Testing a Towertotal number of pennies the tower could hold on a cup, and which cup heldthe most pennies. If more than one tower held the same amount of pennies, then the tiebreakerwas the tallest structure. Students were awarded first, second, and third prizes for the TerrificTower competition. At the end of the competition, certificates were awarded to parents andstudents. Students with perfect attendance received a trophy.Summer InstituteThe Summer Institute is offered to students who have earned a "B" average or higher in math andscience courses during the academic year. The five-week program met Monday to Thursday, 9:00a.m. – 3:30 p.m., and Fridays were reserved for hands-on activities organized by engineeringfaculty members and for field
former, SURE participant. The talk led thestudents through the former participant’s process of turning his SURE research into apublication. The workshop highlighted the significance of reading previous literature to know thecontribution of the work to the field, working diligently to produce and document results as wellas telling a story through the work. The speaker emphasized that while it can be difficult toproduce quality results in a ten-week time frame, networking within the research group cansustain the students collaboration on the work resulting in a publication. Notes provided to thestudents are located in Appendix B of the work.Graduate School Preparation ActivitiesSince the purpose of the SURE program is to increase the number of

Over the past five years the author has found that studentattitude towards the course and subsequent feedback to be most rewarding, and I was veryencouraged by the level of student involvement in the project. In addition, the effort expended inhardware construction and testing offered students an opportunity to gain a “broader technicalview” of the radio frequency communication process.Bibliography[1] Rutledge, David B., The Electronics of Ratio" Cambridge University, 1999[2] Burdick, W.

concepts during class ≠ Discussions during class ≠ Student performance in graded works ≠ Student feedback from course evaluationsVerbal questioning of the students yield that learning law terms still seem to be a challenge sincethese students are very technically oriented making achievement of a high level of sophisticationa little bit harder. However, acceptable responses are commonly given by the students.Discussions are favored by the students, and interesting and accurate points are made by themduring these discussions. Student performances are above the ABET threshold set (B- or 80%).This can be attributed to small class sizes of 5-7 students over the 4 years. Student courseevaluations indicate some interest towards the law content

Their common answer was thatwhile CE graduates are good in numerical solution of traditional engineering problems, theyoften lack creativity in defining new problems and in offering innovative solutions. In the IABs’opinion, two areas of particular importance in near future will be (a) design and construction ofgreen buildings, especially as outlined by LEED, and (b) development and rehabilitation ofrobust civil infrastructure7. In addition, CE graduates need to improve their communication andwriting skills and should be able to work in interdisciplinary

Begin to narrow your focus to the most promising ideas. Have team member vote on their top four ideas (it can be more or less than four – you decide). 5. Based on the most popular ideas from problem 4, develop three design concepts that are a combination of the most-liked ideas from the brainstorming session.
