deprived of the opportunity to take background courses such as 2D-signal processing,computer communications, radiography, and sensors and instrumentation. Compare to traditionalelectrical engineering students, the lack of hands-on lab experience becomes more apparentwhen students are working on capstone senior projects.One strategy we used to solve this issue was to include a mixed capstone project groupcomprising of computer, electronic, and biomedical engineering students. This strategy workedfor few groups but the success rate was less than thirty five percent due to the students’ lack ofpreparation and disadvantage of knowledge compared to traditional electrical engineeringstudents.To rectify this situation we proposed and developed this

It has longbeen acknowledged that in many areas, ‘on the job’ training, self-learning, and other lifeexperiences can result in an individual having full competence in pursuits normallyassociated with study in a college setting. [1] Few educational institutions, however, havethe capabilities or motivation to fully assess these individual’s standing and reward themwith the appropriate credit.These two factors, credit ‘residency’ requirements and lack of effective assessmentpolicies, result in a large body of students and prospective students being denied ordiscouraged from degree attainment. However, society has a well documented need formore engineering science and

engineering problems. By integratingsimulations across several sequential required courses in the mechanical engineering curriculum,we plan to increase students’ ability to use FEA-based simulations effectively and improve theirunderstanding of the concepts developed in these courses. Cognitive research has shown that people’s understanding lies in a spectrum from“novice” to “expert” 3. Conventional learning materials tend to relegate beginners to “novicethinking” by presenting simulation exercises as recipes handed down by authorities. Wieman’sgroup has shown that interactive simulations, when designed using a rigorous scientificapproach, are much more effective in helping physics students develop an expert cognitivestructure than lectures

An important part of the SCALE-UP project is to evaluate both students’reactions to the SCALE-UP class and what they are learning relative to a regular introductorycourse. In addition, individual activities are evaluated both for current effectiveness and with aneye to problems when we begin teaching SCALE-UP to 99

However, there was aninitial question on whether the notes produced should be made available to students. The concernwas whether students would bother taking their own notes if this was the case. However, separatestudies by Perry at the University of Memphis and Cunningham et. al at Rose-Hulman found nostatistical difference between test groups that for which instructor notes were and were not madeavailable.10, 11 In addition to the daily engagement with course material through lectures and home-work, a final project was introduced to engage students in higher level learning, i.e. evaluating andcreating in accordance
