The presentations were done usingpresentation software and had to resemble the presentation a consulting firm would give to a client whenpresenting the final design product prior to bidding. The audience was asked to provide the design teamwith a honest critique of the project and these evaluations were incorporated into the presentation grade.Un-resolved IssuesOne of the major issues that continues to plague group activities in academia is assessment of individualeffort of the students by the faculty. It is clear to the casual observer that there are frequently non-performers in a group as well as over-performers. Educators are encouraged to minimize self-evaluation bythe students. The

The Equation Activity we discuss here is the outgrowth of this desire.Previous attempts at this type of activity involved either of two common assessment methods.The program could be pre-coded with as many possible correct answers as the developers couldanticipate, and the students’ answer was checked against this list for a match. Otherwise thestudents’ equation and the correct equation could each be numerically evaluated, and thosevalues compared to within certain set tolerances. The latter is called the zero equivalenceproblem4.The mission of Project Links is to develop educational materials that link mathematical topicswith applications in engineering and science.

only lectures, but also hands-on labs remotely. Traditionally,online courses were heavily weighted towards lecture and paper assessments; this was justifieddue to lab hardware cost, lab availability, and inability to objectively measure student labperformance. While cost remains a factor in any course with a lab component, implementing newtechnologies such as virtualization and cloud computing has mitigated and in some casescompletely removed ancillary lab issues. Different virtual lab approaches, centralized ordecentralized, have been tested or implemented in many educational institutions1,2,3,4.

As a result of these meetings, changes andimprovements to the Bologna Declaration have occurred, an example of which is the changefrom two cycles (undergraduate and graduate, essentially master degrees) to three cycles(bachelor, master and doctorate).It should be noted that as with any process put forth and organized by the political organizationsof sovereign states, the Bologna Process does have its detractors, particularly among theacademic community.

The USDepartment of Energy study 6 shows that fuel cell distributed power generation has the lowestdependency on petroleum energy because the natural-gas-based generation technologiesconsume insignificant amount of petroleum due to the recovery and processing of the naturalgas. In Europe, it has been estimated 7 that per life cycle assessment, each kWh of electricityproduced by fuel cell technology can reduce CO2 emissions by more than 40% compared tothose from fossil fuel.Because fuel cells can be significantly small, the technology is also very attractive for use insmall portable consumer electronics.

One specific reviewers’recommendation was to discuss the PO list with the stakeholders and realign them to matchABET Criterion 3. Since this recommendation the faculty have sought input and consensus fromall of the program stakeholders. The result of the stakeholder input is to rewrite the PO list tomatch the ABET Criterion 3 list as recommended.After consultation with stakeholders the following decisions were made. The mission and PEOswould not undergo any changes. The POs were changed to be aligned exactly with the ABET 3,a-k outcomes.

These factors include the curriculum and language use,rules, community.A mixed methods approach24 will be taken in assessing the results. This approach involves thecollection and/or analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data, which seems particularlyrelevant for the proposed work. A key feature of mixed methods research is its methodologicalpluralism or eclecticism, which frequently results in superior research (compared to mono-method research).VI.

A retrospective look at thecourse and lessons learned are offered.Background and MotivationSince the early 1990s, the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech hasrequired all Ph.D. students to complete three semester credit hours of a Teaching Practicumduring the course of their doctoral studies. In the Teaching Practicum, students work closelywith a faculty member in all aspects of teaching a course. This includes the preparation anddelivery of a limited number of lectures, learning the basics of course design, and administeringstudent assessments and evaluations. The course text is Teaching Engineering, by P.C. Wankat& F.S. Oreovicz.1 A typical syllabus

For academic year 2006 – 2007, the D/C&MEformed three student teams, each team containing four ME majors, with one ME faculty memberas an advisor. The capstone was also opened to students in the Department of ElectricalEngineering and Computer Science (D/EE&CS). The D/EE&CS faculty approved two ElectricalEngineering (EE) majors and three Computer Science (CS) majors for inclusion in one of theUAV design teams. This unique structure offered us the opportunity to not only assess thechanges made in the capstone design from the first year to the second, but also the ability tocompare and contrast the performance and

The aforementioned scenario can be presented with an ensuingdiscussion on how to deal with it in a way that keeps the team moving forward and preserves theesprit de corps. The author suggests bringing up the following points to the students: 1. Avoid over commitment by realistically assessing your available time for the project. 2. Don’t agree to do something at the same meeting in which you have a “great” idea. Take some time to research the idea or device and fully understand the scope of the project. You may
