The equivalent comparison for the fall 2007 term was 3.94 millionstudents; the equivalent number was only 1.6 million students when the survey began in2002.When referring to an online course versus a face-to-face course the Babson survey states that“…there is one dimension that academic leaders believe is equivalent for both types ofcourses – the level of student satisfaction.” In fact the survey data show that academic leadersbelieve that students satisfaction is roughly equal regarding face-to-face and online courses inthe following areas: “Support for students with different leaning styles,” “Student-to-facultycommunications,” and “Presentation of course material.” Similar comparisons in the area of

A cost summary for the experimental apparatus can be found inAppendix A.Student ExperimentThe conduction heat transfer apparatus was integrated into a lab assignment made to resemble areal-world, industry-based problem. Students were given a scenario in which they were workingfor a computer manufacturing company. The scenario included a new, thin laptop underdevelopment that is housed in a copper shell, which doubles as a heat-sync. The back panel ofthis machine was expressed as a Cartesian grid to simplify student analysis. Students were toldthat two processors, at discreet locations, were maintaining their respective squares on the metalhousing at relatively warm temperatures. In a similar manner

Also, it is very effective whenit comes to a complex system, as complex systems are very difficult to understand for bothpractitioners as well as the end-users.Software Design PrinciplesThe various elements of a software design can be derived using various methods which can beeither data driven or pattern driven or object oriented. Regardless of the method that is used inthe design, a set of design principles should always be applied to a software design171. Design should be traceable to the requirements model.The elements of the design model should be traceable to the requirements model.Requirements traceability is complex, requiring integrated tool support and project teammembers who thoroughly understand the

In the Spring 2022 semester, they introduced a project that washeavier on analysis than design, leaning the assessment more towards Outcome 1 than 2. Afterreading Lutz’s paper about the Rankine Cycle design project, the author worked towardimproving their course project to integrate portions of Lutz’s project design. Each semester sawsmall improvements with the Fall 2023 iteration of the
These are, 1) Visibility,in that project outcomes must be visible to the people controlling the process; 2) Adaptation,such that scope changes must be recognized and responded to quickly in order to minimizedisruptions; and 3) Inspection, in which the team members responsible for quality control mustdo so regularly and be able to detect issues that violate the specifications.The major approaches to agile PM are Extreme Programming (XP), Lean, and Scrum. All ofthese assume that collocated team members work with close integration and frequent face-to-facecontact.5 Another hallmark of these approaches is the rule that “team members work on only oneproject.”6Extreme Programming (XP) came into use in 1996 with customer satisfaction as the

ofengineering and technological literacy among non-engineers [2]. It follows immediately from the argument thatif engineering is necessarily a component of liberal education, and that if it is used as the focal point of aprogram of integrated study, the barriers that have been erected between liberal education and vocationaleducation break down [3].The first intention of this paper is to argue that the pursuit of technological literacy necessarily involves thepursuit of engineering literacy. Secondly, it demonstrates a model of technological literacy in which the twoliteracies are conflated. It is shown that the capabilities required by the model would also meet the requirementsof such groups of employers as those who responded to the report from the
