instructor as to which project rank at the top and the bottom.While working with a team of researchers on a grant proposal, a discussion came about amongseveral colleagues on how to model experiments in creativity. The working hypothesis that wasused stated the following: individuals are more creative than groups even though groups couldgenerate many more ideas by brainstorming. The primary goal of group brainstorming is togenerate a wide variety of ideas but people often refrain from acting on them. They think theirideas are too strange or unrealistic and they fear negative reactions from other group members(Diehl & Stroebe, 1987; Osborne, 1957). Individuals on the other hand can explore creativeconnections and combinations beyond the normative

IntroductionSince traditional communications engineering courses are largely theoretical and provide littlehands-on experience, they often appear dry and impractical to students. Even in lab sections,students may be asked to design and construct simple modulators and demodulators, but theyrarely have the opportunity to participate in the front-end design decisions necessary for acomplete communication system. Consequently, they often leave

At this point, we must emphasize that more data is required to reflect the definiteimpacts of this project on engineering and science students. So far, we have not launched theproject among a wide number of students. We intend to use this pilot project in Spring of 2010.As of now, only limited numbers of students have actually utilized the IVLP system and, overall,we have received positive feedback from them. In two cases, our students have reported minorsoftware bugs which we have corrected. However, in the past several semesters we offered ourstudents the option of

The existingexperiments have become dated and in many cases have devolved to demonstrations by theteaching assistants, with little hands on experimentation by the students. This has resulted inseverely decreased student satisfaction with the labs. An extensive redesign was performed todevelop hands-on, open ended lab experiments that allowed students increased control over theoutcome of the experiments. Pre-lab homework assignments require students to develop labprocedures, research sensor specifications, and develop virtual instruments in NationalInstruments’ LabView.

In this fashion, hardware control is easily integrated into a Windowsapplication. Furthermore, OLE is a great educational tool because it modularizes the applicationat hand. This allows a number of students of differing skill levels to take part in programdevelopment.With using OLE as a software building tool, development, management, and enhancement ofsoftware is drastically simplified. Likewise, software is less prone to errors and less time is spentin development.1. IntroductionThis paper is organized into six sections.
