulate give-and-take interaction within andbetween groups.Application of the Theory:This type of interaction can be facilitated by dividing students into small groups of five orsix and assigning chapters within the text. These teams of students are then divided intoexpert groups one through five. After each individual reads the
