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

, evenwhen there is some assessment of the instructional methods provided by the teacher, it isseparate from the curriculum. Our approach to using computers and multimedia ineducation addresses these issues by providing a symbiosis of assessment and instruction.We use a dynamic kind of assessment to assess the whole instructional process (not onlythe student, like most assessments do) and to inform instruction. We also use instructionto inform our assessment tools, hence the mutual codependence (or symbiosis) ofassessment and instruction. We call the approach Dynamic Multiple Assessment (DMA)method because it dynamically assesses the student, the domain, and the instructionaltools (or the teacher, indirectly).

It may stem from the fact that wireless communications, DSP, and SDR are alltopics traditionally taught at the graduate level within Electrical and Computer Engineering(ECE). Thus, the majority of persons with the requisite knowledge and interest will be ECE MSand PhD graduates. While many ECE graduate level students are strong coders, softwaredevelopment skills are not the primary focus of traditional ECE programs, at least whencompared to that of a typical Computer Science (CS) curriculum.

Twoimportant goals of the computer architecture class are to give the students a good understandingof: 1. how digital hardware is used in the construction of a computer, and; 2. how each instruction propagates through the microprocessor.These goals are especially important for the first exposure of the undergraduate student tocomputer architecture.

. IntroductionIn academics, there is a need for drawing the best students into engineering as well as retainingthem. One approach to doing this is to have engineering projects as part of the curriculum topique their interest in the field. Using sports related projects is a good way to accomplish thissince most of the students have some experience by either participating or as a spectator. Inaddition to delivering material that the students can relate to, multi-disciplinary projects areuseful for demonstrating how several distinct course topics are needed to solve technicalproblems.In this paper, a class project in which the students design a golf ball using LS-DYNA isdescribed. In addition to describing the way this has been done at Kettering University
