.Software Development Laboratory (SDL) is a three-quarter course sequence in the junior andsenior years, designed to provide the students a “real world” experience in an academic setting.This arrangement provides students an opportunity to work in teams on ongoing large-scaleprojects [3]. This setting also provides an opportunity to students to apply the quality assurancetechniques that they have learnt in various courses to a project at different phases of a project lifecycle. In addition to development responsibilities, students work on various “staff teams” such asthe Software Engineering Process Group (SEPG), the Software Configuration Managementgroup (SCM), the Software Quality Assurance team (SQA), the Planning and Tracking group

Most programs have been using the results of student performance on specificproblems, laboratory experiments, design projects, or other types of reports as primary directmeasurement for assessing student outcomes. Other instruments such as results of thefundamentals of engineering (FE) exam and student surveys are used as secondary instrumentsfor the assessment of student outcomes.

Engineers design electric cars, mobile phones, bridges and processes to clean environment and mass transportation systems to move people and goods. Engineers can choose different types of jobs such as design, manufacturing, research, testing or sales etc. A student interested in discovering new knowledge can consider a career in research. If you are imaginative and creative, design engineering may interest you. If you like computers, you can be a CAD engineer. If you like laboratory and experiments, you may choose development engineering. Engineering is also organized in traditional fields such a mechanical, electrical, civil, chemical, biomedical or computer

experience1In civil engineering, experiential learning is typically delivered through multiple projects thatform the culminating experience for completion of a course or degree. These projects mayinclude term projects for individual courses, senior design projects, theses, or independentstudies. Many undergraduate design courses are often accompanied with term projects. Forexample, a course in design of steel structures may require a culminating design project.. Thepurpose of such projects is to enable students to apply engineering knowledge and skills to solverelevant engineering problems. In this regard, students are expected to follow specific standardsand procedures. This expectation shifts to another level of achievement in a senior design

From a poolof over 400 applicants we selected 48 faculty participants. Because the faculty teamworkaspect is such a valuable part of the Catalyst experience, in as many cases as we could,we invited multiple participants from an institution with the hopes that they would betterbe able to support each other when they returned to their institution.This workshop was designed to introduce participants to principles of instructional designwith a special emphasis on hands-on, practical development of instructional materials thatcan be used in the classroom.

Two other types of elements are typically needed: Means of generating known, controlled signals to be applied to the DSP system as input, and means of monitoring and characterizing the output signals produced by the DSP hardware system. Although the necessary instruments for signal generation and monitoring are available in instructional laboratories at universities, or in some design departments in industry, they may not be available to many interested practicing engineers, or may represent a strong investment for small colleges that would like to implement real-time DSP courses

This program was ultimately intended to bringabout further awareness of environmental and civil engineering as a career for young women byemphasizing mathematics fundamentals.5A further approach to outreach programs for high school students is to enable these students toselect a particular engineering experience based on their own interests. The Milwaukee School ofEngineering is a prime example of an institution developing such activities6. The “Focus on thePossibilities” program, undertaken by the aforementioned institution, afforded talented highschool students the opportunity to design, build, or test a scale-model race car.

In addition, they were shown examples of design sketches,team logs, peer evaluations, design project reports, and final designs.

(3) Project activity should be conducted at a centralized location, as opposed to dispersing it among a variety of shops and laboratories. A centralized facility engenders a sense of community among participants and is also helpful in making the projects grow into startup companies.

Finally, they developed goodprogramming skills along the way, even though this lack entailed a somewhat steeplearning curve at the beginning of the course. An immediate question that I faced when
