University of Wisconsin at MadisonAbstractThe Engineering Education Scholars Program (EESP) is a small but crucial endeavor in theNational Science Foundation’s (NSF) approach to stimulate a comprehensive reform ofundergraduate engineering education. For two summers, EESP has invited diverse groups ofseveral dozen, doctoral engineering students and junior faculty members to participate in aweeklong, hands-on workshop focused on teaching philosophy, classroom skills, and theessentials of the academic career. This paper outlines the background and scope of EESP, thebenefits enjoyed by participants, and tips on establishing EESP at other institutions.Participants testify to enjoying myriad benefits during and after EESP, especially in effectiveteaching

As one father put it, “Faculty who can applymake better teachers because they’ve experienced their own failures along the way.” The schoolwas perceived to have a solid academic reputation in bordering states, and that helped the parentfeel confident of his son’s choice. The small size of the program allows for freshmen to talk withseniors and, by implication, students at other levels, encouraging students to learn from eachother. Parents expressed a desire that more opportunities be created for student-to-student dialog. Parents raised some issues. They wondered about the ease of access to

For nanodevices such as solar cells and light-emitting diodes, inexpensive optical instruments (inspection microscope, Webcam, laser pointer, CCD projector) will suffice for laboratory projects. Simple image processing software can extract and quantify features in the images, rapidly generating large data sets for Six Sigma analysis. Image processing functions available in MATLAB are well-suited for this analysis.  The use of image capture and analysis not only provides sufficiently large data sets for Six Sigma analysis, but offers an opportunity to teach machine vision for process diagnostics and quality assurance.

Concluding remarksIn the above, we have attempted to show how a modern electrical and computer engineeringdegree program must reflect, in a balanced fashion, the wishes and aspirations of its majorconstituencies. In order to achieve this, there must be well-defined goals and carefully specifiedoutcomes showing that those goals have been achieved. Part and parcel of this is an effective setof assessment tools, the results of which must be carefully analyzed to ensure effective remedyof weaknesses. Finally, at all times, all engineering programs, large and small, must try toinculcate, by whatever means, a personal interest in the welfare of the individual student.AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank faculty members of the
