The use of this assessment result in changing the curriculum will be discussed later.Next, a non technical issue, ethics, was analyzed. Engineering educators always stressed, andwill continue to do, the importance of honesty in engineering. Usually, the engineering code ofethics were discussed briefly in an engineering course. Some students learn more bout anindividual’s responsibility associated with an agreement to recognize proprietary, rights andcopyright in a general education course.

Forexample, various communities in countries such as Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya are harnessing thepower of mobile technology and leveraging social media to maintain a voice in the midst ofpolitical oppression. Social media have been cited as the driving force of the uprising orrevolution of 2011, better known as the Arab Spring,1, 2, 3 in which many used blogs, Twitter, andFacebook to facilitate social activism, defuse disinformation, and effect change. Similarly, amore casual example is the use of mobile technology by fishermen, which decreased pricedispersion, eliminated waste, and enabled new modes of cooperation, through the sharing ofinformation regarding promising fishing grounds and rescue at sea.4, 5

Two specially developed lab boards consist of a socket for the CPLD chip, two 7-segmentdisplays, and one 10-bit LED bar on the first, and 12 DIP switches on the second board. Withthese boards, students can easily visualize a digital output from their design. The board can beplugged into a breadboard to allow the addition of any necessary input (e.g. clock generator) andoutput (e.g. stepper motor driver) circuitry.

Since there were insufficientboards available to create defects and obtain sufficient data, several images of ICswith no defects were obtained and new images were created that simulates defects.Table 1 shows the defect criteria used by Matlab defect generation program. TheMatlab defect generation program reads in a text file (containing one integer value foreach pin defect wanted) and a real image containing no pin defects

In total, seven classifiers were built (one for each day of week three) toevaluate the ability to predict at-risk students. Interestingly, some features were repeatedlyselected by RFE over all of the other available features. Note that not all features are available atall times, since some features are tied to assignments which are released over time as the courseprogresses.Table 1 lists the five most frequently selected features in the creation of classifiers (recall thatthese selections occur automatically using RFE).

They are then asked to self assess any changes in their ethical practices as aresult of the course, only now the answers are separated into personal ethical practices andprofessional ethical practices. Once again they use a five-point scale from 1 (no change) to 5(great change). The results for the summer 2003 REU students are shown in Figures 5 and 6.

David Smith, Bugrahan Yalvac Northwestern University Abstract: ABET EC2000 challenged engineering educators to structure learning so that (1) competency is built progressively throughout a curriculum and (2) the notion of “competency” includes not only bioengineering knowledge, but other important professional skills, such as teamwork and communication. Meeting this challenge is difficult in an over-crowded biomedical engineering curriculum, where mastery of domain content is generally emphasized
