Our students are no different. They have uniquehistories, goals, stories, and learning styles. As we become more knowledgeable about the waysin which our students hear, understand, interpret, and integrate ideas we can design better classesand better assessment tools. As faculty we need assessment tools which are rigorous, fair, easyto tailor to a particular course or outcome objective, and which can be evaluated or graded.Ideally, we would choose a tool which evaluates higher order or

Feedback from industry partners and advisorycommittees, however, seems to suggest that formal modeling, analysis, and verificationtechniques are not routinely employed in many software development organizations. Softwareengineering educators, especially those focused on preparing undergraduate students for practicein the discipline, encounter a number of issues when they take on the task of teaching andapplying formal methods, including lack of appreciation by undergraduate students of thepotential value and applicability of these techniques, and lack of realistic industry examples or oftextbooks and curricular materials that address real-world software engineering practice

. 1. “These modules would be good for engineers, as most do not think about the environment when they design new products. The main concern when a new product is designed is generally performance and cost. A company generally wants to initially make the product meet specifications. Once the product meets specifications they want to lower the cost of the product. Finally, some companies will look into making the technology green to appeal to a larger demographic. Saying that a product uses green technology/ is recyclable is a strong advertisement method. Therefore, to teach future

Many students have usedtheir work in the class as a jumping-off point, from which they have continued their explorationof radio/audio.

A unified combatant command is anorganization composed of forces from two or more of the armed services and has a broadcontinuing mission. Before the creation of AFRICOM, U.S. military involvement inAfrica was divided among three commands (Europe, Central and Pacific Commands).Due to recent events policymakers felt a more focused strategic approach was needed forAfrica and there was a concern that
