Schools, very few international Master’s programs currentlyexist in the Old Continent.The Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications de Bretagne (ENST Bretagne), aFrench Graduate School (Grande Ecole) in Information Technology, has decided to open twoInternational Master’s Programs at the beginning of the academic year 2000-2001 :• A dual degree : French Master in Telecommunications and American Master of Science (M.S) in Computer Science/Electrical Engineering. (Partner University: Texas A&M).• European Masters in Optical Data Communications and Telecommunication Networks (Partner University: University of Bristol, UK).This paper will attempt to describe how these programs were designed and how they maydevelop over future
the PEMFC design makes this type of fuel cell an ideal candidate foruse in a variety of applications, several areas within the technology need to be advanced to makethem a practical and cost effective solution8-12. Issues associated with water management,membrane longevity, and cost need to be addressed in order for the PEMFC to be seriouslyconsidered as a viable alternative to present day carnot-cycle/heat engines. As a result, a lot ofactivity within the fuel cell community is centered on improving membrane and electrodematerials, developing methods for managing product water levels and implementing novelmanufacturing techniques to reduce cost 12-16.During the last few years, several fuel cell research centers have been created at the

The project’s sponsors wishedto produce teams that functioned at a higher level of integration and collaboration than traditionalmethods generated. In essence, the multidisciplinary team experience was to prepare graduateswho entered the fields of design and construction with the skills needed to enhance and promoteintegrated philosophies through leadership. Our case study was conducted over a four-year trial period consisting of a year-long, twocourse sequence pilot program. The program ran from Fall Semester of 2009 through Spring Se-mester of 2013. This program was open to 5th year AE students enrolled in either the Bachelor ofArchitectural Engineering (BAE) degree, the integrated

Each SDP consists of an (i)educational materials development component and a (ii) supervised research conduct component.The former component entails the implementation and documentation of an assigned, MachineLearning algorithm and/or approach. Code is developed in the C++ programming language andexecutables are delivered as MATLAB MEX files. The design and implementation of the codefollows well described, pre-specified guidelines, which are collectively referred to asdevelopment standards. These standards include software design, coding, and testingmethodologies as well as applications of well established software engineering principles, whichwill guarantee the deployment of functionally robust, computationally and memory usageefficient code

Interest was high among students, and the director likedthe idea, so it was set. The plan was to design a Bluetooth speaker, then develop hands-oneducational activities to combine with the speaker

So he appliedfor the Summer Online Course Development Program at Sac State to develop an onlineThermodynamics course. His application was accepted and he developed the course in spring 2019in collaboration with a professional instructional designer. This emphasizes the importance ofinstitutional supports for online courses.The online course was designed in Canvas as the learning management system (LMS). The firstmodule was primarily devoted to create a healthy relationship between the instructor and students,among students, and between students and course contents (Figure 1). For this purpose

lecture course while only 12.0% of online students did so. This issignificant because the lab course (also held on campus) was designed to reinforce the conceptslearned in the lecture. Hence, the on-campus students have an advantage over online students inthat they are able to apply and experimentally verify concepts learned in the lecture course. Itshould be noted that in many California engineering programs, the Circuits Lab course isrequired of all EE majors but not the other engineering majors.Table 1.

These nuanced discoveries underscore the impor-tance of curriculum design in alignment with student demographics and preparation, challengingeducators to balance academic rigor with the facilitation of student success.

website features isthe fact that they are under enormous time pressure, and course management features reduce theirown requirement for organization while more advanced course content supplements are typicallynot required and are above and beyond the graded course requirements. On-line quizzes andadvanced tutorials in the courses we surveyed were provided as additional learning material andwere not graded or required. A recent study of the effectiveness of a course website by Masten etal. at the Michigan State University concluded that intermediate website features such as tutorialswere not used unless their use was mandated.6 While our students and engineering program are very unique, our findings do not appearto be as unique and are

This paper demonstrates that building smart phoneapplications is not just limited to games, but also how students can use it to build applicationsthat inform and educate which can also expose students to even more topics which are nottraditionally covered by conventional software courses. This paper thereby serves as aninnovative way to expose technology students to this fascinating topic and give them a forum forcreative development which challenges them to enhance their skill-set through active learning.IntroductionHow we communicate usually determines the success with which our message is received orunderstood…or even accepted. Many universities are faced with the challenge to attract the

Application areas include elasticity, vibration, and heat transfer, butmost application problems necessarily lack complexity so that they can be solved by hand orthrough non-specific computational software.

One of the major tenets of thecapstone program is for students to utilize competencies gained in their first three years of studyin the solution of a real-world engineering design problem.
