thesevideos on student learning on the topic of phase diagrams was quite positive also, as will bediscussed later.Another significant milestone is that Wiley Publishing has adapted over two dozen shortMuddiest Point videos into the Wiley Plus student learning resource site that are linked to thelatest 9th edition of their best-selling introductory materials textbook by Callister and Rethwisch,Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction. The tutorial videos are denoted in thetextbook with “margin concept cues” that inform the student that a short tutorial video isavailable to clarify and remedy Muddy Points on a particular topic. It will be interesting to seethe effects of this innovation on instructor teaching and student learning in materials

Evidence of thisimpact includes both required courses and numerous electives in engineering ethics. Lynch14reports that nine of the top 10 US engineering schools have some ethics component in theircurriculum. However, several researchers3,15,16,17,18,19 have criticized the microethics approachthat is typical in

Bush (1983) expresses it, “Every innovation has both positive and negativeconsequences that pulse through the social fabric like waves through water.” Tools, Bush argues,are not neutral; they have a valence, ‘a bias or “charge” analogous to that of atoms’ that results ina tendency for “particular tools to be favored in certain situations. . .to perform in a predictablemanner in these situations, and . . .to

This section was addedafter a review by focus groups concluded that there needed to be a more explicit link betweenthe development of scientific and technological knowledge and the history of both WesternEurope and Islamic Spain. Students in this course tend to think of modern science andtechnology beginning with the Renaissance in Western Europe—they often do not have thehistorical knowledge as to how most of this knowledge was transmitted to Western Europe. Inthe remainder of this section looked at specific scientific innovations and technologies that weretransferred to Western Europe through Islamic Spain and was divided this into three sections:mathematics, astronomy, and chemistry and medicine.Each section of

engineer. However, these terms are somewhat vague and oftenmisunderstood. This is so because integrated-circuit technologies have evolved at a rapid rateduring the last couple of decades. Increased chip complexity and chip functionality—coupledwith new product innovations—have helped blur the definitions. In the modern era, nearly threebillion CPU’s are put to market every year6. And the number will only continue to rise at animpressive rate.One of the foremost questions related to the design of embedded systems is the following: Whatshould be classified as an embedded computer? As an example, consider the personal computer(a.k.a., PC), which immediately evokes the following secondary questions: • Does the PC contain one or more embedded

:‚ Gradually end the subsidization of higher education. This will have two benefits: reduce the numbers of university bound students as well as generate the needed income to improve the conditions of the struggling institutions. The current Egyptian Constitution states that instruction in State education institutions is free. Hence a constitutional amendment would be needed for such approach to be implemented.‚ Encourage the establishment of more foundation/organization owned/run institutions.‚ Promote the introduction and use of latest instructional technologies, “blended” eLearning, and distance and distributed educational approaches.

The engineering program’s goal is toeducate engineers who are adaptable to the rapidly changing demands of society; preparing themto lead society toward an equitable and sustainable future.1 The engineering faculty membersrealize that establishing this program and achieving these ambitious goals will require substantialinnovations in pedagogy and curriculum. This paper describes some of the pedagogicalapproaches that are being put into place.
