the communication example,if a participant writes down an idea clearly, but struggles to articulate it, what score should begiven? Second, because there is no sliding scale for quality, evaluators must base their scores ontheir subjective understandings of a definition. If two evaluators actually agree upon the actions aparticipant did but end up giving the participant differing scores of 3 and 4, how do they accountfor discrepancies in scoring? The need for detailed rubrics also extends past the hiring process to the promotion ofengineers. A lack of clearly defined behavior traits can make it difficult for supervisors toacknowledge progress of an employee, and for employees to keep track of their growth in acompany. For example

Although makingthe students to show all their solution steps, especially drawing cash flow diagrams and statingapplicable equations, has proved to be very unpopular with them, presentation of completesolution steps is a gradable requirement. To emphasize logical presentation of work, studentshave been given problems, especially during the early part of the semester, where computation isnot required. Rather, the students are asked to draw cash flow diagrams and state the formulathey will use to solve the problem noting the applicable variables and values.5. Use

So in addition to pedagogical and teamworkchallenges are the often prohibitive obstacles of facilities and cost.The most perceptible goal of the authors’ present work in MEMS education is to develop anundergraduate hands-on course in MEMS, with a variety of modules to reflect a representativeset of the many different applications and technologies involved.

In the program’sconstrained course environment, course topics typically addressed with multiple courses at otherinstitutions are combined into a single course at USMA. One particular composite course is aHeavy Highway Design and Construction Course, which integrates basic highway designelements with planning for heavy highway construction. Students in this elective have alreadybeen introduced to the basic fundamentals of highway geometric design in a site design courseand have completed a general construction management course.

In the case oftechnical communication, that means helping our students develop their so-called“professional” skills; that is, communication, team work and lifelong learning skills.Recently, the writing-across-the-curriculum (WAC) and writing-in-the-disciplines (WID)models have approached these requirements by integrating communication within varioustechnical classes.

Engineering Ethics

by Rawls, ethicaltheories that emphasize maximizing goodness (i.e., utilitarianism, which we might argueabounds among engineering) are missing the point. Ethics is primary and the good is secondary;hence, in the Categorical Imperative, individual “good” flows naturally from the imperativerather than vice versa. With that said, I think the Categorical Imperative is presumed to beinherently good and universal. Any descriptions of maximizing “goodness” (i.e., viautilitarianism) are relative to individuals, their social contexts, and their prior experiences andhence, insufficient (or even irrelevant) to ethics. As Sandel writes: For Kant and Rawls, the right is prior to the good. The principles of justice that define our duties and

PowerPoint presentations and video clipscould be an effective teaching method as compared to the conventional method of lecture.In this paper, the conventional method of teaching (CMT) is defined as a more verbal type ofapproach to teaching with very little or no use of multimedia supports. In other words, theinstructors lecture and write on the board, whereas, the students listen, copy the materials, and Page 12.182.2take notes. At CCNY, the norm of teaching pedagogy is that CMT is encouraged.

It was originally designed for geotechnical engineering students. The designersunderstand that their discipline was as much art as science due to the many variable andunknown conditions [4] and no existence of one `right` answer. The theme of this paper is thatthis framework can also be used effectively to teach mathematics in a way that providesmotivation and context in conjunction with the rote practice of skills; offering a blend ofconstructivism and formalism.Background on EFFECTsThe goal of the EFFECTs framework is to formalize the theory-practice-revise problem solvingmethod in a

shipping videotapes, and these delays create problemsfor both students and faculty. At a minimum, this delay is a week, since each Friday the tapes forthat week are mailed to GTL. Another problem with videotapes is the lack of interaction betweenfaculty and student – the student is not able to stop the instructor to ask questions. Finally, it isgenerally acknowledged that videotaped lectures tend to be dull and uninteresting since all that istypically recorded is the instructor writing on a board or lecturing from overhead slides.Because of these problems, in the summer of 1997 we delivered a course from GTL to Atlantausing the Internet1,2.

If the load is inductive, such as a motor or an electromagnet, it is recommended to add a flyback diode in parallel with the load to suppress voltage spikes that appear when the load is rapidly turned off. A typical control circuit is shown in Fig. 3.Figure 3 Controlling loads with an N-channel power MOSFET transistor (GQP30N06L) and Pulse Width Modulated signals.
