addressed? 5. To what extent do programs focus on experiential learning?The impetus for this research is a desire to examine how a College of Technology at a majorresearch-intensive university might integrate more innovative and innovation-related curriculumand experiences into its degree programs in a way that complements existing programs inentrepreneurship, business, and engineering. It also reflects a need to develop a body ofknowledge in this area which addresses a desire of the administration to “move beyond thenarrow definition of Technology as artifacts, systems, and processes to a much broader meaningthat includes leadership, innovation, commercialization, emerging technologies,entrepreneurship, applied and use-inspired research

This paper summarizes our results for these two research thrusts as we en-ter our fourth project year.

interesting to note that one topic where the ABET criteria might go beyond theexpectations of the BOK outcomes is an explicit reference to professional licensure. However,since (1) the BOK defines the knowledge, skills and attitudes expected of an individual “enteringthe practice of civil engineering at the professional level” (to be a licensed professional engineer)and (2) pre-licensure education and experience are central themes of the BOK, the fact thatlicensure is not explicitly included in any of the 24 outcomes is perhaps not overly surprising.Nevertheless, awareness of the importance of licensure and, specifically, knowledge of thelicensure process, content and expectations for passing the FE and PE exams, and theexpectations and requirements

is whether or not it helpsthem learn the material. Labs that are disconnected from the course topics or that are seen asbusywork are not well received by the students. For all the labs studied except for theTemperature lab, the results indicate that labs helped them learn when the experiment was seenas supported by lecture and interesting and engaging. Labs that help students learn are also seenas having information that is applicable to other problems. This is a particularly valuableoutcome for making connections across the curriculum. If students can imagine having to useparticular techniques or sensors in other situations, there is a better chance that they will retainthat information beyond the course.Small amounts of frustration can be

This breadth approach has been lauded as a cost-efficientway to distribute traditional lectures and increase access for students at remote locations3. In thecase of the hydroinformatics course described in this paper, we took the approach of involvingmultiple instructors through synchronous team teaching. Rather than one-to-many, we adopted amany-to-many approach where course sessions were divided among several instructors and eachinstructor took a lead teaching role at various times according to the objectives for that sessionand the expertise of the instructor. All instructors were also

Better design is assumed to mean a course more aligned with curriculum designmodels known to produce superior learning results in undergraduate students. Entrepreneurialmindset is assumed to be a set of individual factors related to the knowledge, skills and attributesthat research has shown lead to a higher probability of entrepreneurial success 10-14.

Mathematics’ coordinator is toassure the equity of the evaluation methods through the semesters. Since the coordinators havebeen in that position for at least two years and have been math instructors at this university forseveral years, we are confident that they know the material as well as the structures of the exams.Therefore, for this study we consider comparable the final grades of a course to those of the samecourse a year before.The same kind of tests were conducted in all courses and semesters compared. There were threetests during the semester. All sections of a course took the tests on the same day. The tests hadthe following structure: • 25% of the evaluation: Conceptual questions. • 25% of the evaluation: Multiple choice questions, in

Today’s learning directors are asked to either develop in-house training or buy standard or customized training from university or other external providersto help succeed in critical projects that will either fulfill a contract requirement or develop aproduct or service. On the surface, the above is true for most organizations. However, in ourobservation as a university training provider to large engineering organizations, we have foundthat the learning models in each company differ from the others. In this paper, we report suchobservations with three different organizations.The University of Kansas has been providing technical training to large aerospace

Norton surface waves are waves thattravel along the earth’s surface in the same way a electromagnetic wave would travel along atransmission line[1]. The losses are dictated by the frequency, the higher the frequency, thegreater the signal attenuation. The Norton surface wave permits reasonable propagation ofsignals below the medium frequency (MF) bands and therefore, depending on the transmitterpower, AM broadcast signals can propagate up to a maximum of hundred or miles or so duringthe day via the surface wave.
