instruction is not of the “same quality” as individual-orientedinstruction when it comes to assessment. In this contribution, we will describe someaspects that we believe are helpful to achieve a high level of student involvement in team-oriented environments with a proper assessment of performance. Descriptions related tothese aspects are included below.Why Projects as Final Exams? The use of projects as an enhancement of class instruction,although not widely spread across the curriculum, is known to engineering instructors.These projects, in general, are targeted for the instruction of certain techniques that areeither too involved or too difficult to introduce as a regular topic during the course.However, the assessment of these projects is

We do so through theoretical and methodological lenses unusedpreviously in academic engineering contexts. Specifically, we examine women’s egocentricmentoring networks derived from qualitative interview data. Egocentric mentoring networksconsist of individuals’ self-reported linkages between themselves (i.e., “ego” or hub of thenetwork) and their career developmental “nodes”.29 These network nodes can be resources,technology, and people that serve particular roles connected with departments, associations,institutions, agencies, and other organizations.11 Guided by multiple network theories such ashomophily

ultimate goal is of course to develop such an approach that will allow us to provide abetter-rounded engineering education by exposing students to emerging topical areas throughtheir existing curriculum. We envision this approach to serve as a prototype that can potentiallybe used as a national model primarily by engineering colleges and departments that would like toprovide novel multidisciplinary content for their students, but lack the necessary resources toprovide a full-fledged degree program, and/or to offer a wide spectrum of electives. We also have two specific objectives under this overarching goal: ‚ expose all ECE students – and raise their awareness – to emerging biotechnology topics by providing them with essential

(if their focus was on businessapplications). With the development of microprocessors in the 1960’s, the character of thelandscape began to change. Technology changed, creating demand for engineers whounderstood the hardware and electronics underlying the chips but also were conversant with andcapable of developing the software components of a system. It was not possible to adequatelytreat the topics needed for education of these engineers in the context of a specialization areawithin an electrical engineering program of study. The first computer engineering program wasaccredited by the EAC of ABET in 1971, and between about 1970 and 1990, computerengineering emerged as a separate discipline.
