), engineering education has seen a shift to the importance of design andproblem solving. The approach has been to educate by specific engineering field [24].Largely, students have relied on internships and coop programs to gain experience in the field.Capstone design projects with external clients are also common in engineering curricula,providing students opportunities to work on real problems with external clients. It is verycommon for students to reflect on these experiences highlighting a greater sense of clarity aboutengineering and its application. Indeed, when asked about their favorite or most impactfulexperience at the time of graduation, it is common that students highlight internship, coop andcapstone design experiences. Outside of capstone

fast and comparable (in terms of rate ofproduction of QRNs) to other existing QRNGs [6-8] since we need a large number of uniformlydistributed random numbers for real-world applications. It may not be impossible to produce anideal QRNG probably after very complicated computations needing unacceptable time toproduce each QRN. Such a production, if possible, may not be usable/acceptable in practicalapplications in a meaningful way. Several methods have been developed by Halton [9], Sobol [10], Faure[11], and Niederreiter[12] for generating QR sequences for real-world applications. Fox [13] compared the efficiencyof Halton and Faure QRNGs and a linear congruential PRNG. Bratley et al. [14] included SobolQRNG in this comparison. QR sequences

The Felder-Solomon index of learning styles (ILS) captures learning preferences [5] on four subscales, andeach of the subscales represents one learning dimension: Sensing-Intuitive, Visual-Verbal,Active-Reflective and Sequential-Global. The ILS has been used widely in studying the effectsof learning styles on various outcomes. Zywno and Waalen[6] used the ILS in a study exploringhow differences in learning styles affected learning outcomes when students receivedhypermedia instruction in electrical engineering.

macroethical issues when responding.In a study by Harding et al.18 of engineering students with work experience, the unethical contextmost frequently noted as temptations in the workplace were improper use of company resources,followed by falsifying records, ignoring product quality problems, and lying about work quality.Less than 20% of the students noted being tempted to ignore safety problems, accept impropergifts from vendors, or take credit for others’ work. These issues all seem to be primarilymicroethical concerns. The cited reasons for being tempted toward unethical workplace behaviorwere most often associated with the notion that “everyone does it”, followed by “I wanted toseem better than I was” and “someone told me to do it”.p. 10Annual

While for some disciplines, such as electrical and computerengineering, the differences between virtual and actual experiments are small [8], for otherdisciplines such as chemical engineering there are some topics that are very difficult to simulateeffectively.Benefits to virtual laboratories include fewer necessary physical resources, the ability forasynchronous experimentation, and the ability in some cases to provide more intellectuallychallenging problems than traditional theory-based labs [9]. However, these courses come withtheir own set of problems. Disparities in resources such as Internet access and reliable computerhardware can lead to problems with inequity between students [10].

The common factor between all these methodsis that the student develops knowledge through the gathering and analyzing of information.Educators who employ the learner-center approach are required to develop activities that meet thegoals of each specific subject while enhancing the learning experience of the student.
