The lack of anassigned textbook was not seen to be a hinder on the student ability to use the referencesprovided. At the end of each semester the University administers evaluations, and one of thequestions on this evaluation is: “The course materials used, such as visuals, texts, handouts andon-line items, helped me learn.” The students respond on a scale of 5 to 1 with 5 being“Significantly Agree” and 1 being “Significantly Disagree.” In all of these semesters, theaverage for this question

In an effort to assure ourselvesthat these three areas were being properly treated, a pilot master’s level fluid mechanics coursewas taught within the Mechanical Engineering Department at New Mexico State Universitytreating the subject from both the classical mathematical and the numerical perspective. Thematerial for this course was obtained by combining the material from a traditional Master’slevel theoretical fluid mechanics course, taught for several years within the department, and acomputational fluids

visionary technologies.Science fiction short stories provide a way to merge disciplinary content with the mainstays ofethics education such as stakeholder identification and analysis using differing frameworks.Science fiction has been used in non-technical courses to try to stimulate interest or appreciationfor engineering [11, 12]. These courses often focus on the technology rather than the use oftechnology. However, in recent years, professors have begun to experiment with science fictionshort stories as vehicles for teaching disciplinary ethics (e.g. [13, 14, 15, 16, 17]).

, mainlyminority, computer science and engineering students, we have recently embarked on anambitious and comprehensive transformation of a major sector of our Computer Science andEngineering curriculum, the first stage of which is transforming the means by which major goalsand objectives of three key courses, Data and Information Structures (COSC-3345), DigitalImage Processing (COSC-4333), and Computer Graphics (COSC-4330) are achieved. The goalis to integrate in a rather “fun and games” way basic concepts from mathematics, statistics,signal and image processing, and computer graphics into a real-life game project. The threecourses are meshed synergistically through a well thought-out 2-D/3-D gaming project, which isintroduced in the junior level course

)AbstractStudies have shown that science experience outside of school plays a significant role ininfluencing students’ interest in studying science in the future. Similarly, engineeringoutreach has been shown to be an effective way to positively affect students’ interest inthe study of engineering. Additionally, it has been reported that students in middleschools are allowed to make limited choices in their course selection. Thus, the middle-school years appear to be a crucial time in which to engage, expose, and broaden theirengineering experience. Therefore, each year for the past nine years, the EngineeringDivision of the college has hosted National Engineers Week activities for middle schoolstudents.

During 1998-2001, we worked on an interdisciplinary project that produced multimediacase studies designed to improve engineering education. These case studies were developed inpartnership with industries and brought a real-world decision making environment into theclassroom.
