The Department Curriculum Committee met to review theperformance criteria, and it was decided not to make any changes at this time. However, theDepartment Curriculum Committee asked faculty to make student performance on the criteria aspart of their grade for the activity. The Assessment and Institutional Research Office was alsoasked to provide a seminar and workshop for the CET Department on how to integrate lablearning outcomes to Program Outcome 3(c).4.

clear benefits on implementing group activities and group projects [1,2,3] for learning, including inhigher education. In addition, hands-on applied team work exercises have been shown to have benefitsfor all students and for female students in particular [6]. Collaborative environments also prepare studentsfor work in the industry, where companies expect employees to work well with others and tocommunicate with other members of their professional teams and teams within other departments. We,as educators, sought to design an authentic cross class group experience to help students practice workingin teams and experience the relationship of two closely connected but distinct fields of computer science.In this paper we describe an experiment we

Ideally, an advisory board should teamwith the school to drive the strategic direction while providing advice on various importantissues. Having the right group of people on the board is a key factor in determining howeffective it will be. But, who are the “right” people? And, how should they be organized?According to many academic leaders, the board should be made up of a small, select group ofpeople with a variety of

Each group was assigned a particularfamily of friction parts to work on throughout the semester. The three parts families were1) disc brake pads 2) drum brake shoes and 3) clutch friction disks.Class assignments were focused on the tool of the day.

Instruction to Individual Student Learning StylesAbstract This paper describes the approach and offers preliminary results for our guided on-demandadaptive learning (GOAL) project. GOAL provides asynchronous web-based instruction thatdetects preferred learning styles for each student and adapts the instruction to match the detectedpreference. It also provides a platform for research about learning and for evaluating instruction.Introduction Undergraduate engineering education must change to accommodate the acceleratingdependence of society upon engineering and to harness the evolving strengths of our students.
