Previously,these courses were taught independent of each other and most students did not recognize theconnection between math and science and the design process. Even though group projects in thePrinciples of Design course promoted creativity and the use of systematic methods for solvingproblems, there remained a lack of understanding among the students of the linkages of calculusand introductory physics to engineering design. Working as a team, the engineering, physics,and math faculty incorporated the physics and calculus the students were learning that semesterinto the design projects. These projects were assigned in the freshman

The faculty needed a three-year BSc curriculum which could be followed by any one of the several 2-year MSc specializations. (This 3-2 split was dictated by the Minstry of Education as a result of a European agreement, by the way.)2. Determine its design criteria. What specifically must graduates be able to do once they have their BSc or MSc diploma? The answer to this was conveyed in the above profile. An additional curriculum design requirement was that the Freshman year should convey a realistic impression of the profession being entered.3. Create conceptual solution alternatives.

The key components of LCs at A&M are: (1) clustering of students in commoncourses (math, engineering, science); (2) teaming; (3) active/cooperative learning; (4) industryinvolvement in the classroom; (5) technology-enhanced classrooms; (6) undergraduate peerteachers; (7) curriculum integration; (8) faculty team teaching; and (9) assessment andevaluation. Based on the experience with its pilot curricula and the experiences sinceinstitutionalization in 1998-99, A&M believes that the LCs offer a superior educationalexperience for engineering students. Development of learning communities in both the first andsecond years of the engineering curricula at Texas A&M has been described in a paper byFournier-Bonilla et. al. 5 Based on

While many applications of networked sensor systems are yet to be eventhought of, the reality is that they are being deployed today and will continue to proliferate formany years to come until they eventually become as commonplace as a typical public utility likeelectricity.This paper describes aspects of an NSF funded CCLI project (DUE 0736888), titled, “TheSensor Networks Education Project” (SNEP) that seeks to develop materials and a modelteaching laboratory that will be useful for other faculty and organizations at the two- and eventhe four-year college level to emulate.

design and construction curriculum integration, it is importantto note traditional educational approaches in these disciplines. Design disciplines, such asarchitecture and interior design, structure their curricula around studio-based teaching which areusually 4 to 6 semester credit hours and involve more contact. Such courses are typically project-based within which a student is presented with a defined design project brief and is expected,with intense faculty guidance, to develop a design proposal. This approach is supported with anumber of lecture-based technical and non-technical classes. On the other hand, construction Page

EF1015 and EF1016 are both 2credit hour courses typically offered in the fall and spring, respectively. In addition to teaching,EF faculty are the advisors of the 1200+ first year students.BackgroundUntil the fall of 2001, EF1015 topics included ethics, the engineering profession, problemsolving, programming with MatLab, statics; material balance; electricity; and energy.Traditional EF1016

students around the U.S. are facing additional challenges. The only trend infavor of AE that is revealed from the small amount of literature present specific to AE, is that30 % of AE graduates started in a different major or institution [10]. This implies that AEmajor becomes attractive after the early years into college when students may have hadexposure to internships, research, mentor or faculty, and have had some credible experiencewith engineering to decide on a major. Lowest persistence rates among all engineeringdisciplines especially in the early years could also imply that students who start in AE arebeing pushed out by their early years into an AE program.

This approach may be sufficient to excite scientists,some Nobel Laureates have mentioned that one aspect of a single lecture stimulated their career;but it is not engineering. The Chemistry faculty at Rensselaer had never taught the course in thismanner. Expanding on their teaching style we were able to adopt the philosophy "Involve meand I'll not only learn but understand and remember", as we developed our course.

ProjectsAbstractStudents in computer science, software engineering, and related disciplines must master a broadrange of technical knowledge, skills, tools, and processes. They must also learn to navigate,understand, and contribute to real-world code, documentation, and diverse communities ofdevelopers, users, and other stakeholders. One effective way for students to develop suchknowledge, skills, and attitudes is to participate in Humanitarian Free & Open Source Software(HFOSS) projects. Research has shown that student participation in HFOSS projects has apositive impact on student motivation to study computing and a strong positive impact onperceived learning related to software engineering [1,2].

If the faculty in thesegroupings do not interact, then developing Standards on skill intersections will bedifficult to accomplish. However, a more fundamental reason might be that it isunclear what IT technician skills belong in an OT technician’s environment.Caucus interactions with manufacturing participants about what IT skills are needs intheir operational environment produced a broad range of responses.
