research, saying “you can see webdevelopment everywhere except in the curricula of the various computing programs.” [11](p. 1)One of the articles in that special issue looks at key concepts used in web development, like basicprogramming principles, decomposition, and abstraction [12]. They suggest that a webdevelopment course might be designed based more on these concepts than the latest methods andtechniques. While we are sympathetic to these concerns, we think you can use up-to-datemethods and techniques and still reinforce those concepts. Fundamentally, those are softwareengineering principles, and they are used in the design and development of all good software.Lui and Phelps also note the challenges of keeping up with the pace of change in

The EDPPSR model asoriginally rendered has a strong theoretical foundation as it has been developed byreference to the literature on the steps of the design process through focus groups andthrough expert review by teachers, faculty and researchers in performance based, portfoliorubrics and assessments. Using the unified construct validity framework, the EDDPSR’svalidity was further established through expert reviewers (experts in engineering design)providing evidence supporting the content relevance and representativeness of theEDPPSR in representing the basic process of engineering design.This manuscript offers empirical evidence that supports the use of the EDPPSR model toevaluate student design-based projects in

Abook published by the National Academy of Engineering and the National Research Council reviews thescope and impact of engineering education in K-12 classrooms25. Engineering in K-12 Education makesseveral recommendations to address curriculum, policy, and funding issues. The book also analyzes anumber of K-12 engineering curricula in depth and discusses what is known from the cognitive sciencesabout how children learn engineering-related concepts and skills. These reports clearly indicate a lack ofa cohesive and effective national approach to K-12 engineering education. Furthermore there is generalagreement that increasing the number of students interested in

The field of distance education has alsogrown rapidly incorporating substantial improvements in the use of media, pedagogies, andrelated technologies.The advent of new accreditation criteria in EC 2000 provided the stimulus for engineeringeducators to reevaluate programs and curriculum, an exercise that also led many to reconsiderteaching methods and learning styles. Coincident with this movement was the emergence of newtechnologies offering the potential to permanently alter the traditional classroom experience.The challenge has been to exploit these technologies in a way that enhances the learningexperience without overly burdening faculty or compromising their role in the education process.The primary objective of this project was to

The student teams work together to create solutions todesign problems defined by companies. These projects are “owned and managed” by the studentteams with company contacts providing appropriate data and information and with faculty serving asadvisors only. Mistakes made by the teams therefore are sometimes inevitable but this is consideredto be pedagogically an important lesson in design. The students must interact not only with theircompany but also with their team mates in order to accomplish team goals. The assessment of theseimportant interactions and the resulting changes to the courses are discussed.Traditionally

I started to take more of a backseat, rather than actively contributing to discussions too. During the 5R's assignment, I brought up a role, but I did not have any reasoning as to why I thought it was a role, so the team dismissed it. I also had multiple concerns during the 5R's assignment, such as the level of detail in the Results and Resources or the lack of contribution from a team member, but the rest of the team did not see the issue so I felt like I had to let it go for the sake of the team dynamic. After the 5R's assignment, I found that I fell back into the habit of

in a Freshman Introduction to Electrical and Computer EngineeringIntroductionThe issue of how to most effectively teach ethics in engineering education continues to be apersistent concern in the field. As early as the 1940s, engineering professionals articulated afocus on public safety, health, and welfare. The Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology (ABET) solidified this focus when it adopted criteria requiring that ethicalresponsibility be included in curricula of accredited institutions [1]. As a result, college textbookauthors soon began to include information about professional and ethical responsibility in theirpublications [2]. Over time, these trends have increased scholarly interest in the
