A second report, involving virtual and face-to-face design teams, found no difference in completion times and quality of task outcome.30The third article reports that first-year students that participated in a learning community

To further their multidisciplinary query into computersand electronics, students constructed a digital roller coaster speedometer, as a method todetermine the relative speeds of the vehicle at varying locations on the roller coaster track, andthe impact of vehicle design and weight on speed.

The goal for the engineering students was to build new interprofessional skills, whilereinforcing technical skills. The collaborative activities included: (1) training with HummingbirdBitTM hardware (e.g. sensors, servo motors) and coding platform, (2) preparing robotics lessonsfor fifth graders that explained the engineering design process (EDP), and (3) guiding the fifthgraders in the design of their robots. Additionally, each undergraduate engineering studentdesigned a robot following the theme developed with their preservice teacher and fifth gradepartners. The intervention

The paper outlines, in detail, several straightforward approaches that can beemployed to achieve accurate updates to CPM construction schedules.1) The importance of accurate updates. Students in civil engineering technology programs often gain practice in developing CPM construction schedules. They are exposed to the essentials of
engineering technology curriculums and thus do not require a great dealof faculty time to prepare.These programs will help build and maintain relationships between engineering educators andindustry in our region and facilitate keeping our faculty current in their teaching fields.Participants are typically employed in industry and interested in developing new skill sets or Page 9.387.1 Proceedings of the 2004 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright © 2004, American Society for Engineering Educationupdating existing skill sets.

Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright © 2004, American Society for Engineering EducationWhile the understanding of active components such as transistors and passive components suchas resistors, inductors and capacitors was useful, the training of these graduates was not basedsolely on this. Training of these graduates was based rather on the modular and system levels.For this, the students were taught the functions and hence applications of the modules and theinterfaces needed to connect them together, taking into account the different standards employedin industry. The students were taught the various types of equipment needed to measure factorssuch as voltage and current levels, and frequency of
informal, low-key relationships between faculty began toassume a more formal structure. Aeronautical Technology (AOT) is a combination of applicationbased and engineering technology education. A major strength is expertise in fabrication andrepair of aircraft structure. Aeronautical & Astronautical Engineering (AAE) is more concernedwith design. Students in AAE have opportunity for application of design into practice on alimited basis compared to AOT. This has become increasingly evident in the AAE design courses.
