Regarding their self-reported major, anequal proportion of respondents (29%) reported majoring either in chemical or mechanicalengineering; 18% reported majoring in electrical engineering, 11% in civil engineering, 8% ingeneral engineering (required at one institution before declaring an engineering major), and 5%in industrial engineering. Three of the 17 students (18%) who were asked about their parents’education appear to be in the first generation in their family to attend college; that is, neither theirmother nor their father had attended college (we have no information about siblings). However,on the whole, the parents of these 17 respondents were well educated, with 12 of the 17 having atleast one parent with a bachelors or graduate

, laboratoryhardware, Arduino board, dc motor, motor control, motor control hardwareI. Introduction Educational hardware for electronics laboratories is generally very expensive in part becausethe customer base, mostly schools and universities, is not large. Due to the relatively low numberof total units produced, such hardware is almost never as refined or bug-free as a full-upcommercial product, and in our experience independent third-party support is often not available.Using the Arduino board as a laboratory platform avoids all these problems. The Arduino is a widely used, open-source platform for hobbyists and tinkerers, available atlow-cost from multiple suppliers. In fact, the availability and low cost are such that manystudents could acquire

Other descriptive measures includeassessment of faculty attitudes toward the program, observations of classroom interaction, andvarious aspects of the student population such as learner characteristics and attitudes toward theprogram. The components of the program itself will also provide explanatory informationrelative to syllabus composition and the generation of scientific inquiry within eachprogrammatic element.

”Introduction Indiana’s health industry is an extremely important and growing economicengine1. Tremendous advances are being made in pharmaceutical and biotechnologydiscoveries and their applications (including manufacturing), as well as in health careservices. As a result, there is an increasing sophistication of the products and servicesavailable and being developed, with an ever-widening scale of applications andmarketing. This results in ever-expanding needs for college graduates who haveknowledge of life-science-based products and processes. There have been numerousreports of current and projected shortages of human resources possessing the requiredknowledge in the growing industry1. The need for an educated workforce in biotechnology

The directedproject is less formal than a thesis with the objective to engage the student in an industry basedstudy culminating in a report. The topic is generally more practical than a thesis and is expectedto be completed in one semester6. Some educators have questioned the validity of course-onlyand non-thesis graduate education even in applied engineering technology graduate programs.Grubbs and Kozak2 cite the fact that without a thesis, students do not support growth of the bodyof knowledge in a discipline or even focus on applied solutions to problems in the
