Likewise, Dunn 13 made their students present their project to the external public, the Chicago Page 25.383.6Department of the Environment and to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a verydifferent audience to engineers.Finally, a further skill related with communication, is the ability to express opinions, relay facts,and articulate arguments clearly and concisely in writing.

McCartney, et al.10 at the University of Connecticut wanted tointegrate his Digital Design class with multimedia based content delivery. Students used onlinematerial to become familiar with theory. The instructor strove to mimic the laboratory supportelectronically. The multimedia also allowed for material to be flexible. That is, students could viewthe material at anytime and the material was hyper-linked in such a fashion as to point students tosupplemental material. Again, the modules contained self –test questions to query students aboutthe material, thus giving the instructor the ability to tailor a lecture to student needs.This research also

Buthow are professional relationships established to enable a formalized internship program forfaculty? What are the advantages of internship participation for both the faculty and thecorporation? What are the steps in developing a faculty internship program? How can the “realworld” experience be incorporated into the classroom setting to enhance education? Thesequestions illustrate the critical issues surrounding the design of such a program.

The projectsalso give students experience working with faculty member(s) and help well prepare them intheir oral and written communication skills. Lack of strong written and oral communications hasbeen identified as deficiency in STEM education, resulting in poor success rate. The studentsfrom several departments including Aerospace Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering,and Computer Science Departments work on these projects in an interdisciplinary environment.The goal is to involve the students in these projects for an extended period of time, starting withthe

routers, and associated on-line vendor basedcurricula, such as CCNA, CCNP, are now readily available. This approach to networktechnology education requires an understanding of switch and router operation. However, anextensive analysis of educational materials in this area has indicated that these devices aretypically treated as 'black boxes'. Such an approach may not be best suited to the promotion oflearning as students are required to construct their own mental model of the internal operation ofsuch devices and which may, or may not, be correct. To address this problem a state model hasbeen designed for both switches and routers which allows complexity to be controlled and hencecan be used as a basis for teaching both introductory and advanced

is washed away, the pH undoubtedlyfalls. Between a pH of 11 and 8, the zinc solubility is constrained at 1x10-4M (6.5 mg/l) byZn(OH)2, but as the pH falls below 8, zinc again becomes quite soluble as elemental Zn2+.Therefore, there is no solubility constraint that will prevent feral batteries from yielding highzinc water pollution levels.As additional confirmation of this potential, laboratory batch extraction experiments anddynamic column leaching experiments have been conducted on several types of batteries undervarying environmental conditions. To date, batch extractions have yielded zinc concentrations ofbetween 18.5 mg/l and 107.1 mg/l. Dynamic column studies using a leaching flow of water atpH 4.8 indicate that when first ruptured

In addition, the rubric based approach we haveadopted puts the onus of assessment on the expertise of faculty rather than on the expertise of apsychometrician. This paper presents our reasoning, experiences, and results as we take our researchfrom a traditional model towards a design based research model.Author’s note: Since this paper centers on a project-based implementation currently in progress we areable in the present draft to report results on student progress made to date.
