The answer is expected in the form a memorandum to their supervisor.Students should be current in their specialty from the beginning of their careers, right here, at theCollege. Development of their communications skills is also a target.At the beginning of the semester students are assigned a library research project. They canchoose topics freely as long as they are related to electrical engineering/electrical engineeringtechnology field. The structure of the project should reflect the following: 1. Why did I choose this topic 2. What did I know before I started my research 3
Session 1077 Development of an Integrated System for Design Evaluation Mark R. Rajai, Keith V. Johnson, Robert Matthews East Tennessee State University/ University of LouisvilleAbstractIn this paper, two software packages (AutoCAD and Mannequin) are integrated to create anergonomic CAD system. This developed system will provide designers with a powerful graphicaltool to evaluate their design for human factors and safety criteria. An absence of a truly integratedergonomic CAD system that has been desired by many researchers and designers was themotivating factor behind our efforts. Steps taken to

. INTRODUCTIONAt our institution the majority of the undergraduate computer science majors go on to careers as software engineerswith a few continuing directly into graduate education. We have developed a hands-on approach to teachingalgorithms that emphasizes programming, benchmarking and tweaking. This report builds on our experience over athree-year period involving two different courses: “Analysis of Algorithms” and “Bioinformatics Algorithms”. Wefollow standard texts [10, 13], the students frame the problem, describe the solution and express an appropriatealgorithm in pseudocode. They derive a timing function and the Big-O behavior of the algorithm.Students then write programs in C++, C# or Java to implement the algorithms. After thorough testing to
