innovation and efficiency, as well. Curiosity about the subject played a big role in helping us tackle project challenges. Because we were new to coding and design, our curiosity drove us to explore various resources and learn more. We spent time researching online, watching tutorials, and asking questions, which helped us understand complex parts of the project step-by-step. Our curiosity also motivated us to try different methods and experiment with new ideas rather than just following basic instructions. This helped us solve issues creatively, especially when we ran into problems with coding and button functions. Curiosity kept us engaged, helped us stay positive, and ultimately led us to find solutions that we might not have considered otherwise

In 1997 and 1998 the author and a collaborator (Alice M.

Thechallenge in the first graduate course is to review and build enough of a foundation to launch thestudent into product design and research and to wet his or her appetite for advanced study.IntroductionA half century ago the first course at the graduate level in electromagnetic theory commonly wasbased on a textbook such as Plonsey and Collin.1 The course strongly emphasized Ma eequations and their analytical solution with applications to open- and closed-structures. In manyrespects the course outline followed that of its undergraduate cousin, but at the graduate levelvirtually every topic was approached with increased mathematical rigor. This theoreticalemphasis was especially strong in the

That professorhelped the group run a series of simple experiments to determine the dust’s properties. The groupdiscovered that an Etch-A-Sketch is filled with aluminum dust. These students stated that they gainedmore from that chemistry experience than in their regularly scheduled laboratory projects because “it wasfun”.From the instructor’s view, the project reports were engineering-related and well organized.

To accommodate the complexities of a wide range of multi-agentsystems, various simulation platforms are utilized such as, JADE, VOLTRON, MASON, GAMAetc. [15]. However, physical experiments are equally as important, for both validation as well aseducation. For example, wind tunnels can be simulated using computation fluid dynamicssoftware, but using a physical wind tunnel to test designs can provide more accurate data.

I’d like to present some ways in which we can help makestudents' oral communication experiences more successful, useful, and lasting by making them more comfortable. When I first started teaching the oral presentation seminar for junior-level chemical engineering studentsat Michigan Tech six years ago, I inherited a course where each student gave two 10-minute speeches on sometechnical or scientific topic. The topic could be one they had researched in a journal, something covered in class,or, for those lucky enough to have co-oped, a review of that co-op or internship work. As
