The general lectures/activities serve to create a commonplatform for the students to communicate with each other on critical aspects of their projects.These lectures may focus on educating “nonmajor” students to specific industry tools such ascost estimating to ARCE and Architecture students. Similarly, the general lectures may cover atopic such as permit regulations, presentation skills, or business practices that may benefit allstudents equally. The associated activity is geared to reinforce those basic concepts and furthertheir education. The detailed technical lectures are focused on developing specialized knowledgeto

The class originates on the campus of ISU and is distributed via the Iowa Communication Network (ICN). The three remote sites located at various John Deere corporate offices are interlinked with their own teleconferencing system. These teleconferencing system interfaces with the ICN to provide live audio/video between the four sites. Because these systems are not 100% compatible, technical difficulties periodically interrupted the connection between the sites. However, all sites received videotape after each session.

These laboratories were primarily demonstrations and students were not always allowed to participate directly. A majority of the students were only allowed to observe.2. Often times there were aspects of the labs that students would have explored on their own, but were not given the opportunity. Usually, the labs were so structured that students could not spend their own time with the equipment.3. The labs were not tied together in any way.4.

In the early 1990’s the first course , ECE 101, was restructured toprovide a general introduction to electrical and computer engineering, including modules aimedat helping students make the transition from high school to college.

Because ofthe differing natures of these domains, different approaches to model development will be usedbut the sense of integration will be maintained.Each of these domains can be applied toward learning objectives in two basic methods, static anddynamic. By static, we imply that the model generates information or data that is used bystudents for offline data analysis.

The purpose of thesepresentations was for seniors in mechanical engineering to explain and persuade an audience ofengineering faculty and graduate students about solutions to various technical problems (Alleyand Robertshaw 2003b). At the end of each critique session, the audience discussed what detailsfrom the slides they had comprehended and what details they remembered. Each year, thelessons learned from these discussions were incorporated into the slide design guidelines taughtto the next round of mechanical engineering seniors. The final product of these four years ofcritique sessions is the alternative design discussed in this paper. Appearing in Table 1
