The participants for thequalitative component of this study was limited to students majoring in electrical engineering(EE). The rationale for limiting this sample to EE students includes the researcher’s expertise inthe domain (I have a bachelor’s and master’s degree in electrical engineering) and the prohibitivecosts (money and time) associated with expanding the study to the other engineering fields. Thetrade-off to limiting the analysis to electrical engineers is that the conceptual frameworkdeveloped as a result of the study may not be generalizable to the other engineering professions.The goal of the qualitative component, however, is to

engineering courses must be taken in a specific order.Therefore if a student takes time off to participate in a study abroad program it is very likely that their graduationdate will be delayed at least a semester. Compounding this problem is the fact that many junior and sophomorerequired engineering courses are only offered once a year. The root cause of this situation is the small number ofengineering students. The engineering school graduates only 70 students per year spread over four emphases;Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Product Design and Manufacturing. Astudent who misses a required course that is only offered once a year, will have to wait an entire year before theclass is offered again. In addition

No longer is this the normal, learn material and repeat that material; this is discovery of material that has not been seen before and the importance of conveying the findings to an audience that is not looking for regurgitated material but material that is fresh and new. The preparation for this activity has taken four years. During the student’s undergraduate years, communication activities have been an integral part of the engineering curriculum. As is shown in Table 1, the student has been provided with multiple opportunities to investigate and practice his/her communication skills within all of the required mechanical engineering courses and many of the elective courses. By the time the student takes the

primarily on research related to job acquisition, job satisfaction, and jobprogression, there has been correspondingly limited research on the academic impact ofcooperative educational experiences (7). With its roots in the progressive educationalphilosophy of John Dewey (4), cooperative education is designed to provide experiences thatforge direct linkage between student learning and student experience. In trying to expound onthe relationship between material learned in the classroom and students’ understanding and usageof that information in the real world, Dewey makes a strong argument for integrating more real-world applications into a student’s education.More recent work in cognitive learning theory provides supporting evidence for

The new design proposed to use a new carbon filled polymer material for the sealswhich promised much lower friction and improved life in a corrosive chemical environment.The result is a new “Model 2000” feed pump that will run longer between overhauls, generateless heat loss and use less electrical power than the old design at the same operating conditions.One key issue with the new design was that the new carbon seals are more expensive than thebrass seals. The initial cost estimate by the team was $12.00 cost increase per pump. Theproject team decided to set a target to keep the cost of the “Model 2000” at the same level as thecost of the Model 1000
