One respondent observed that new technicians often need more formal trainingand new engineers often need more shop floor training.Several respondents noted that technicians need to really understand how systems work andwhy—not just “throw parts at a problem” or look information up on the Internet. Having thistype of knowledge is important for troubleshooting.Future DirectionsOur two-year college collaborators are in the process of analyzing data from the surveys.

interest in the development ofelectronic portfolios. The nature of the Web as an interactive multimedia facility that canprovide information on demand opens up new possibilities for the use of portfolios in manydisciplines. Added interest has been generated by the need to document and access studentoutcomes according to guidelines developed by accreditation agencies such as the AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology. Probably the best known effort for the implementationand use of electronic portfolios is the RosE-Portfolio system developed at the Rose-HulmanInstitute of Technology6. The electronic portfolio was adopted at their institution to reduce theaccessibility problem encountered with the traditional portfolio. Deemed an efficient

Exploring Circuit Education for Early LearnersAbstract:Early exposure to circuits is critical to fostering an interest in engineering for young students, buttraditional circuit education is often not adapted to their cognitive and motor skill levels. Wedeveloped and evaluated two hands-on circuit education approaches, the Circuit Sticks and thePre-Prepared Copper Tape Circuits. Both methods were designed for first-grade students toimprove accessibility and engagement in early circuit learning. The Circuit Sticks provide astructured, guided experience, using color-coded polarity indicators and modular assembly tolower the barrier to entry. The Pre-Prepared Copper Tape Circuits, on the other hand, requireindependent

In this paper, another alternative is considered: can a generic processorwith which the students are familiar from a previous embedded systems class be used to teachDSP, and if so, what is lost by not using the dedicated DSP systems? The pros and cons of bothsides are considered, and results from the use of three different generic processors are presented.IntroductionOver the past 20 years, digital signal processing (DSP) has been introduced into theundergraduate electrical engineering curriculum.

What I like most about this course is that we did a fair amount of research on engineering firms, academic programs and most of all the work we were required to do at the Engineering Expo (answering the seven questions about each company). I liked the overall idea and content the course provided. I like the different assignments because it gave me a general idea about some of the duties I may have to perform. The fact that it was hands on really makes a difference. I also liked the guest speakers and thought that they were very informative. I liked how we had the hands on segment of the Hotel Plaza because who doesn’t love to build something like that? I enjoy things like
