This paper is positioned in the area of social tagging research which attemptsto employ social tagging to learn more about some space or community.Folksonomic methods provide a unique approach to understanding developing and dynamicproblem spaces such as engineering education. In this paper, we extend current approaches insocial tagging by allowing users to bring their perceptions and judgments of relative importanceand expertise into the research space. Weighted social tagging takes into account weights taggersgive to tags as well as a confidence rating. This new method addresses the limitations of tagclouds that rely on

I- INTRODUCTION It quite possible that the lack of interaction between traditional course syllabus andmathematical or simulation tools has resulted in a fall of student enrollment in the coursesclassified as heavy current or power engineering in comparison with computer based courses.With the availability of mathematical and engineering simulation software, this trend can beaverted. Starting from the use of dedicated software incorporated in the textbook package [1] tonavigated hyperlink data sites [2], the tutor can introduce the course material in such a way thatstudent interaction is ensured. However, the uses of dedicated software packages are so specificthat they

Withinthe previous three years, SEL had hired a significant number of new graduates with limited or noindustry experience. Overall, these new graduates lacked expertise, knowledge, and even somefundamental electrical engineering information about how the power system operates, theresearch development process, and the protection of power systems. As a significant stakeholderin the electric power industry, it is essential for SEL to provide a balanced and well-developedperformance support mechanism for engineers.

over the details of their designs, both mechanical and electrical subsystems. 2. Design of experiments – Although a design concept might meet the robot specifications, without step-by-step procedures to validate the design, it is difficult if not impossible to implement efficiently. Having students include verification procedures early in the design process became a major goal. 3. Generating diagnostic procedures – Limited equipment resources impact the verification process and, thus, design options. Sometimes, the clever students can successfully modify their verification scheme, other times the design itself is affected. However, being aware of this reality is part of an efficient implementation. 4

Being able to concentrate so heavily on my academics allowed me to achieve very good grades and still maintain a healthy lifestyle i.e. time to exercise and sleep a healthy amount. Feeling more financially secure reduced tremendous amounts of stress that could have detracted from my ability to focus on my current goals and course completion. I feel that not having worries related to money allowed me to relax and approach university work with a clearer head and optimism. It also made affording materials for class much easier.Almost every student remarked how

English as a second language (ESL) were required to enroll in the Research Methodscourse. To meet their needs, the librarians translated the laboratories materials into English.Despite the fact that students found the workload heavy, the impact of the laboratories wasnoticed straight away by the course coordinators and by some research advisors. One of thecoordinators even claimed that the course and the laboratories could reduce the time to completea PhD by 3 to 6 months. Although no formal study on the contribution of the laboratories hadbeen conducted, some students reported that the quality of their bibliographies in theirdissertations or theses was noted by their research advisors or by other faculty members.Timeline: ING6900 Becomes
