Abington toexplore the use of portable MP3 players, podcasting and related technologies. The problem-based learning(PBL) approach allows for the introduction of computer engineering and IT concepts as well as exposure tosocial and ethical issues (e.g. copyright, digital rights management), all in the context of the podcastingtechnology theme. Students are exploring existing podcast content and are also creating podcasts in avariety of areas using low-cost software and hardware tools. The tools, experiences, and preliminaryoutcomes of this course development will be of value to educators who are interested in applying podcasttechnology to enhance learning in many areas of education.Keywords: MP3 player, podcasting, RSS, problem-based learning (PBL

additional office hour for one ortwo weeks is useful for targeted needs. Small group meetings with three or four students benefitthose who need more direct contact time with a professor. Another approach that I use at thebeginning of solution thermodynamics is to meet the students in a computer cluster to work ontheir skills with the programs Excel and Mathcad. These students have a basic understanding ofthese programs from previous chemical engineering courses in our department but need to learnhow to use advanced features of these programs that are not well documented for use in mycourse. For example, the Solver tool in Excel is useful for finding the solution to a nonlinearsystem of algebraic equations or for fitting any model equation to a given

offers a uniqueprogram of study in Fire Protection Engineering at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Weoffer the only fully accredited undergraduate program and one of the two graduate degreeprograms in the U.S. in this area. Fire Protection Engineering includes the thermal and fluidsciences, combustion, materials, human behavior, egress modeling, toxicity, and reliability andrisk analysis. In this field, we focus on reducing the burden of fire losses through engineeringdesign, development, and research. Fire Protection Engineers may be involved with the designof fire protection systems; the analysis of fire protection performance in buildings, nuclear powerplants, or even aerospace vehicles; or research in areas such as fire propagation

In this one course,engineering students must learn combinatorics, conditional probability, discrete andcontinuous probability density functions and their parameter estimators, statisticalinferences from confidence intervals to hypothesis tests, linear regression method, andpossibly even joint probability density functions [2]. Hogg [3] proposed a list of basicstatistical concepts, which emphasizes experimental designs and quality control, for asecond-year engineering course. One main problem for implementing such statisticscourse is most second-year students have not taken their program-specific courses, suchas machine component design course in mechanical engineering, to appreciate theinterplay between statistics (e.g., safety factor

It is especially advantageous when applied to courseswhich serve as introductions – not necessarily first-year oriented, but those courses that providethe first look into a sub-discipline, such as electromagnetics. Also, as an introduction, a goodreview of PBL and PBL-related research is available4, along with definition and characteristicsof PBL: “Project-based learning (PBL) is a model that organizes learning around projects.According to the definitions found in PBL handbooks for teachers, projects are complex tasks,based on challenging

In particular, the Accreditation Boardfor Engineering and Technology (ABET) specifies outcomes that university graduates in engi-neering and technology must meet for their programs to be accredited [1] . Commonly referred toas outcomes 3a-k, these criteria include, “an ability to communicate effectively,” and “an abil-ity to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems,” as well as, “an ability to function onmultidisciplinary teams.” Many of these criterion are generally difficult to teach and assess effec-tively with informative lectures and closed form questions.Problem-based learning methods, however, can be much more effective at achieving these goals.Felder and
