a result, there have been many studies on this topic – how to effectively assess individuals onteams. In broad terms, instructors must decide on one of two general approaches. On oneextreme, once a team is assigned, instructors can let each team plan and manage the process forcompleting the project, meaning it is acceptable however the team decides to get the projectdone. Typically, this approach leads to every individual on a team getting the same score. Thisapproach is easiest for the instructor since it really doesn’t matter what an individual contributes.All that matters is that the project was completed. However, this approach can create a lot ofstress for the team, especially if they have different objectives. One student might be

theory to engineering practice, a differential-equation perspective is often perceived as “too mathematical,” or “too disconnected” to beof any value. It is our view that the differential-equation view does have value in facilitatingthe fundamental understanding of fluid flow, but it needs to be made accessible to the stu-dents with a reasonable level of effort. The intent of this paper is to describe how we haveincorporated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) into fluid-mechanics courses, especiallyat the advanced levels. In graduate-level fluid mechanics, the students must work with theoretically and math-ematically complex vector and vector-tensor concepts. While such concepts and operatorsare understandable in a purely mathematical sense, it is

This mentorship approach allows an individual to take on the role of bothmentor and mentee.A year-long omnidirectional mentorship program was developed and piloted at a Mid-Atlanticuniversity. This pilot program included ten faculty members, each at various stages of theircareer, from various departments: engineering, computer science, technology, biology,education, and graduate psychology. Assessment of this omnidirectional mentorship programoccurred through focus groups. The data from two mid-point focus groups provided insight intothe developed relationships among participants through their interactions in structuredgatherings. We qualitatively

The purpose of action-oriented research is to “generate knowledge thatcan be used to address practical concerns of local communities, organizations, and groups andincorporate local understandings of specific practices and issues.” When relating this to theengineering discipline as regard to engineering education, action-oriented research has beenlabeled the scholarship of engineering.There is an old saw that the only person who likes change is a baby.

Further, in the last 18 months, particular effort has been spent on identifying,creating, and testing objective, defensible methods of measuring success with respect to theseoutcomes.

The intent is to have the course regularly taughtby two instructors, one from the hardware-oriented faculty, and one from the software-orientedfaculty, although the material is elementary enough that all lectures could be given by oneindividual. In fact, it has been the case several times that one of use has given a lecture in theother’s half of the course.Discussion sections are handled by a graduate

A natural language knowledgemanagement system could be the solution. An integral component of knowledge managementsystems, a knowledge base, is used to optimize information collection, organization, and retrievalfor an organization, or for the general public [1]. Functions of a natural language knowledge basemake it possible to answer specific questions that are likely to be asked repeatedly by other usersbut perhaps in a slightly different manner
