I amconfident that I will be at least somewhat prepared for entry level engineering courses.”“This class has challenged me and has taught me how to study more efficiently.”Further illustrating the advanced and challenging nature of the course, the high school instructorat Oxon Hill High School said that “It’s a great opportunity for the students. In my experience,some of the hands-on opportunities they are getting, I didn’t explore until graduate school.”In the near future, quantitative results will be available for distribution.

The benefit offootbridges as a poverty alleviation strategy in rural communities is clear, with the casebecoming stronger as more long-term monitoring and evaluation studies are completed.Service-learning has the potential to significantly benefit students, institutions, and thecommunities in which the project is implemented [4]–[7]. As a result, service-learning projectshave been incorporated across engineering curriculums as parts of both formal coursework andas extracurriculars.

This includes the topics of computer security, network security, cryptography,and information assurance.

Presently we offer two courses, one at the graduatelevel. A graduate course on image (or two-dimensional signal) processing is underdevelopment. The subject of signals and systems (and the DSP) are heavily dependent onmathematical concepts such as convolution, difference/differential equations, design offilters, transform methods and power spectrum.

These studies provide a bridge between mathematics and basic sciences on the one hand and engineering practice on the other. Engineering design is the process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. It is a decision making process (often iterative), in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and the engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet these stated needs. c.) a general education

, shows that students improved their abilities to performcalculations, but not their understanding of conceptual material.Introduction A traditional college instructional approach is for course content to be delivered tostudents via lecture and for students to take time on their own to read, think and practicecalculations until they have learned the material. Some universities, particularly those with asupply of graduate teaching assistants often have recitation sections for students to ask questions,discuss course content and further practice problem solving. Instructors at colleges anduniversities without recitation sections often try to squeeze problem solving time intermittentlywithin the scheduled lecture, hopefully without
