A computer network related program named Computer Network & System Administration (CNSA) was introduced at MichiganTechnological University in 2003 [3]. The purpose of this program was to serve the needs of industry by educating and training studentsto succeed in the field areas of systems administration and network engineering, with an emphasis on network security. An integral partof the CNSA curriculum is a three credit hour course on Directory Services (DS). In the DS course, students are exposed to topics like planning, designing, implementing and troubleshooting various directory serviceproducts, including Microsoft Windows Active Directory
thisflexibility.Descriptive analysis allows us to constantly re-arrange the requirements material in the business.In design, descriptions are assigned to a particular component and have a long life there. Insystems this problem shows itself when object structures are required to relate across each othernot just within. The consequence is that the approach to descriptive analysis is adaptable wherethe rules are flexible and the approach to design is rigid where rigid means following the verywell defined rules needed for engineering a result. It is no wonder then that there is suchdifficulty in building systems that can change or adapt with the enterprise.Methodology UsedThe text nature of flexible requirements implies the use of descriptive models.

Page 24.93.2Traditional Professional Education ModelsThe term continuing or professional education is defined by the Associated Schools ofConstruction’s (ASC) Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) as a program that preparesindividuals to teach adult students in various settings, including basic and remedial educationprograms, continuing education programs, and programs designed to develop or upgrade specificemployment-related knowledge and skills1. Professional development and education in theconstruction industry has been largely prescriptive and followed the advent of new technologies,such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) and LEAN methodologies. While useful tools onprojects, the implementation and education of how to use
these tips are relevant for their particular institutional context. This paper relates my experiences with the team learning workshop model in the MERIT program, during fall semester 2015 in the introductory electronics course (ECE 110) at a large, researchbased university in the American Midwest. The MERIT program uses small group team learning workshops, which is similar to but distinct from a typical discussion or recitation section. These workshop classes 8improve freshman student retention, particularly among underrepresented demographics. MERIT classes typically have 1632 students working together in groups of three or four

For these reasons, we will consider whatadditional scaffolds, curricular revisions, and instructional strategies can be introduced into thenovice classroom to better foster engagement with course material within peer collaborativeactivities to be authentic to what is expected and productive in engineering industry settings.Sharing and Utilizing Peer Feedback While tightly interwoven with the tensions related to peer collaboration, there are uniqueconsiderations with regards to how each of the student groups offered, received, reflected on, andacted upon peer feedback for attaining insight into how students’ experiences and thus

Having said that the overallgrade is structured to reflect the proportion of time spent dealing with team activities, it mustalso be said that this grade breakdown presents some potentially serious shortcomings. First, itshould be noted that it is possible for a student to get 100% on all of the exams and, at the sametime, to fail the course if no team related credit is earned. This basic observation, whether or notaccompanied by considerations concerning the experimental nature of Interactive Dynamics, is atodds with how the traditional sections of Engineering Dynamics are managed.

This is an important problem for electrical andcomputer engineering students as there exist credit hour constraints in curricula, technologychanges very fast, and offering related chain of courses is not very feasible. This paper presentsan approach facilitating the introduction to smart phone application development using shorttemplate projects combined in a template library. The idea is to familiarize students with thewhole development cycle by minimizing code-programming, by having ready-made templateswhich can be manipulated for hands-on experience. The complexity of course materials can bevaried using different set of modules, and thus such learning modules can be offeredindependently

Incorporating these features with theresources targeted toward new student chapters, we envision the student chapter portion of theASEE website as a rich information source for both new and established student chapters.In addition to facilitating communication, the national ASEE organization can also help equipstudent chapters to promote engineering education by providing strategic resources. Oneexample of this is the existing visiting lecturer program. ASEE maintains a list of speakers whocan present at student chapter events, and ASEE also provides partial subsidies to help studentchapters pay for these speakers. Given the potential value of this resource, ASEE should betterpublicize the visiting lecturer
