.Statistically significant differences were seen in confidence solving open-ended problems,confidence in personal/interpersonal skills, and overall confidence (p=0.032, p=0.001, p=0.000,respectively). Interestingly, there was not a statistically significant change from before to after inmath and science confidence, despite the technical nature of the student research experiences(p=0.314). All changes were in the positive direction indicating increased confidence from Pre toPost intervention, as overall confidence levels increased from a mean of 3.85 to 4.25 on a 5-pointscale.

Here we provide additional dataon the testing of a sample of 120 students’ (freshman through graduate) ability to recognize andresolve ethical dilemmas.BackgroundUntil recently engineering educators focused primarily on providing students with technicalskills and gave little priority to developing skills for societal decision-making, or even makingstudents aware of the societal dimensions of engineering [8]. By 1999, only 27% of ABET ac-credited institutions listed an ethics-related course requirement [9], even though an increasingnumber of philosophers, engineers and ethicists were focusing

Since they are working in groups of 3 to 5students, they are able to support each other, sharing their strengths and learning styles. Whenthese labs have been run in the past, a collaborative buzz fills the room. By requiring writtenreports for both labs, the students have to reflect on their tests and observations.The writing required is “expressive,” requiring students to think through the problems presented.According to Julie Sharp, “… engineering educators can use writing-to-learn assignments to helpstudents learn technical material,” (Sharp, 1997).

’s (Lorenz 1963; Baker and Gollub 1996; Flake 2001). The dictionary meaning of the word “chaos” is complete disorder or confusion. Chaosin science and engineering refers to an apparent lack of order in a system thatnevertheless obeys certain laws and rules. This understanding of chaos is the same as thatof dynamical instability. Deterministic system can produce results which are chaotic andappear to be random. But these are not technically random because the events can bemodeled by a nonlinear procedure/formula. The pseudo-random number generator in acomputer is an example of such a system. A system which is stable, linear or non-chaoticunder certain conditions may degenerate into randomness or unpredictability (may bepartial) under other

design asynchronous circuits. The widespreadintroduction of asynchronous digital design in the classroom is largely constrained by the lack ofintroductory educational material. This paper will present one approach for integratingasynchronous circuit design into the undergraduate Computer Engineering curriculum, focusingon inclusion in a course on Hardware Design Languages (HDLs), such as VHDL. The proposedmethod utilizes a VHDL library of asynchronous gates, components, and functions, which can beused to design asynchronous circuits of various complexities. The asynchronous topics fit nicelyinto the discussion of VHDL generate statements.g The author gratefully acknowledges the support from the National Science Foundation under CCLI grant DUE
