Tree ServoThe Christmas tree was bolted to the snowman’s left hand and a servo was used to connect theleft arm to the body. The servo moves the left arm which in turn, pulls the tree aside revealingthe snowman. Due to the combined weight of the arm and the tree, a strong servo with a highstarting torque was necessary. Also, this display would be required to run 12 hours a day for amonth, so the selected servo had to be tough enough to handle the intense usage. After doingsome research on the internet, the students decided to use the heavy duty SSPS-105 servo madeby Tonagawa Seiko. This

The Pew Research Center’sInternet & American Life Project and Elon University’s Imagining the Internet Center askeddigital stakeholders to weigh two scenarios for 2020. One posited substantial change and theother projected only modest change in higher education. Some 1,021 experts and stakeholdersresponded - 39% agreed with a scenario that articulated modest change by the end of the decade.Most universities’ assessment of learning and their requirements for graduation will be about thesame as they are now. Whereas, 60% agreed with a scenario outlining more change: By 2020,higher

These projects have createdconsiderable interest among faculty members from other departments within the University,some of who have expressed a desire to participate in future projects of the type. Suggestionshave also been made that collaborative competitions might be conducted in the future betweenteams from Purdue University and other universities here and abroad.IntroductionDue to the evolution of engineering science research beginning in the 1960s, the emphasis ofengineering education became more strongly biased towards the science of engineering, andaway from the application of engineering (McMaster & Matsch, 1996; Hayes & Wheelwright,1984)1 That shift in

cultural shock was experienced during the transitionfrom industry to education. This ranged from excitement to anxiety including a wide array ofemotions in between. Actually this was nothing new. Everyone has experienced it before andsurvived. Just recall the feelings from that first day on the job after graduating from college.Typically it begins at a high point with some trepidation, followed by a low point when realityhits and then settles into a steady state as a semblance of a normal routine appears.How can this transition be made as smooth as possible? Tackling the problem as an engineer,research would be the first step. Many excellent books and papers have been written on effectiveteaching techniques and practices including those by Gupta

Further, research has shown that bad news is often not passed upto higher levels in an organization, and even when it is, people are less likely to believe it thangood news13. Hierarchical relationships where contracts need to be protected exacerbate thistendency.

. ConstructivismPrior to examining how to improve student learning we attempted to attain adeeper understanding of how students learn and construct knowledge.Constructivism is the dominant theory of learning today, the basis of which isthat students must actively construct knowledge rather than passively absorb itvia lectures. According to Ben-Ari considerable research has been undertaken inthis field but commented: ‘‘However, I could not find articles on constructivism in computer science education compared to the vast literature in mathematics and physics education’ and that ‘it can provide a new and powerful set of concepts to guide our debates on CSE (Computer Science Education)’’ 8

geometry provides the tools to design systems andsubsystems of order, hierarchies, and patterns and ultimately to describe the building asa complex network. Obviously, dimensional coordination in the design process isessential in the fabrication and construction processes as well.The role of geometry in the education of the architectural engineer is an old one. Yet,with the advent of computers, which replaced many of the manual graphical processestraditionally taught to engineers, and the increased need for specialized courses, the indepth study of geometry has been downplayed in the curricula of most architecturalengineering programs. As a result, low performance in geometric conceptualization andvisualization has been often identified as a
