. The main goal of the course is to give students the opportunity to learnabout engineering and explore an overview for their proposed field of study. The method wehave chosen is a hands-on approach to give students real experience in the field of engineering.To successfully accomplish this goal, we have established a Community Service-LearningProgram (CSLP) in which all students enrolled in the engineering design course are required tocomplete an assigned service-learning project with a community partner. This projectencompasses not only the fundamental engineering design principles taught to students duringlecture but additionally allows for students to develop interpersonal communication skills whilecommunicating with their project partner

Townley and Parsell note that “the Internet presents mixedmessages that may confuse people as to what is and what is not acceptable appropriationpractice.”5In order to understand how to combat plagiarism, we must understand why students plagiarize.The list of reasons is long and varied. One of the first reasons is that students don’t realize theyare plagiarizing. Granitz and Loewy studied the files of several students who were caughtplagiarizing at a major university.

. Page 5.329.1What is History, Theory and Criticism?Before considering this paradigm to include History, Theory and Criticism in technical courseswe must first define what History, Theory and Criticism are in this relationship. In theirsimplest manifestations, the American Heritage Dictionary provides a reasonable startingpoint. It defines them as follows: • History: “The branch of knowledge that records and analyzes past events”; • Theory: “A set of rules or principles designed for the study or practice of an art or discipline”; • Criticism: “The act of making judgements and evaluations”The italics are mine and are used to emphasize the key attribute of each subject as related to theuse of the word in this

The authors feel thatenvironmental awareness should start early in our educational system. The paper describes howlife cycle methodologies and tools can be implemented in a mechanical design for theenvironment course. In addition, the paper shows how searching the Internet has led to thediscovery and use of software for post manufacturing life cycle analysis. This software and otherscould easily be used in the classroom to evaluate common products (e.g., household appliances)and industrial case studies.1.

DevicesPlasmonics, the study of the optical properties of nanoscale metallic structures has been the focusof intense research interests over the past few years. The ability to fabricate metallicnanoparticles and customize their optical properties through plasmon resonances extends thefundamental understanding of nanophotonics. Remarkably, this technique was used even in theRenaissance period when colored stained glass windows where made using nanometer sizednoble metal particles in glass. Pictures of these windows and the vibrant colors provide themotivation for this module. This module introduces the concept of plasmon resonance,introduced by Mie in 1908, and presents recent research to improve this process using core-shelland other structural changes [5

population’s scholastic performance1,2,3.Composites such as grade point averages (GPAs) and the mathematical sum of test resultcomponents on standard college entrance examinations serve as a basis for decision-making in jobhiring and advanced educational admissions. Calculation of grade point average (GPA) is standardprocedure in most schools. One purpose assigned to GPAs is to predict which students willsuccessfully complete a desired objective, such as graduating from college or performing a particularjob. Colleges routinely use the student's high school GPA and college entrance examinations inmaking admissions decisions. Yet, studies over many years have consistently shown that suchmeasures are poor predictors of success2,3,4,5,6,7
