comments are extracted from student project reports. Overall, the comments arevery encouraging [10]: • “The Neophyte Receiver design and building experience diverged from my typical laboratory experience in several ways. Normally, the intent is for ‘laboratory experiments’ to enforce lecture topics. That said, a definite sense of compensation for hours spent in the lab could sometimes be lost, especially for an applied engineering technology student. A project such as building a short wave radio gives tangible purpose to time spent with hardware and serves to teach skills that might not otherwise be learned. More indefinable rewards were the ones that mattered most.” • “Attention to

Repeatedly checking andchanging the tables that have a poor initial design can be very laborious. This section presentsprocedures for rapidly teaching students how to obtain a good initial design and techniques forimproving that design that go beyond checking normal forms.

Faculty members like peer grading becausemore gets done in the course, the students are happier, and course evaluations improve.Sometimes peer grading is what should be done!ReferencePrince, M.

In the real world these students will need to sell their ideas and themselves.ConclusionsThe three primary findings from this study are that (1) many UNL engineering students startcollege with weak writing skills; (2) a significant number of these students are graduating withwriting skills below the desired proficiency level; (3) a heuristic based on ACT score, a writingskills test, and a
