exposed me to the various ways doctors can be involved in biotech through entrepreneurship and science, a topic I am really interested in. To do so, he highly recommended pursuing an MD-PhD program. This was also something that I knew about but never really considered, and it is something I am considering now.” “Overall, I think the legacy project is a well-intentioned idea for the curriculum. Establishing a connection with an alumnus is a valuable method for networking. Further, learning from the experiences of past Pitt associates is a good way to understand how the school’s education and processes have changed. I think that if a student can maintain their connection with the alumnus they met, it could have lasting impacts on their careers

When designing theprogram, the length of time that students are required to work on the project has to be selected.The program can be a short term project such as a week, or as long as one or more semesters[10]. Short mission-style trips abroad for engaging students in simple projects that provideservice where needed, e.g. physical labor in construction, is one of the initial efforts to exposestudents to the overseas issues. Although they are easy to plan, manage, require less funding, andrequire less curriculum changes to incorporate, they have low educational impacts.

CTEP is designed toprovide engineering faculty at both ERAU campuses with incentives andopportunities to advance their skills in the use of professional-grade engineeringsoftware as well as in the use of other contemporary educational technologies. Itis hoped that this project will foster and encourage enthusiasm among theengineering faculty for the implementation of technology within the courses theyteach. It should also help them identify opportunities within the curriculum for theapplication of modern engineering technologies that could enrich course delivery,enhance student-developed design

problem isnot the specific material covered in the computer programming courses but the lack ofreinforcement that the students receive from other engineering courses with regard to computerprogramming skills. Only one or two of the courses in the IE curriculum include computermodeling assignments that explicitly involve programming. As such, students do not learn tothink of their programming skills when faced with a problem that would benefit from theirapplication. To address this problem, we have developed with the support of the NSF Divisionof Undergraduate Education, a set of instructive modules for some IE professional courses in ourcurriculum. Our long term goal is for the students to learn to recognize opportunities to applytheir

However, atleast two commercial companies now offer desktop milling machine systems that canmanufacture prototype printed circuit boards quickly, safely, and at low cost, without achemical process.Three years ago, in an effort to find an alternative to either breadboard or traditional PCBtechnology, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Lafayette Collegepurchased a printed circuit board milling machine system and began integrating its useinto the ECE curriculum.
