From a CDIO workspace perspective, workspaces can provide design-centric workareas where the students can conduct more detailed design studies using CAD tools as well asother analytical means of performing trade studies via parametric variations. The attributes oftypical CDIO Design workspaces include access to computers, printers, and graphic devices, aswell as discussion areas where results can be presented to other students, to faculty and staff, andto outside reviewers. The Physical Prototype Laboratory at Chalmers University of Technology,Göteborg, Sweden is a good example of a CDIO workspace that provides undergraduates fromprograms

typical chemical engineering undergraduate corecurriculum has not adapted to prepare students for the multiple needs encompassed by thechemical industry. Lack of industry-relevant examples/topics and applications in the coursecontents results in less motivated and/or engaged students. Students therefore often struggleto identify with the profession and are not ready for the workforce when they graduate. ThisNSF PFE: RIEF project examines a unique experience where a student-faculty-industryintegrated community is created to help bridge the gap between industry needs and thecompetencies developed within chemical engineering programs.The project's main goal is to better understand how implementing up-to-date industryproblems into one of the

Therevision was thought to be necessary because of structural weakness in the curriculum and poorperception of the subject by academic staff and students. The outcome of the new curriculumwas measured through a questionnaire at the end of the semester. The response of the studentsto this survey placed the subject in the the difficult and complex arena in the academic domain,but the results of the survey also suggested high satisfaction with the new curriculum andindicated that it provided an interesting path into the discipline and profession of engineering.INTRODUCTION In 1996 the faculty of

Each team is required to consult with a faculty mentor who teaches the corecourse in their project area. This mentor advises the team on the applicability of theirproject to this course and often continues to work with them after the course ends tofurther develop the software. Due in part to this mentoring structure, many of theseprojects have already found their way into core ECE course materials, either as in-classpresentations, or as one-on-one demonstrations incorporated into class web pages

History of the Development of Engineering Economic Representation within A.S.E.EAbstractThe development of the Engineering Economy Division of A.S.E.E. was an outgrowth ofthe technical progress of the field of engineering economics beginning in 1877 with thepublications of Arthur M. Wellington. As these new methodologies were formed, a fewengineering faculty began to realize that this material should be an integral part of theengineering curriculum. This paper traces the formation in 1942 of the IndustrialEngineering Division in the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education(S.P.E.E., the forerunner of A.S.E.E.) and how these members played a critical role in the1956 formation of the Engineering Economy Division for the

Electrocardiographicmonitors and implantable cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators all need to perform signalprocessing but each has a very different set of constraints, e.g. energy. Very different methodsare employed, for example subthreshold analog or switch/capacitor implementations with onlyvery limited DSP in a cardiac pacemaker, and nearly full DSP implementations in an externaldevice. Within the category of DSP there are many different possible approaches.We developed a course module, partly web-based, which presents several relevant signalprocessing methods and shows their application.
