undergraduate research program on theacademic progress of the participating minority students is described.I. IntroductionAs described by Chickamenahalli & Barker1, Madler 2, and Kitto3, initiatives have been taken bymany universities and colleges in the past few years to improve participation of undergraduatestudents in research. Also, many educational institutions have increased their efforts to involveundergraduate minority students in research projects. The undergraduate research opportunitieshelp both the faculty and the students. Students involved in research get valuable researchexperience and the opportunity to publish papers. Faculty members participating inundergraduate research programs get valuable research work done. The undergraduate

In relation to the ideas justpresented, the proseminar she describes can be seen as blending the journal club emphasis ondiscussion of specific articles with the curation and broad trends emphasis of “the list” [9]. InMetz’s reflective report, which is based on three years of engagement with the design andexecution of the proseminar, she draws attention to issues such as the emotional work involvedin surfacing assumptions and coming to new understandings and the potentially long timescale offully appreciating the value

model with specific examples that may be used as aguide within the curriculum of those educators committed to integrating ethics in engineeringeducation. Kohlberg’s theory has produced a great deal of empirical research on student’s moraldevelopment and demonstrates that people progress in their moral reasoning, which is the basisfor ethical behavior, through a series of stages. These stages are germane to understanding theprofessional moral development of engineers.8 Because most engineering faculty are unaware ofthe theory and/or how to implement it into an engineering course or curriculum, this paper andpresentation will briefly discuss the theory in general and focus on steps to facilitate theintegration of the theory in the classroom

Session 2313 A Real Time Approach to Process Control Education – A Paradigm Shift William Svrcek, Donald Mahoney*, Brent Young† University of Calgary / Hyprotech Ltd*.AbstractThe traditional approach to process control education has been to employ the classical methodsof process control that were originally developed as a substitute for the real time simulation ofprocess systems. It is our contention that with the availability of fast and easy to use simulationsoftware, classical methods have limited relevance for process control education. In
this model of education are numerous andwell supported by recent research in cognitive psychology. Both faculty and students mustrethink our respective roles and responsibilities in the process, and adapt our behavioraccordingly. For faculty this may mean, among other things, rethinking our definitions oflearning and teaching, rethinking the way we design and implement courses, and understandingmore about our students and how they learn. For some faculty the changes aren’t small - forexample, they are learning what kinds of questions to ask, how to design more effectiveassignments, how to provide guided practice, and what kinds of feedback promote betterlearning.The good news is that many campuses already have in place support structures to
