Department at Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU) is currently in theprocess of implementing a curricular and laboratory development project that integrates key conceptsand practical experiences in parallel computing throughout the undergraduate curriculum. The goal ofthis project is to build a strong foundation in parallel computing which would optionally culminate inadvanced, senior-level specialized courses in parallel computing and/or senior research projects. This paper describes the laboratory facility we developed to support instruction in parallel anddistributed computing and the parallel computing modules which were incorporated into three of ourcore undergraduate courses: data structures, operating systems, and programming
Session 3257 An Integration Approach to Industrial Engineering Curriculum Design John E. Shea, Tom M. West Oregon State University INTRODUCTION Engineering curricula at most major research universities are driven, in part, by research and technology.Research directions are often defined by funding agencies and major corporations. Faculty learn, develop, andapply the technologies necessary to obtain external funding. This knowledge, combined with individual interests,eventually impacts the

Relevant Literature While literature on problem solving is abundant, the most relevant literature to this proposed study isCarrie Mullins and Cynthia J. Atman’s (1994) “Freshmen Engineer’s Strategies for Solving Open-endedProblems” [sic] published in the ASEE Annual Cotierence Proceedings 1995. The Mullins and Atman work“looks at the freshman engineer as a novice problem solver” (p. 220). The researchers characterized thedifferences

For thisreason, student participation in research is considered an important component of the educational process atSwarthmore. In the medical procedure known as extracorporeal lithotripsy,1 a high-amplitude acoustic shockwave is created by a device known as a lithotripter (from the Latin roots for "stone" and "break intofragments") and focused onto a patient's kidney stone, which is thereby pulverized. The procedure isconsidered much less traumatic than abdominal surgery, and cheaper, since it can be performed on anoutpatient basis. The precise mechanism by which the converging acoustic shock wave breaks the stone isstill a matter of active

Despite these deficiencies, they are working towards a career in academia.Typically, their graduate student responsibilities do not fully prepare them for their future facultypositions.Normally, when recent graduates start their first academic jobs, they have immediate jobpressures. They are expected to quickly learn the inner-workings of their new department,school, and university, while adjusting to life in a new city, starting a research program, servingon a committee, advising students, and, time permitting, teaching. This can be a daunting taskfor someone straight out of graduate school
