UML and Design Layers Provide a Course Design Paradigm and Notation to Create Robust Technology Courses in Rapidly Changing Environments C. Richard G. Helps, Stephen R. Renshaw, Information Technology, Brigham Young UniversityAbstractRapid changes in technology require frequent course re-designs and new lab equipment forvarious portions of the course. Keeping up with these changes requires significant time fromfaculty and also requires substantial financial support. We need methods for designing andmodifying portions of courses to allow teaching of the most current technology without acontinuous complete re-design of the whole course. The Design Layers

The Departmental laboratories are outfitted with modern experimental equipment inthe areas of Manufacturing and Electronics. Through collaboration with high schools and localindustry the Department constantly seeks to provide avenues for future workforce development.These collaborative efforts culminated into the development of a novel educational program withsecondary schools to promote entry into engineering and technology programs, especiallyamongst girls and minorities.

If it is outside his or her specialty area it is mystified.”7I recently conducted an informal survey of students in my junior year engineering design course,asking, among other questions, “How would you describe your level of knowledge abouttechnology?” In keeping with the foregoing examples of equivocation on the part of
