This willensure their educational success, thereby giving them access to well-paying jobs andimproving their economic well-being.Some of the projects discussed in this paper were conducted in collaboration with theSloan Museum in Flint, MI. For example, during robotics and other hands-on exhibits atthe museum, some of the robots developed by the students were also on display (Figure1). Some of the students in the freshman introductory engineering class moreovervolunteered with teaching robotics to middle school children in the neighborhood.A few of the student

Involvedstudents, both graduate and undergraduate, were coming from various disciplines, includingmechanical and software engineering, economics, education, business and art design.Exhibit OverviewThe exhibit station consists of two main components: a set of interactive computer games and anexhibit kiosk, which constitutes both the physical display environment and houses the computerequipment 11. These parts are designed to complementarily satisfy the three goals of exhibitdesign, mentioned above.

Since about 70 percent of Americans are past the school age, updating theirtechnological literacy requires access to opportunities outside of formal education. Youngergenerations have yet to develop their technological skills and interests, but opportunities for thatin a structured, pre-college education are limited. The importance of inducing technologicalliteracy and interests in younger

IntroductionEngineering and science education must take into account the social, economic and politicalcontexts of their disciplines, help students develop new skills and interests and conductundergraduate research. The engineering education of today must be motivating and interestingto get the students’ attention.

thatengineering graduates often lack expertise in various forms of writing including correspondence,executive summaries, and design proposals. Requiring a separate technical writing course andthen technical reports in a few others simply does not achieve the expectations of employers.The faculty determined that a more integrated four-year experience may yield better results, butit could not be implemented without common and current resources to use as a guide. Thesolution to this need has been met with the web-based tools as described in this paper.BackgroundIn the early days of personal computer software development, tutorials quickly made inroads intothe educational market. This trend continued as computers became connected through theInternet. Today

The emphasis is on the centralization of educational material which in turn means a reduction in the expenditure on educational research. Accordingly, If schools and children from all across Pakistan, from Karachi to Khyber are able to access the most modern and constantly updated informational resources through a highly inexpensive computer network, what need remains to spend millions on independent syllabi research.5.

However,once translated, a whole new phase of interaction takes place between the student and theirhomework. When an assignment is submitted, the course management software can grade it andreturn the results to the student immediately.
