Processing with MapReduce. The course provides a good coverage of the general topics, but seems to be a collage of related talks from other authors, and its implementation seems to lack a coherent framework. The course is good at addressing applications, with some underlying computer science related to the technologies, but does not address Big Data in Science. Precision Practice with Big Data [31] at Stanford University is an application survey course. The course does not cover Hadoop or MapReduce. From our assessment from available material, there does not seem to be sufficiently detailed information for applied programming. However, the course has been taught since 2008 and considers information policy issues, so it has had the

As might be expected, the various engineering disciplines havebeen impacted to varying degrees. In the systems and controls area, the design paradigm shiftemphasizes the need for students to understand the practical issues (such as modeling andimplementation) associated with control system design.

Capstone ProjectAbstractIn undergraduate engineering programs, ABET criteria requires a capstone or integratingexperience to allow students to develop competencies in technical and non-technical problemsolving. These capstone experiences typically take the form of a year-long or semester-longproject that requires a group of senior students to work as a team to identify, define, design,prototype, and test their final product to solve an engineering problem. Ideally the students onthese teams contribute fairly and equitably to the project so that each individual can develop theirskills, but it is not unusual to see students on the team who do not contribute their fair share.Often, graded assessments in these capstone courses are team submissions and

Then we can prepare a lecture on different numerical ways one can deal with this concept and equation. In addition, we can include a couple of industrial applications by having the right engineers in the related industries show the application aspects of their production. The same subject, then, can be treated via history of science as well as history of technology. For example, the equation was

One area of interest to policymakers and industry leaders is elementary and middle gradeseducation, where initial aspirations to a STEM career take root through encounters with mathand science that can predict later achievement within these fields.
