. The challenge was to implement a qualityeducational program subject to the constraints of being a rural university and lack of namerecognition.The key to the success of the accreditation effort was to create a process that demonstratedcompliance with ABET criteria while also targeting the constraints of the problem. A team offaculty, called the Engineering Physics Oversight Committee (EPOC) was established to developand implement the process. A management plan was also developed describing the division ofresponsibility amongst the team as well as the implementation of an external advisory board.TrainingIt was very important to attend sessions and review literature related to ABET accreditation.

in this paper.IntroductionThis paper is focused on the use of engineering and physics research-related problems used assenior capstone engineering design projects. Capstone design projects must be focused ondesign and hence are often viewed as incompatible with research projects, which may bediscovery rather than design-oriented and without concrete deliverables. In many cases,however, it is possible to find a design-related problem for an engineering or physics researchproject.The Engineering and Physics Department (EPD) at the University of Central Oklahoma (UCO)has been using research-related design projects to satisfy requirements for a Senior EngineeringDesign course for several years. There are two engineering programs at UCO

Summer physics jamIn order to prepare the students for transfer-level physics courses, Cañada College developed andimplemented an intensive physics review program called Physics Jam. The first Summer PhysicsJam was primarily designed to prepare students for physics I with algebra (physics 210) andphysics I with calculus (physics 250). Since the program was self-paced the instructor selectedrelevant video’s from HippoCampus13, an open education resource, for students to watch. Eachvideo was 5 to 10 minutes long. To guide and help the students with their questions, one tutor forevery five students was hired. The tutors were chosen from students who

The objective of thelaboratory and design experiences is to prepare freshmen and transfer students for upper-levelengineering laboratory courses, as well as senior design courses, required for our majors. Eachlaboratory module, presented during two-hour laboratory sessions, at a rate of one module perweek, provides either an introduction to concepts and tools required to complete

Virtually there wereno interactions between these two courses offered at two departments.In the last several years, under the intense financial pressure more courses have beenconsolidated to reduce the cost.

They felt that the lessons learned from this mentoring programhelped them with their senior design process.ConclusionsOverall, this pilot mentoring program seemed beneficial to both the mentees and the mentors.Future workWe would like to continue this mentoring program during next summer. Also, from the lessonslearned, we wish to implement the program for the entire incoming freshman class enrolled in thefall semester mentored by the entire senior engineering students enrolled in their senior designcourse that lasts for both fall and spring semester.References1

As such, thedevelopment of novel systems and methodologies in physics which improve engineeringeducation have generated much interest. Likewise, diverse populations of students can benefit byinverting this paradigm; using engineering practices and techniques to better communicatephysics.While primarily an engineering college, our institute also offers strong programs in interior andindustrial design. Though not focused on advanced computation, an understanding of physicsconcepts is vital to any good design. The goal of our Conceptual Physics course is thus todevelop the ability of students to evaluate the form and function of their work through anunderstanding

But since nearly everyonerecognizes the economic need to produce more graduates in science, technology, engineering,and math, an alternative to cutting Physics programs entirely was desired. Distance learningtechnology seemed like a reasonable solution to this dilemma. The governor agreed to relaxsome of the minimums if institutions across the state would collaborate on the delivery of low-enrollment courses in these small, costly programs, which in the long term would reduce thenumber of faculty members needed at each institution and thereby reduce the cost to deliver the
