codify what we know about open (source) design with a view to using thisknowledge to develop and evolve new courses and projects with these methods. We take opensource to be a transparent, collaborative process for developing public knowledge that is free atthe source, whether for a design or otherwise. The most well known examples are Linux andWikipedia, but there are many enterprises that qualify such as the Open Source Initiative, theElectronic Frontier Foundation, YouTube, Scribd, Creative Commons and Firefox. Here we willtell the story around the case of Linux.1The paper maps the philosophy and concepts of Open Design,2 linked historically to a distinctsocial philosophy frequently dubbed libertarian in the United States but which has equal

curriculumand one that can be replicated by other construction programs seeking to add practical hands-onlabs to their curricula. The Submittal ProcessSubmittals are an essential part of the design and construction process and consist of shopdrawings, product data, and samples (O’Leary, 2003). For the purposes of this lab, shopdrawings and product data were the most applicable aspect of the submittals. As defined by theAIA, shop drawings include “diagrams, schedules and other data specially prepared for the Workby the Contractor or Subcontractor … to illustrate some portion of the work” (AIA, 2007, 15).These are typically drawings of items fabricated for a specific project. Product data informationis generally viewed

27612AbstractWe have conducted a survey of engineering faculty at the eight SUCCEED coalition universitiesto identify the training needs and present levels of experience with various technologies. Theresults of that survey are presented in this paper.The most surprising finding from the survey is that, despite the wide differences in theCoalition’s colleges of engineering (in size, student demographics, and research-teachingemphasis, for example), the survey results are similar for all campuses. This is important in thatit implies that the survey results may be widely applicable to other universities, even given thedisparate state of technology integration and availability across campuses today.Generally, the survey found a high correlation between

This application uses keyboard inputs to create Bitmap displaypatterns, with color addresses representing pixels. The task involves setting a starting pixel and usingkeyboard commands for drawing, reflecting basic HLL logic operations and control flows. This lab'sstructure is in line with notional machine principles as described in [9], sharing pedagogical purposeswith lab 3.1. With regards to the Focus aspect, the

Otherresearch studies point to individual student experiences that reference classroom belonging, butthat literature tends to emphasize the influence of peers rather than faculty. This paper helps to fillthat gap by exploring the differential influence of faculty support practices on classroom belongingfor majoritized and minoritized students. A. Belongingness & genderSome strands of research have suggested that engineering females perceive lesser feelings ofbelonging than males. Pearson et al.

Finally, the results of the qualitative analysis are discussed in the context of ABETbioengineering/BME program-specific criteria to add to on-going work on how BME identitymay be developed during an undergraduate program. This work represents an important initialstep in addressing the alignment of stakeholder understanding of BME and also

NDT technologies. The first stage of the plan was todetermine those NDT procedures which have the most potential use in civil engineering andcould readily be adapted to classroom applications. The second step was to locate suppliers anddetermine the financial cost vs. teaching benefits. The third step was simply the acquisition andde-bugging of the equipment. The final step was to develop lab procedures which could easilybe integrated into the current curriculum.NDT is still considered an emerging field in civil engineering, thus it is difficult to determine thefull impact of these procedures. However, on a smaller scale the success of these methods isindisputable. During the careers of the current generation of civil engineers NDT methods

engagementopportunity requires six key components: 1) an instructor or facilitator, 2) a community partner,3) a student, 4) academic context, 5) reflective thinking, and 6) meaningful service. An exampleof a service learning project is when an engineering major has been assigned to a local highschool to assist students to prepare for a robotics competition. In this situation, the service isproviding a learning opportunity to the provider of the service and the recipients of the service(to include the high school students and the teacher).Service learning enhances students’ academic and civic engagement through a combination oftraditional learning activities and community services. Often civic involvement is one of theimportant student-learning outcomes in
