It became easy to see that the workshopwas really only a poor preparation for a paper produced much later and not a good introductionto necessary communication skill acquisition or remembrance. The issue of communication inthe real world was lost in most of the co-ops’ minds. When it was realized that not enough wasbeing done for the students’ needs, the current structure of addressing communication wasimplemented without the workshop.The new plan attempts to bring students closer to the communication activities of the workplaceand to allow them to see the importance of communication along with their technical expertise.In changing the focus of

Implementing Senior Design Projects in the Developing WorldAbstractThe author teaches in a moderately sized engineering program at Baylor University. We havethree engineering majors. Historically we have had all of the senior students in one senior designclass, working on one project. This worked fine when the graduating class was less than 20students. Students were forced to work in interdisciplinary teams. Now, however, ourgraduating class has grown to more than 50. The old model would no longer work very well.We have changed our model to have multiple senior design projects, mentored by severaldifferent faculty members. We have had a long term involvement with engineering serviceprojects in developing countries. This past year we combined these in

All web materials at that time werewritten in HyperText Mark-up Language (HTML). The author jumped at the chance to learnabout this new vehicle for use in teaching and with the leadership of Professor Wright, they putforth a modest web page (by today’s standards) that provided students access to courseinformation, course calendar, assignments, and reference materials for course topics. Eachsemester from then on, the web page would be updated and expanded to provide moreinformation, especially detailed examples of engineering economics concepts and links to sourceand reference

Theauthor intends to employ the inclusion of review problems on homework assignments in othercourses he teaches and will continue to gather data to better understand answers to the threequestions described in the assessment above.The largest area of concern concerns time. This must be monitored carefully and better ways tounderstand how much time is being spent by students on review problems should be considered.For example, rather than circulating an anonymous survey in class after the fact, perhaps studentscould record how much time they spend on the two portions of the assignment ((1) reviewproblems and (2) new topics) directly on their submitted work.To improve efficiency of

Data were gathered on pre/post evaluation forms, which included questions with a five-point Likert scale and open ended questions (as anecdotal evidence). A comparison of responsesacross the pre/post instruments revealed changes in perception on the use of design as a methodof instruction. While there was only one significant finding, there were interesting implications.Finally, recommendations for the use of design-as-a-method-of-instruction are presented.Introduction The Chinese National Curriculum Standard for Technology Education for High
