integratesmachine learning modules into a variety of first and second year engineering courses and thesecond phase that involves the development of two upper level courses in machine learning. Ourcurrent project, also funded by the National Science Foundation, is an adaptation of the aboveproject. Our target audience is different. Our material targets juniors and seniors who have astrong computer science background, including programming, data structures and algorithms,and discrete mathematics. Thus, we can concentrate on machine learning concepts and use themas a unifying theme for introducing the core concepts of artificial intelligence. In addition, theframework being proposed is adaptable to allow instructors to extend it based on local needs.Our

One student summarized herexperience: “There were no textbooks or directions telling us what to do, what to measure,where to store our information or how to analyze it….The greatest part of this project: knowingwe’re making a difference.”1IntroductionA brief phone conversation between Karen Horton and Ken Wild in July 2003 started twelvestudents and two faculty members at the University of Maine (UM) on an enviable servicelearning odyssey.

To examine this question, engineering professorsfrom two different institutions, The United States Military Academy (USMA) and CalvinUniversity (Calvin), applied different approaches to homework and frequent quizzes toencourage spaced practice for improved retention. The course at USMA was an introductoryconstruction management course taught in the Department of Civil & Mechanical Engineering.The course at Calvin was an upper-level hydraulic engineering course required for all studentsgraduating with a concentration in civil and environmental engineering or energy, environmental,and sustainability

This constrictsprojects to be narrow, focused and often simplistic in order to finish in the allotted time. [1] An alternative approach has been discussed by Hagler to give the students thetools so that they can do "hardware homework." This allows the students to do some oftheir laboratory work outside of the laboratory class. There are several significantbenefits from this approach. These include: • Giving the students a higher level of understanding • Allowing the

The KEEN EML Framework and KEEN CardsThe Entrepreneurial Minded Learning educational framework has gained increased attention andpopularity within undergraduate engineering education. The framework promotes both skillsetsand mindsets for engineering students. Mindsets have become popularized as educators havebecome more aware of the work of psychologists on topics such as grit [8] that assume theimportance of resilience in learning. Similarly Carol Dweck’s growth mindset emphasizes howdifferent forms of feedback impact the comfort level of students as they work on problems.KEEN has published a list of skillsets and mindsets hypothesized to be important in EML

Giving Individual Exams In a traditional course, individual exams that test all of the objectives provide a proven method forenforcing individual accountability. This prevents the situation where there is “only a group product,demonstration, or performance to be evaluated, [leaving] no mechanism for individual accountability.”8The pressure of an impending exam will motivate individual students to look at all of the testable coursematerial.

For example, acontainer application and its user interface can be developed in Visual Basic.

Expertsadded value to Internet resources by discovering them, describing them and making themsearchable and browseable.While the basic premise for the development of subject gateways remains relevant today, themodel on which they operate is changing.

of view, there are two challenges using a softdisposable contact lens with a new electrochemical glucose sensor. First, how do we get theelectrochemical sensor to stabilize on they eye to take a glucose concentration level? In theFigure 4 (a) and (b), both pictures show how a rigid and soft contact lens normally fit on thecornea of a patient. By applying the sensor on top of both lenses, in Figure 4 (a) and (b), thesensor would move and cause inaccuracy of readings. The proposed answer to this question is tohave a disposable lens designed so that the electrochemical sensor would piggyback the contactlens in the proposed cutout of the lens as shown in Figure 4 (c). The second challenge in thisstudy is to determine which lens material would be
