Results of the learning stylequestionnaire verified that the engineering students are strong visual learners. Two of theparticipants are shown to have preference on visual learning. Participant 3’s response showed hewas both a visual and auditory learner.Figure 14 summarizes the results on the technology acceptance model (TAM).

While PoS malware does not represent anymajor technical evolution, it suggests that cybercrime is shifting focus from the consumer to theretailer.

DEBATES- A TOOL FOR EFFECTIVE EGAGEMET OF STUDETS Robert M. Brooks and Amithraj Amavasai Abstract The authors have been continuously fascinated by the role of debates in effective engagement of students. Debates have been well recognized as a valuable tool for the assessment of educational objectives. In the Fall 06 semester, debates were used as a tool for learning the subject in an environmental science course, C010- Environmental Science. Students were asked to make handwritten notes while the debates were on progress. There were six debates in the course. The final examination contained conceptual questions, including the contents of the debates. Except for

difficulty imagining how the system response would changeif one of the input parameters (mass, stiffness, damping, frequency of applied force, etc.) isincreased or decreased. The manner that we decided to address this deficiency was to createinteractive simulation modules (ISMs) in MATLAB that incorporate one or more of thesubcategories shown in Figure 1 in a simple demonstration and allow for the input parameters tobe modified by the user. Figure 1. Basic topics covered in a typical Vibrations courseThe framework of employing simulation modules as a learning tool is based on the fact thatmuch of the research in engineering education suggests that most engineering students are visual(as opposed to verbal) learners [2-3

Early, somewhat informal, exposure to the design process andalgorithm development process also shows students that the field is a lot more than simplyprogramming and that programming simply allows practitioners to implement their solutions anddesigns.

Incorporating these features with theresources targeted toward new student chapters, we envision the student chapter portion of theASEE website as a rich information source for both new and established student chapters.In addition to facilitating communication, the national ASEE organization can also help equipstudent chapters to promote engineering education by providing strategic resources. Oneexample of this is the existing visiting lecturer program. ASEE maintains a list of speakers whocan present at student chapter events, and ASEE also provides partial subsidies to help studentchapters pay for these speakers.
